ESPN has a nice feature on historical footnote Mike Bascik, pitching for the Nats AAA affiliate in Columbus.

Yet another walk from O.P. That's 6 through 4 2/3 innings. I think this will be his last inning -- he's up near 100 pitches and clearly doesn't have his good stuff.

Yeah, an offense that's gotten you two hits through five doesn't inspire a lot of confidence. Two damn hits.

:sigh: Another BB for Ollie.

Meanwhile, Marlon Anderson came up lame running up the first base line. Looks like a hamstring problem. Shades of Endy Chavez. Jay Payton for that matter. OF's dropping like flies this week.

The broadcast crew mentioned that Omar has made the trip to Colorado though he had not originally planned to come. When asked if Omar would confirm that Willie was in "no imminent danger," Omar replied only that Willie had their support. The saga continues.

Castillo gets a bloop single, in front of the already drawn-in outfield, and Endy comes in to make it 2-1. Now first and second (Reyes) with 1 out for Sugarpants.

Endy beats out an infield single. Reynolds now walks Ollie. It'd be nice to see the top of the order show up at the dish here.

Bill Bixby and/or Lou Ferrigno.

I forget who said it, from Tom Boswell's article on the Yankees-Red Sox playoff "They won't play that well again as long as they have assholes." Who are the players without assholes? I don't even know what that means.

I'd say we need exactly one more new thread on that subject, pending a certain event not to be named but only thought of hopefully.

What a shitty god awful mess of a week that was. I had the damn Ted.

I thought of that too... a simultaneous double-neck-punch a la the ending of Rocky III with Apollo and Rocky hitting each other and then the picture turning into a painting as a backdrop for the credits.

I always root for Barry when he races against the Presidents at Nationals games. Oh wait, what?

Paul Lukas and Richard Grossinger are dumb fucking ****s. I'd like to see them simultaneously killed in a staged gay ritual double suicide, a la the football players in "Heathers."

Martinez already had landed in Atlanta when he got the phone call that told him about his father. He immediately hopped a flight to the Dominican. How this will impact Martinez's rehab schedule is uncertain. Martinez, who has been on the DL since April 2 with a left hamstring strain, was supposed to pitch a side session today for manager Willie Randolph, pitching coach Rick Peterson and bullpen coach Guy Conti, his close friend and guru. If that went smoothly, Martinez was likely to make a rehab start for Class A St. Lucie on Saturday and then possibly be slotted in as early as Thursday against the Dodgers. But with his dad's latest setback, it's difficult to predict how much this will delay Martinez, who may be at his father's bedside indefinitely. At the moment, it looks like he won't be back in the rotation for next week's homestand Best wishes to Petey's dad and the Martinez family.
