Gardner:
Reach out and give a little glove...
Holy schnikey, what a catch. I didn’t think his arm was that long...

I thought I remembered seeing Clarence Beeks pitch for the Brooklyn Bridegrooms.....now there was a team... They used to destroy the Cleveland Spiders. Good times, weren't they?

Too bad teams didn’t stick to the arachnid or even insect themes for nicknames... Boston Brown Recluses New York Cockroaches (NL team, of course) Toronto Thrips Ants of Atlanta California Carpenter Ants Minnesota Millepedes New York Bedbugs (AL) Yep. I could root for the bedbugs...

Voit & Sanchez are having a strike out contest. I was proud of Voit for swinging at that third strike...There are times to celebrate the small victories...

Red Sox trailing the Jays 4-1 in the fourth...The farther back those Sox stay, the better...horrifying enough seeing the Rays rally back to within five...

It wouldn't be a Yankee game without some stupid base running. The Deadly Double Doofus running play double play kills a rally...Torres has to be the team’s leading doofus runner...he seems to be in almost everyone one of them...
