If you missed my tweet last night, Amanda McCarthy posted this photo on Twitter last night:

It’s great to see McCarthy get some national attention – what he went through to return to the big leagues and to pitching effectively is extraordinary. Last year at this time, the A’s didn’t know what they were getting. This season, he’s the likely Opening Day starter.

And if you don’t follow the two of them on Twitter, I highly recommend it. They’re hilarious, the Nichols and May of the pro-athlete Twitter set. To follow: @BMcCarthy32 and @Mrs_McCarthy32.
