Conversation gold:
Driver: Mercifully quiet, earning his extra tip
Chief: There aren't any starters on this team.
Cat: We used to have a scary team.
Chief: Yeah, five years ago.
Cat: You mean six years ago.
Chief: No, five.
Cat: We got married six years ago. That was a good team.
Chief: No, in 2001 we saw Barry break a record and that team lose the wildcard. We watched Estes and Ortiz walk everyone.
Cat: Oh, right, all those fat pitchers. The next year was better.
Chief: I know.
