I'm feeling a sweep, two solid wins and sloppy/lucky one on Wednesday afternoon. Bill and his brooms or bust! No pressure. #lgm #ygb #ymdyf

He had an eye for the woman folk too! I was flipping through the picture section of Baseball Forever and there's a shot of him escorting 17 year old Liz Taylor to a movie premier event.

Because he was Ralph Kiner. It was institutional bits like this, among other fun digressions, that made me think he wasn't a hopeless cause despite his struggle to pick up the action off of the monitor. I kinda knew Ralph served in The Big One but didn't realize he was a Navy pilot. If I did once know that, it's buried in that over-fragmented section of my brain's hard drive. I'm in serious need of a defrag! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_KinerFrom his Wiki-page: Kiner served as a United States Navy pilot during World War II. Kiner was inducted into the Navy during the spring of 1943. As a cadet, he attended St. Mary's Pre-Flight School in California and earned his pilot's wings and commission at Corpus Christi, Texas, in December 1944. Kiner flew PBM Mariner flying boats on submarine patrols from Kaneohe Bay Naval Air Station in Hawaii, accumulating 1,200 flying hours. Kiner enlisted the day after Pearl Harbor

But if you have 4-1 record or something when taking over after your boss gets ejected, hey, that's a sweet little cherry for a résumé. I dunno. "I see you put down four wins as fill-in as bench coach managing the remainder of a game. What did you do in those four games that stands out resume-wise?" "Yeah, I, uh... we won four of five." Hey, he's the one who sent up Travis Blankenhorn. If he's too stupid to remember doing that and why he did it, shame on him. He doesn't deserve to get hired. I figure, if it's a fiction that managers are actually removed from the game, and we're supposed to pretend that there's nobody behind the curtain, I say bullshit, play that fiction out. It's only when it becomes unsustainable that it'll fall. I think, in most Euro fooball leagues, a manager/head coach gets tossed from the game, he or she ends up sitting in the stands. Rube Walker went 2-2 down the stretch for the Mets in 1968 as Gil Hodges recovered from his first heart attack. I'd love to see that on his record. But even better is Don Zimmer. Zim officially won 885 games as an MLB manager. But those 21 games the Yankees won with him holding the lineup card would have put him over 900 wins. Maybe that's the difference-maker the next time he's considered for the Hall of Fame (which assumes there will be a next time, which itself assumes there ever was a first time, but work with me). Zim not only would get his win total boosted over 900, but he'd pass Cito Gaston on the All-Time List. Maybe this isn't about Zim at all. Maybe the next time somebody says, "You know, Cito Gaston won two World Series titles, and anybody with two trophies should get consideration for the Hall of Fame," somebody else comes back and says, "Good for him, but overall, he won fewer games games than Don Zimmer." And maybe the first guy says, "Yeah, let's not get crazy." Always working for more clarity in the record, and shaving away ambiguity, reveals new truths. Uh, a) Sorry. Sorry? c) Sorry! (choose one of the above)

No joy in Pittsburgh as Metsies leave 'em loaded in the top o' the first.. Maybe I'll go out and dry the grass.

I went to sleep at 6-sniffle. I checked my DVR this morning to pick up where I left off and recording ended with that score. (note to self, add another 90 minutes to this re- curring recording). When I saw they lost my jaw dropped. I guess I've been spared having not witnessed the meltdown live or on tape so there's that for me.

I'll take July 28th.

Are we not men? We are Difo!

That has to be the quickest call for the tarp in quite some time.

That's heartless, man! (j/k, lol) He was fun while it lasted.

He had a long run in BAL, his google stuff says 'was' an Orioles guy so...

Holy crap! Gary Thorne!

PIT afraid to post a lineup on Gameday, or Gameday is broken...
