I'll go first

“Darn Sweet Drew, I don’t remember, 3 or 4 women at least. I had a few too many Schlitzes and was getting a lot of fumes from all the mustache max I put on…”

Aw! I wanted to see what happens next!

I’m starting to suspect Sweet Drew may be a firebug.

My first post here... be gentle

Drew: “Hey, Gardy says Mauer is getting ready to pinch hit for me.”

Pavano: “Oh hell no, I was planning on going 2 or 3 more innings.”

My wife

Picked Drew Butera in our fantasy baseball league just so she could say she had “Sweet Drew” on her team.

If she beats you

You won’t ever, ever hear the end of that.

Well

She does have Mauer as her starting catcher…so I’m pretty sure Sweet Drew will be on the bench as more of a mascot / wasted roster space.

At Spring Training

We kept cheering for ‘Sweet Drew’. All the old people by us kept giving us strange looks.

Calling him Sweet Drew has just become such a natural response for me that I forget it’s not his given name.

by Brady Eyestone on Mar 29, 2011 12:46 AM EDT reply actions

Yeah, I was watching a game with a couple friends this weekend and called him Sweet Drew.

They looked at me like I was insane.

Someone needs to come up with a way to get the actual Sweet Drew's take on these

by twinscrazy_german on Mar 29, 2011 4:57 AM EDT reply actions

He's got over 2800 followers on Twitter.

He’s probably heard already. Just like Jim Thome seems nothing like JIMMERS, Butera doesn’t come across like Sweet Drew at all.

Stachey: Sweet Drew, I seen Mauer lubing up his knee for Friday. We gotta to get this figured out quick. How’re we gonna get yer bag of lighters and oily rags through customs in Toronto?
Sweet Drew: Them damn maple-heads up there take everything so serious like.
Stachey: S’pose we tell ‘em its equipment for sharpening our skates. Soon as they hear hockey they look the other way.

In Sweet Drew's defense fire is pretty like in this picture
