It looks like what should be left field at Butterball Field. And then what's the dirt field in the far background? The dirt right behind Kingman is throwing me off. The dirt is all one body of dirt that is known as "The Infield Dirt @ Butterball Field". 2nd to 3rd base right behind him. That strip coming out of his shirt sleeve is 1st to 2nd. Further back, right field foul line along fence.That's either the batters black eye tarp behind Kong or one of those giant worms from DUNE. They had some ratty grass lookin' down there.
  2. Priceless. But make one of these to go along with it Topps. please?
  3. I'll miss the kid from Whitestone. *closes the book on him*
  4. Tiggers tie the series, 2-2.
  5. Or maybe I was right....3-2 Blue.
  6. Or it might not be. I missed all that scoring. Gah. Beltraan? 2-2.
  7. When a pitcher drives in a run, it might be his day. LA up 2-0 after 2.
  8. You gotta believe when Ozzie Smith ordered his hat he said :"AfroSIZE-IT!"
  9. From here: http://inskidaoustandslow.com/2.html This is simply brilliant.

  12. That's life Puig. Get used to it.
  13. I'm becoming in favor of a rule change where the manager/pitching coach gets one free visit to the mound per game and then each successive trip to the mound requires a pitching change. As it is now the bench is allowed one trip per inning which, under current conditions, can mean 8-10 trips per game as each reliever used gets two visits: one for strategy/stalling and one for removal. I realize that this would probably just result in increased visits to the mound by catchers instead whenever they wanted to stall, but it would at least be a start. My alternative idea is a sniper on the roof picking off relievers who refuse to throw more than one pitch per minute. Marmol would have been mortally wounded about seven batters ago. I thought the rule was a pitcher had 20 seconds.

  15. So nine months after your birthday, you're an old 22. PINTO BURNS EM!

  17. This isn't up here yet?
  18. Jeez, another homer off the top of an outfield wall. That walls got a really thick top there.
  19. Nothing like a double play when you need it. Seeing Mattingly- I forgot he never got to the big show. It be nice if he does as a manager.
  20. I could make a whole set of cards of just Mets at the spot.
