Quickly yet rapidly
From today's LA Times:
Jarrod Washburn is recovering "slowly but gradually" from the upper-back and neck spasms that forced him out of Sunday's game against Houston after only two innings, but the left-hander said he "fully expects" to make Friday's start against the Dodgers.
I hope that I don't have to point out to you that the definition of the word "gradually" is "slowly." The quote isn't attributed to anyone, but I assume it's from either Washburn himself or one of the Angel's coaching staff. Whoever it was, they need to be introduced to the concept of a thesaurus.
