I woke up in like this morning (uniterrupted)

[Elster88]

For actual discussion on Paul LoDuca, spun off from the first thread.

(EDIT: Un-fucking-believable. 6 out of 33 actual posts on Lo Duca. 'Course, I'm as guilty as anyone in that respect.)

Dickshot:
I like Paul LoDuca.

He shouldnta dropped the ball but did everything else right. Deception is perfectly acceptable in baseball, and the real screwup on that play was sending Sorryanus in the first place (not to mention Royce Clayton failing to remove the bat from the basepath).

LoDuca: He's one of us.

Sharpie:
I've always been in Lo Duca's corner. Born in Brooklyn with a Brooklyn kind of name (even though he moved to Arizona when he was like, 2), what's not to like? He's not Mike Piazza, but I liked him better than the alternatives in Hernandez and Molina.


Metirish:
No doubt that Lo Duca will become a fan fave, in the papers this morning he's getting described as "gritty and hard nosed",a " do all it takes to win" kinda player, and he's honest...on the Soriano play he said this..

]"I'll be honest, I think Soriano's a real good player but with a chance to be second-and-third and no outs, you've got to know that's not a good play,"

Edgy
Paciorek couldn't say enough about how foolish the head-first slide was there. He comes in with his spikes and the ball winds up in Bloomberg's lap.


Frayed Knot
LoDuca to have a weekly spot on Joe Badabingo's show; Tuesdays at noon starting today.

how cool is that?

It's great to have a good defensive catcher, isn;t it? I like Lo Duca too.

For the record, I thought that was a pretty awsum deek he pulled there on that play at the plate.

I didnt realize that the 1st base ump had to come in to make that call till I read it in todays paper.

This is an interesting thread, thanks Elster, I work with a few guys from India, one of course is a yankee fan, this morning we talked about the Lo Duca deek and he brought up an interesting point, at least it was to him, as a huge Cricket fan he said that if a Cricket player did what Lo Duca did it would be considered cheating, that the Commish would envoke the " spirit of the game " rule and that Lo Duca and the Mets would get punished and lose that game.....I know that means nothing here but it was an interesting take on Cultures and games.

i'm sorry. these things eat at my soul.

it's "deke" not "deek"

carry on with your lives uninterruptedly.

Sorry I spelled it wrong.......

Woke up this morning with a wine glass in my hand
Whose wine, what wine, where the hell did I dine?
Must have been a dream I don’t believe where I’ve been
Come on - lets do it again
Do you, you feel like I do?
Do you, you feel like I do?

Woke up this morning
Got yourself a gun
Mama always said you�d be
The Chosen One.

She said: You�re one in a million
You�ve got to burn to shine
But you were born under a bad sign
With a blue moon in your eyes.

You woke up this morning
All the love has gone
Your Papa never told you
About right and wrong.

But you�re looking good, baby,
I believe you�re feeling fine,(shame about it),
Born under a bad sign
With a blue moon in your eyes.

Woke up this morning
Got a blue moon in your eyes
(So sad Goddamn,Goddamn shame about it)
Woke up this morning
Got a blue moon in your eyes

You woke up this morning
The world turned upside down,
Thing�s ain�t been the same
Since the Blues walked into town.
