PrintNL leading 1-0 on a Matt Holliday home run. Wow I'd love to get that guy. It looks like Duke might be coming in next.
I'm sorry, I stand corrected. Joe Buck would tell me that it's "Duck", not "Duke".

Loved you in so many ways. A great winner when he was here and he brought us a super haul of players.
When will then be now? Soon.
10 PM in New York and it's the 5th inning. What a joke.

My goodness, that is a terrible defensive infield the NL is trotting out

Children, until we have taught them better, will be perfectly happy with a seasonal round of games in which conkers succeeds hopscotch.
Luckily Duke didn't throw up on the mound.
Years ago I had unbelievable seats for Oklahoma vs. Syracuse and it was well over 100 degrees on the field. Donovan McNabb wasn’t used to the weather and he puked all over the field and right in front of our seats when he came off the field.
No idea why I posted this but it just made me remember as opposed to trying to misremember.

The Pro Bowl is rubbish too, but only because it’s such a physical game that they can’t go all out for fear of injury in an exhibition game.

It’s both a popularity contest and a reward for the people playing the best in the first half.

There are really quite a few good announcers on radio

I don’t care for too many of the television announcers out there. But OTOH, TV doesn’t provide the opportunity to excel that radio does.
True
one of the things I’ve noticed (and it REALLY pissed me off) was how good, how prepared and gracious the television announcers for the Yankees were. I HATE the Yankees, but they talked glowingly about the Coliseum and showed it in a light that I see it in when I go, but most people (non-A’s fans, I suppose) don’t see it in.

They should have kept it there for the whole pitching change.
Play “Enter Sandman,” show the crowd, show Rivera warming up, etc.

anyways, went to yankee stadium last year to catch a game there, and I gotta say it was intense hearing Metallica blaring as Mo Rivera made his trot to the mound.

How could you not? I mean sure I dislike how much attention is
focused on the Red Sox and the Yankees, but jeez the Angels are in our division! They’re the media darlings too (when the media isn’t salivating over the Yankees/Red Sox/Cubs), and they have a lot of characters I simply detest.
yeah, but
...I kinda like Vlad, and I liked Torii before he became an Angel…but I despise F-Rod and their manager and their announcers….

Think it was a good throw, but the foot was down before the tag was made
by Kinsler I think. All close calls go to the D anyway.
They can't give Rivera a chance to give up the go-ahead run there.
