Sigh.

Wow. Just unreal. Heilman serves up another big tater and it's 6-5. And I just barfed in my mouth. Time to try one of the other pitchers. God, Jerry, please.

One out. First and third. No real chance to get the runner at 1st on that one. I'd like to see them get the DP here and put this one to bed.

Well that sucked.

That kid can hit! And the Pads are kind enough to kick the ball around and a run comes in to boot.

So far we're not getting any help as the Marlins and Phils are both winning big.

It's a moot point. Griff is still scared of NYC after Steinbrenner yelled at him when he was a toddler. "Quit playing with Thurman Munson's jock strap!" He'd surely have exercised his 10-5 veto.

AG/DC wrote: In other fairness, Pelfrey's listing the re-introduction of the curveball as a peripheral factor in his improvement. Hard to say what he means by major. I'd guess he means no elbows going pop, but I won't, because Zambrano's actually exploded on the mound. Perhaps he means pitchers in the development pipeline, but didn't Humber get knocked out on his watch? I was at the game that VZ's elbow went pfffft. It was odd, too, because he got a strikeout (of Andruw Jones, IIRC) and then darted off the mound. My wife and I theorized that he was suffering from "intestinal distress" and was making a beeline for the toilet.

="AG/DC"]In the vastly over-rated A Prayer for Owen Meany, the narrator's mother is killed as a passive spectator of a youth league baseball game. With two outs in the last inning and his team down by a large margin a player with the same last name as me works a walk. Owen, an undersized and overmatched athlete ,comes up to bat and breaks with precedent by hitting a hard foul ball, the ball that hits and kills the mother. The narrator, in a mystical way I'm supposed to understand but don't, maintains a lifelong animus for the character who "takes" the walk (seeing him as somehow unmanly), but retains his lifelong friendship with Owen, who --- while still innocent --- is at least the inadvertant agent of Mom's demise. The narrator's hostility to my namesake continues right up to him snarking about the guy who "takes" a walk dying in Vietnam. Haven't read John Irving since. I found large parts of that book to be trite. It's not his best work. I did enjoy, among other books of his, the more recent A Widow For One Year and Until I Find You.
