Investimagative Reportering

In my last post, I wrote about Darren Oliver and the stellar season he is having at age 41, and how his numbers are trending in the right direction. It got me thinking, why? There must be a reason why he is doing such incredible things. What is his secret? After some (read: barely any) research (read: twitter search) I think I may have found him out.

Dude loves PF Chang's.

@pfchangscanada would love to get involved! My family and I love PF Changs! Would be cool to get some blue jay fans out there!!!

He's networking to get them off the ground in Toronto:

@pfchangs send a DM to @tlamarketing and get them info for you international partner that runs the Toronto place? They got some great ideas!

Even his kids are in on the action:

my kids are all excited that @pfchangs is opening a new place in Toronto!! Between that and my favorite restaurant anywhere, we're all set!!

He is Juan Ponce de León, and PF Chang's is his fountain of youth:

Four tweets are not enough to prove that the magic is in the mu shu chicken? In 2003 with Colorado, he posted a WAR of 2.9 with the closest PF Chang's half a mile away from the stadium. With the Mets in 2006, he put up a goose-egg: 0.0 WAR. The closest PF Chang's? 11.3 miles away. He had to cross the island of Manhattan to get his Ginger Chicken with Broccoli on.

And with that, please enjoy the rest of your day while I get blocked by Darren Oliver on twitter for dragging his name through the hoisin sauce.
