In John Perotto's most recent Every Given Sunday column at BP, he quotes Doug Davis saying this after facing the A's Dana Eveland in a spring training game: "That doesn't help my WHIP. The walks, I hate them. It's kind of typical Doug Davis, I guess you could say. At the same time, I want to reverse that, especially when my young padawan on the other side is out there throwing strikes."

Yes, that's right, Doug Davis just called Dana Eveland his padawan. Doug Davis is a huge geek. That's awesome.
