  1. Hijacker.
  2. I'm wondering if LaTroy Hawkins is some sort of Trojan Horse. And when the team gets back inside CitiField, a whole bunch of tiny Phillies are gonna climb out and wreck the place.
  3. Thems was some pretty awful conditions to finish a ballgame in.
  4. That wasn't a bad pitch Duda hit.
  5. Adams gets a goofy call for a strike there to Buck.
  6. LaTroy looking like a guy ready to get lacut.
  7. Second batter today to be held to a single by Baxter after a drive to/off the wall. I used to think that sort of indignity was reserved for Rusty
  8. Valdy likes comin' in on the ball.
  9. Both good guesses. Incorrect. Not a Met.
  10. I was thinking of making a comeback until I pulled a muscle vacuuming. Who said it?
  11. Stats won't get knocked off the board.
  12. They're stopping the game. Din bin Laden die again?
  13. Not an impressive route, but a great effort by Valdespin keeps the Mets in the game.
  14. The thing is that Olerud or Hrbek refined their games until, for a while at least, they were excellent to near perfect at everything a firstbaseman was supposed to do. But Keith --- and perhaps this speaks to the mental restlessness that he displays in the booth --- insisted on finding a way to do things a firstbaseman wasn't supposed to do.
  15. I may have to beg you to give me until this eve on one or two of those Fishgames.
  16. The Phillies didn't put near so much thought into theirs.

  17. Lookit that aesthetically perfect lineup. Starts with a long name like "Jordany Valdespin," regresses incremenatally down to "Ike Davis," and then progresses incrementally back up toward "Jeremy Hefner." We can't lose.
  18. Lookit them hats littered on the Riverfront astroturf like dead crows.
  19. Yeah, that was gorgeous. Points to Carter for staying home from the top, stretching like a firstbaseman, and seeing the play he still had at first. Nice stretch by Teufel at the end. Twenty-five years later, it's still a play only Keith makes.
  20. Best part about fights is the glorious challenge of guys playing out of position after the ejections are all tallied: [youtube:2te8om12]cU-5le51RhE[/youtube:2te8om12]
  21. Sure, but switching from impact at the major league level to major impact is shifting goal posts.
  22. The 1971 Pirates also featured a well-past-his-prime Bill Mazeroski, sharing secondbase at this point with the riper Cash and Stennett. Maz would transition directly from playing onto Bill Virdon's coaching staff, before realizing that, to the team's consternation, while he could teach some things, he couldn't teach anybody how to turn the doubleplay like he could. It seemed for a while that a disproportionate number of the best hitters in the seventies were either Pirates, Giants, or players that came out of one of those two systems. They seemed to have access to scouting networks for outfielders both domestic and foreign that nobody else had. Those teams were so stacked that a lot of excellent talents --- George Foster, Dave Kingman, Richie Hebner, Richie Zisk --- had to take their bats elsewhere to show what they could really do.
  23. Well, there's Wuilmer Becerra. And Wilmer Flores if he lands there. Possibly den Dekker if he develops the stick to stick.
  24. Yeah, and for all those cons. Most of them were after-the-fact. Waddayagonnado?
