Kaz and Kevin's common bond

One of the newest Astros, second baseman Kaz Matsui will miss two weeks this spring as he undergoes a surgical procedure you can read about here.

As I was reading that story, I couldn't stop thinking about the episode from the first season of The Office (American version) entitled "Health Care," where Dwight was tasked with selecting the office's new health benefits plan. When reviewing a list of ailments that were to be covered under the new plan, Kevin the accountant confirmed that Kaz's condition is a truly a real one.
Dwight: Who wrote this, this hysterical one? Anal fissures.

Kevin: That's a real thing


Dwight: Yeah, but no one here has it


Kevin: (under his breath) Someone has it

Yes Kevin, someone surely does have it. Between this, a pending indictment for our new shortstop and the brilliant pitching we've had thus far in the spring, it's shaping up to be quite a battle for fourth place between us and the Reds.
