I hope Blanton didn’t feel up at the paual deen cafe before this game
"Someone created the box score," Morey says, "and he should be shot."
Blocked shots — they look great, but unless you secure the ball afterward, you haven’t helped your team all that much.

I live in california, and i don’t get the extra innings package, need that money for now…so i usually watch through the blog – it’s just interesting that a pitcher gets credit for pitching ‘out’ of a jam but often it’s fotten he put himself in the same jam :)
And popping up the pitcher isn’t exactly ‘crafty’ :)

I’ve heard stuff like that, too. That people bring old baseballs to games and throw those onto the field instead of the actual home run ball.
It’s all the Cubs fans’ fault. They started it, and it spread like a disease.

Story of season really is how amazing to be in !st, 5 games over even with no leadoff hitter, your “best” pitcher on DL and your RBI leader and one of prime catalysts (Ibanez) out for last 2 weeks and maybe longer.
