Sparkman?



Man, the Marvel movies are really watering down the profile of the heroes they're rolling out these days.

[G-Fafif]

Panik. Triple. All the verbs.

[Guest 41Forever]

Wow. That was a bomb by Conforto. 452 feet.

[bmfc1]

Do you think the people in that box expected to get a ball hit to them?

[G-Fafif]

Yost thinking about replacing Sparkman with Kefauver.

Gary Apple comes clean about his Woodstock goof.

[Edgy MD]

Gary Apple correcting his Santana/Hendrix flub.



Keith telling the story of Santana's set, hopefully won't mention Carlos being totally dosed on acid.

[G-Fafif]

Estes Kefauver was of course named for Shawn Estes, who once homered off Samuel Langhorne Clemens, better known as the Rocket Man, or Elton John, today most famous for the elbow surgery that bears his name.



That's according to Gary Apple.

Now Keef is calling Buck O'Neil "Buck Owens," but at least he caught himself after a few beats.

Oops. Was able to visit the museum once and met Buck there. Such a nice man.



Meanwhile, this is starting to look scary.

[Edgy MD]

Looking slobby here as the Royals are on the verge of tying or better with the bases loaded and nobiddy out.

[Guest 41Forever]

Rats.

[Edgy MD]

There's a five-year-old or so rocking a LET'S GO METS placard behind home plate.

[Guest 41Forever]

Not thrilled with the idea of the bully taking four innings here.

Kid's set up for a lifetime of pain.

[bmfc1]

A big last 3 innings coming up here. Not that you'd know from the car conversation on SNY.

[Edgy MD]

Won't be able to pinch-hit for Nido — who is hitting nothing right now — without losing the DH.

[Guest 41Forever]

Nice hustle by Todd to get to second on that.

[Guest 41Forever]

And freaking Lagares needs to work on bunting.



OE: He did better on the second pitch and got the job done.

[Frayed Knot]

A rare successful bunt by Lagares and I STILL wish he hadn't done it.

Good point. Another reason to add Rene (24 HRs) Rivera and go with one fewer RP.

[Edgy MD]

Is Tejada going to play left now that Altherr is out of the game?

[Guest 41Forever]

JD gets it done!

[Guest 41Forever]

Nido disputes the assertion he's not hitting.
