Anyone remember the story of Herzog’s response to a post game presser when asked about a pivotal 6th inning play in which the slightly corpulent Dave LaPoint dropped Keith Hernandez’ perfect underhand toss to a covering LaPoint at 1B on an easy out ground ball to the right side of the IF in the 7th inning of the 5th game of the ’82 WS at Milwaukee Co. Stadium? That error opened the floodgates for the Brewers to score 6 runs and win the game after they had trailed 5-1. When asked about the play, Herzog said, “If it’d been a cheesburger, he’d have caught it.”
Announcers used to say stuff they couldn’t say these days. It’s probably for the best Shannon isn’t behind a mic anymore.
I’d say so, Bling. I’d venture a guess that a benign phrase like, ‘holy cow’ might bring some heat these days. Heck, in Cleveland you can’t even be a smiling Indian anymomre. That’s too bad.
Worrying about that is pretty far down my bucket list, I doubt I’ll get to it.
I’m liking Noot and Donovan at the top of the order. Maybe they will do better than the touts.
Bling…Yeah, that’s a tough break regarding the tree limb on your cable line. I’m being entertained watching the two big RHP’s work their craft, but I wouldn’t at all mind seeing several runs hung up on the board as long as it’s by the good guys. AW looks as good as I’ve sen him all season and the other guy is by no means an easy sale. We’ll see what happens, Bling. Hope you get your cable straightened out.
GO REDBIRDS!
If he had to give up the no-hitter, at least it was on a clean single by a good player, McCutchen. Sad that he isn’t still a Pirate…
Hey Bling, is gamecast similar to what they call gameday on the MLB.com website?
Yeah, its ESPN’s version
Cable is coming Tuesday afternoon, supposedly.
Bling…Oh, okay. I wasn’t sure. I sometimes use gameday on MLB while I’m watching to see other scores, check pitch counts etc. It’s pretty handy, but if my cable were down, I’d be over at my son’s house a couple of miles away. Hope yours gets lined out.
Wainwright looks like he’s losing steam in the 9th even though he had retired the 1st two batters. What a night for him. Marmol came out to talk to him before McCutchen’s AB. Edmonds with a funny line about Marmol on his visit to the mound – “Hey what are you doing out here?” – after Yadi and Adam barely recognized his presence. Cutch flies out to end the inning.
Is Wainwright retiring at the end of this year? Anybody taking that bet? I’m not.
