This only adds to his appeal for me. Give him a Fu Manchu and a sense of humor and continued effectiveness, and I'm in love.

Leavin' him in to face Diaz. Geren's call or Terry working from an undisclosed location?

Are my eyes deceiving me, or was Thole setting up, like, a foot outside the strike zone for Diaz?

It's all in the lesson. Teach him to pitch pathetically around a guy and eventually he'll work his way up to a more subtle pitcharound.

I'm jumping on the Edgin bandwagon. Does he have a bandwagon?

[Zvon]

Edgin Ks the side. Sweet!!

Tejada is better for the money...Reyes is a slacking bum.

It better have some springs.

Does now! He'd be great with Street.

Terry called from Applebees.

[Edgy MD]

Fuck Huston Street!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

TRADE TERRY FOR STREET

It does have some HUGE back wheels.

Particularly between Varick and Washington.

So... from a look at the crowd, I'm guessing that today was Popped-Polo-Collar/Titleist-Visor giveaway day at Turner?

[batmagadanleadoff]

On that Valdespin catch/trap fiasco, I don't know what the rule is, but maybe the lead runner Prado had the right to rely on the botched "out" call. If so, then Prado rightfully believed that he was obligated to return to first base, and couldn't stop on second base. It's not fair to require Prado to determine which of two irreconcilable and simultaneous calls is the right one. Maybe Prado never even saw the "fair ball" call.

I always forget how much I hate the tomahawk chop until I hear it again.

[Edgy MD]

Yup to the tomahawk chop.

Also, how is every booth of every team on the road the "Peeless Boilers Broadcast Booth"?

The plaque is magnetic, rather than affixed with a permanent adhesive.

Torres looks like the best hitter on this team except when he doesn't.

Hardball Talk already has an article on the controversial calls:

Deadspin has one, too:

It should be the "Bob Murphy Broadcast Booth, brought to you by Peerless Boilers."

Don't you disappear again, Swannie.

Seems obvious, doesn't it? And it would probably be a better association for Peerless.

[bmfc1]

Good point, Edgy. Instead of being annoyed or ignoring the mention, we'd think nice thoughts of Bob Murphy and Peerless would benefit.

BTW, it's "Peerless"--your wrote "Peeless." That's an entirely different product.

[Zvon]

What an at bat by Tejada. What a good piece of hitting. That's a big run.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Tejada's Alfonzoness only gets stronger in the late innings, doesn't it?

Send Varvaro to the glue factory, 'Spin.
