Can we trade him while his value is high?

Joe Douchhe.

Vin Scully recalls some his greatest baseball calls. This article saves the best for last.

Not watching, but really wondering what makes Lunchy jizz but Fairy grumble.

Good job. I was worried that the whole thing would be in Latin, but I could understand all of that.

The AL and NL really don't exist anymore as practical entities. I still maintain that any realignment should be done regionally as I outlined earlier in the thread.

"Their blood has wiped out their foul footstep's pollution" is kind of Tolkien-esque. I wonder if Francis Scott Key cribbed from his unpublished fantasy novel manuscript.

I can't wait to hear you belt out "Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes" and "Their blood has wiped out their foul footstep's pollution."

I think the most patriotic baseball organization will insist on singing all four verses of "The Star Spangled Banner." Every inning. Oh, say can you see, by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep, Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes, What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep, As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses? Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam, In full glory reflected now shines on the stream: 'Tis the star-spangled banner! O long may it wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. And where is that band who so vauntingly swore That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion A home and a country should leave us no more? Their blood has wiped out their foul footstep's pollution. No refuge could save the hireling and slave From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave: And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand Between their loved homes and the war's desolation! Blest with victory and peace, may the heaven-rescued land Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation. Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, And this be our motto: "In God is our trust." And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

I wanna say the Mets have faced Hererra before (edit: yeah, he's pitched against 'em. Why I remember shit like this and not birthdays of loved ones is pretty fucking stupid). He was kinda heralded coming out of New Mexico, for a lolly pop kid. Wait, does this mean the Mets have their first New Mexican?

New Mexico.

That gives new meaning to Pennsyltucky. This thread should really be in the baseball forum.

The Great Chism!

I like the old Sheffield Ron Hodges photo better but it seems to have been expunged from the internet.
