Does Gary have something against Cincinnati? ,he likes to rag on them


Mostly he just rags on the city's 'signature' dish: Skyline Chili



I remember reading something on chili a bunch of years ago. It traced how it evolved in this section of the country and then it that one, etc.

But then, for whatever reason, chili evolution took some weird left hand turn and is unlike anywhere else. Skyline os the brand/restaurant

that helped make it popular. Some love it, others not so much. And if you think Gary is down on Skyline , turn on the radio and listen to Howie

rant away some time.

The guy is pitching in the ninth inning with a one-run lead, and the bases are loaded mostly of his own making ... and the guy changes his shoes!



That's insane!



Other sports may have more action, more speed, more violence, but no sport brings the drama like baseball. That's some David Mamet shit right there.

That was such a huge game. I can't believe how close that was to a loss. Two balls that just went foul. That first strikeout in the ninth. The Acuna play.



Luck was on our side tonight.

Watching the replay of the final out, a diving Pete Alonso came realclose to tipping that ball which, had he done so, would have deflected the ball into RCF and easily have ended the game the other way. And even if he gloves it I don't think he gets the out at 1st so it's a tie game at best. It's tough to tell Pete not to go for that ball, especially since he's probably not yet used to Acuna's added range so didn't instinctively think the better play was maybe just to retreat to 1st base.

"One out in the ninth and the bases are loaded. Diaz is really going to have to dig back if he's going to ... what is going on out there, Ron?!"



"Diaz is painting his nails."



"What?!"



"I shit you not. I've never seen anything like th ... is he blowing on them, Keith?!"



"Well, they've got to be dry."

One last thing, the pen tonight: 3-2/3, 0 runs, 2 singles (one on the infield), 3 BB, & 7 Ks, all in relief of Peterson who had nearly blown leads of 4-0 & 5-1 and allowed two of the first three hitters to reach in the 6th.

iow, probably not a good time to be calling Mendoza a pinhead for his mound management tonight.
