If the Marlins win the WS, there's a silver lining

We can have a Marlins Players rummage sale.

Ellis walk-off...

...I feel it.

You can't sit on a lead and run a few plays into the line and just kill the clock. You've got to throw the ball over the goddamn plate and give the other man his chance. That's why baseball is the greatest game of them all. ~Earl Weaver

Sweeney might extend his hitting streak

I think that was what Street was after. Extra innings, to get Sweeney a final AB.

I was in such a good mood. Took off early on a beautiful

Friday afternoon with perfect weather. Grilled out with some friends and went to see The Love Guru. Came here and saw us lead, then lose the lead, then regain the lead only to lose it again. What a long, short night!

It was funny only because I love Mike Myers. He is one of three people

that I look at and start laughing- John Belushi, Mike Myers, Will Ferrell and Steve Martin. It will get better seeing it several times.

You hate to go extras against a team

that scores so easily. On the other hand, you love to think that worst case scenario is sending up a bunch of lefties to face Kevin Gregg.

There are mosquitoes in my room

I was given to understand there would be no mosquitoes on this side of the Hayward Fault. Unfair!

Don't blame me, I voted for Ice Cream

by Englishmajor on Jun 20, 2008 10:12 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Now there's an idea

And as soon as I typed “this side of the Hayward Fault” I realized I didn’t know which side of it I was on since my move. So I consulted the ABAG maps—and in fact I am on the east side of the fault by about a block.

No doubt

His lack of command scares me. As does Foulke’s tendency to throw strikes.

His body language wasn't great

Probably still conscious of the elbow, which makes sense.

The pitch was belt high over the fat part of the plate, so it isn’t like we weren’t trying

is to fight him off with another Dan… BRING BACK DAN JOHNSON

Why so many throws to first

Who does Andrew Brown think he is? Greg Smith? I’m pretty sure Uggla’s not taking off anytime soon…

throwing a first pitch strike sometime.

So here's the new game plan:

The opposition drops whatever Chavez hits.
Suzuki drives in whoever’s left on base.

Like this:

Hitter suzuki = Hitter.new();
Team opposition = Team.new();
Array runners = Array.new();

while (!throwing_up) {
  street.blow(lead);
  opposition.drop(chavez.popfly(), runners);
  for (int i = 0; i < runners.length(); i++) {
    suzuki.drive_in(runners[i]);
  }

But he wouldn't have had to

since he would have terrified the Marlins with his gritty presence behind the plate and they never would have scored at all.
