    "It was fairly poetic, I thought." R.A. on beating Buck Showalter's team, since Showalter urged him to become a full-time knuckleballer and then, essentially, told him to take a hike as Texas manager six years ago after R.A. had a historically bad start against Detroit.

    2nd in NL East, 4 GB WSH. 1st for 2nd NL WC, 1/2 GA ATL. And a big four games over .500.

    Changes from 40th (fan vote) to 50th (panel): SS -- Buddy to Jose 3B -- HoJo to David OF -- Mookie and Lenny out, Cleon and Carlos in LHRP -- Franco to Tug MGR -- Gil to Davey Also 40th team included Rusty and Krane as PHs.

Was it the 40th anniversary fan-vote team that had Dykstra out in LF rather then Jones? Clearly favorites play largely into these things. Yup. The OF was selected ASG style w/o regard for positions.

    11 of the 13 choices seem, per non-voting committee member Mona Lisa Vito in My Cousin Vinny, dead-on balls accurate, Tug in particular being an inspired choice given what relief pitching necessitated in his day versus Franco's. McDowell had less upside than Benitez but way less downside. I'd probably grade on upside alone, but I'm not going to argue too vociferously against a world champion whose 5 IP made that World Series occur (or for the occasionally underestimated Benitez, whose late-inning implosions retain their pungency nine years since he left). Davey deserves Most Successful Manager honors. Gil, though...I was in on a small gaggle talking to Cleon Jones Friday night and to paraphrase Joe Biden as regarded Rudy Giuliani in 2008, every sentence was a noun, a verb and "Gil Hodges," which seemed to reflect everything you've ever heard anybody who played for him say of him. I'm wildly pro-Davey as a rule (even in a bleeping Nationals warmup jacket)...but geez...Gil...y'know?
