Not that it matters now, but did it look to anyone else like Dickerson’s first step was in when it should have been to his right on Renfoe’s triple? Neither McLaughlin or Edmonds mentioned anything, so maybe I simply saw it wrong.
Euro…Me either. Needs 8 winning decisions to reach the 200 W plateau, so I’d say there’s a decent chance he’ll show up at ST.
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.
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!
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.
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.”
Man, these ’82 highlights are something to behold. Nobody, and I mean nobody turned two like Ozzie, Tommy and Keith.
BW…Nice! I always liked the look of that logo featuring the scowling Redbird holding the bat up high. Looks kind of like Pujols…
gscottar…Or 7 or 8 or 9. Some may remember the story of Bruce Sutter’s minor league career during a stint with a Cubs affiliate. He suffered an arm injury at the age of 19 that required surgery. He had the surgery performed. At his own expense…Once healed, he learned to work to hitters with a new pitch that compensated for his lost velocity. The rest is, as they say, history. Sutter was money in the bank.
