On Sunglasses

G: Rollins batting right-handed for the first time today. And he's ditched the shades! Now wait a second -- it's still sunny out there, he had the reflector glasses on his first four at-bats, and now he's gone shadeless.

R: It's like sponsors, you only have to have them on for seven innings, Jimmy Rollins. After that he can do whatever he wants.

G: Like a NASCAR driver, right?

R: That's right.

K: Or like in Lawrence of Arabia when they cross the desert and they said "the sun's off the anvil", which is directly overhead. So it's more of a angle in.

G: You floor me, with your references. 1-2 to Rollins.

K: You remember when cross the desert to the Aqaba, when they attack the Sicilian Aqaba, and they went across the desert. And Omar Sharif said "We have to point X before the sun hits the anvil." I'll never forget that line.

G: Wow. Well that certainly explains why Jimmy's not wearing the sunglasses.

K: I like that. "Sun's off the anvil!"
