More ammo for Renfield as Gallo strikes out. Another true outcome accomplished. Hope he snaps out of it soon, tho. |

They do know that they are allowed to score more than one run in an inning? I guess they got the message.   |

You know it's your day when Stanton and Sanchez are burning up the basepaths.

That’s it! Yes, “Guys and Dolls” and chomping cigars! Jauss was one of them! Amazing Pipps! Damon Runyan. Ring Lardner. Heywood Broun. Sportswriters who also did literature. Roger Angell, George Plimpton, Frank Deford, David Halberstam. Some great ones no longer with us. Angell is still with us. |

Now we see why Gallo has only hit into 9 double plays in his career. Pipps is on his case too,  I was making the case for him when they got him. And I still think he'll contribute. But yeah, guys who strike out this much do try my patience. |

Was it Dr. Johnson who said youth is wasted on the young? Do you recall a satellite sports show in the 1980s that had Rick Telander and three older sportswriters - all from the Chicago area I believe? They all called Rick Telander “Young Telander” though he was probably late thirties. Kaybli is our Young Telander of HeAmyHa. Young Kaybli. , I think maize and anthony and sierch are all younger than me. So are some of my socks… |

Do you really think that pronunciation to be true? I think they were heels, but that Americans were not ready to submit to the Hispanic pronunciations. I recall Jesus Alou and the other Jesus’s at the time being called Geezus not today’s acceptable Hey-Zeus. A couple years ago I heard Brooks Robinson in a booth guest appearance still calling players named Jesus, Geezus… poor old boy from Arkansas still not ready for change… Now I also wonder if Achilles will be pronounced A-Ki- Yas… So you believe Spanish came before Ancient Greek?  No, but if born to a Hispanic father… the pronunciation may be different… Now that I think about it, Jesus being done with the biblical pronunciation might have just been our local accent. After all, we was fumunders. Fumunder the Mason Dixon Line… |
