I've found that most women have more fun with large sample sizes.

He looks like a damned reincarnated zombie. He's got more spots than a maxipad.

Ugh, sloppy work there by Fingerbang and Shlutz.

Even Fingerbang McGoo getting in on the RBI express train.

Keep em comin, boys! Is Mike Nickeas allowed to drive in runs?

And Zach gets his first major league hit. I'm sure Zach's Slutz are very happy right now.

Duda! Pile it on, boys. It's the soft underbelly of the Rockies bullpen.

Fuck yeah! Nice 3B there by Hairston. Fowler tried to bring it in but he's no Nieweuneiheisss out there.

Is anyone else distracted by this twitching thing Schwinny does with the ball in his mitt, before he delivers the pitch? It looks like he's fingerbanging his glove.

KABOOMIE

Scott Hairston, way to get hit by the ball dingus.

Man chases man-pig hybrid, acrobatically.

Hey, Chris, I don't know if you've been watching, but Mets starting pitchers are supposed to be good this year. So try to, you know, suck less. Kthanxbye.

Props to Wright in the top half there, staying in the rundown long enough for Newey to score from 3rd. Rockies D' continues to not impress. In other news, Schwinden leads off by giving up a 3B.

I'm done with the daguerrotype if anyone else needs it. Seriously, you are a wordsmith, sir. I admire your handiwork. By the way, I conflate Rex Brothers with the Avett Brothers.

While it's not a recent passing, I found out yesterday that a coworker and friend of mine is the great grandson of a former major leaguer. A guy who played with Honus Wagner, Three Finger Brown, Zach Wheat and others, no less. Pretty frickin cool.

The kid should be happy his dad didn't plummet to his death like that guy in Arlington did last year.

My Saturday morning is a bit booked (a group run, Fboy's karate lessons, Little League etc.), I am more likely to just get up and watch the highlights on ESPN/MLB's web sites.

That happened to us last year at the spring training Mets/Nats tilt we took in at Melbourne. Only problem was, they gave Fgirl a ball and not Fboy. Luckily I had a couple of minor league foul balls at home and was able to give one of those to him instead.

Gary and Keith gave props to Omar too, on the broadcast yesterday. Well deserved, the guy has an eye for young talent it would appear.

Oh no I just shat in my old guy diapers. Nurse?!? OH NURSE??

Ugh, the 8:40 first pitch makes it unlikely that I will still be awake when the game ends. Staying up that late is for crazy teenagers and what not, I like to drink my postum and go to bed to the soothing broadcasts of Mr. Paul Harvey. If someone can stay up and tell me who was on the Jack Paar show I would appreciate it.

Edgy DC wrote: So, you're Heath Bell. You have David Wright on second with one out after you've just got Lucas Duda on a groundout. Ike Davis is up. On the one hand, Davis is slumping as much as anybody on earth. On the other, he's historically a dangerous hitter and a threat to hit a two-run homer to win it. On the one hand, you just got Duda, another lefthanded slugger, on a meek grounder. On the other, Davis has the type of loop to his swing that can get under your sinker. On the one hand, you can set up the double play by putting Davis on. On the other, you'd be bringing up Josh Thole, who nobody is getting out. Not with any regularity. On the one hand, the book says to not put the winning run on base intentionally. On the other hand, the book also says to play for the win on the road and the tie at home, which suggests that you don't worry about the winning run, but worry about keeping that runner on second, and to keep him from scoring. Heath Bell is some kind of octopus then?
