Khan has yet to get anyone out.

Oh man, that was hilarious. Nice to hear the mention of Boxcar Willie and the Orient Express Bamboo Steamer. |

No Eric Holtz I don't want to check out your stupid story. I don't care about Dr. Levy or your SLAP tear or Montefiore. Why. Why. Why. Over and over and over again.  You get different ads than I do with the Extra Innings package. Every half inning I get Mike Trout, with Bud Selig saying "The Los Angeleez Angels take Mike Trout." I'd almost trade with you for Montefiore. I get those too, when I get the YES team. I always remember being in Millville, NJ, where Trout hails from a couple of times. I forget the name of the little burger joint in town. It’s world-famous, apparently. The guy that took me there for a business lunch coached me on what to do before we went in. “Make sure you order two, their very small”. This was before sliders were common. “Okay, I like mine plain”. “That’s all right, they serve them plain, and they put a delicious sauce on them”. We go to the counter... “How many for you sir”. “Two” says I with confidence. “But I’d like them plain, no sauce or anything”. The server looks at me incredulously. All conversation in the entire place stopped as 50 or so New Jersey eyes focus on me. I’m assuming everyone there had two eyes. I was afraid to check. I’ve just broken the rules of the secret, world-famous sauce... My co-worker whispers in my ear “You have to get the sauce. EVERYBODY gets the sauce, that’s what they’re famous for”. So I says “Okay, I’ll take the sauce”. The server smiles, conversation starts up again at the lunch counter as the World gets back on it’s axis. Phew. They’re going to let me live. As we’re leaving, the server says “How did you like that sauce, buddy”? “Delicious”, says I. After all, I’m from Maryland. I want to live you see... Truth? The sauce was all right...I think they might have refused to serve me if I didn’t get the sauce... |

Slim Whitman was another late night "this album is not available in stores" favorite.

Well, we'll have to make a comeback now.

Romine not catching that foul tip just cost us two runs. Tough break.

Somebody in the big four bullpen arms was due for a bad outing.

Oh man, that was hilarious. Nice to hear the mention of Boxcar Willie and the Orient Express Bamboo Steamer. Good stuff...Not the stuff, the song...and your post, and Rizzuto’s. Certainly not the stuff, though. If written today it could be called “The Ballad of Laurie Greiner”... |

Some games are strange. Felt like we dominated this one and we are down 4-2 fairly late.
A's seem to play better against us than other teams they play.

Jim’s Diner! That’s the place in Millville. I think they briefly show the place on the Trout promo. They probably made him big and strong. Because, you know. The sauce...
