Teahan's RBI single

Flores fooled him with a slider, but left it sort of center-in, so even though Teahan was on his front foot, he just dropped the head of his bat and lined it to center.

Nice hitting, but Flores leaving that ball where he did is the kind of thing that makes him a AAAA player.

Praise for Cotroneo in absentia

    It's easy for me to groan about Vince -- when I hear KenKo's voice, I'm still somehow always expecting to hear the King, and though I try not to compare them, my subconscious pays no attention to me.  But man, in the ALDS last year, when Kots hit that inside-the-parker ... and when Scoot hit that double down the line....
    And I love Ray Fosse, really I do, but Foss doing play-by-play on the radio is all I need to remind me that you never know what you have until it's gone.  Can we start the regular season soon?

No, I don't think so

He called off the SS and 2B -- and, come to think of it, putting him in the middle infield might be an even worse idea than putting him the outfield.  The last thing they want is Teahan getting hurt on a dp.
