But if I'm the opposing pitcher I'm driving the bus to the ballpark to make sure they get there safely.

Also, it's only a 2-0 lead, with a guy who's had 8 no-decisions in his last 10 starts while pitching brilliantly. Terry didn't trust the bullpen last night and it cost him. If he DOES trust the bullpen, it could cost him, too. High Anxiety indeed.
A Call to Arms: It's the Harvey Day IGT: 6/18/2014 Is this IGT really taking place in 2014? Does this mean I can skip the rest of the 2013 season? Inquiring minds wanna know.
Four years ago, actually. 6/12/09. Seems like 3 years because the pain is still fresh. I was in Hong Kong on business; in the back of a taxi on Saturday morning, frantically refreshing GameDay on my Blackberry and wondering why it had frozen up on me just as the game was ending. When it finally displayed the play, I let out a stream of curses that had the driver thinking I wanted him to pull over. I've never actually seen the video of the play. Whenever it comes on I just hide.

Because if it's major-league homers there's no way he's hitting more than 30, which is about how long I'd expect he'll be a ward of the State of Nevada.
Marlins are playing young kids who should probably be in the minors, and are letting them take their lumps at the major league level. And they've been kicking Mets ass while doing it.
