Whatever...

I mean It doesn’t matter. But we really hate these guys..

Trea Turner leads all major leaguers in SB. I was surprised at who was second: Whit Merrifield..

Does he get a trophy for that?

The Bobbsey twins bemoaning Royce's warning track shots, and how the cooler weather and breeze kept those balls in ...

Is FP going to talk about the ball not carrying in the cooler weather?

[varoadking]

So predictable, eh?

[bluestreak]

Does he get a trophy for that?

I actually think they both do. 

I was just commenting because I don’t typically think of Merrifield as a speedster. 

Tough crowd.

FP was actually suggesting that the team's slow start was due to the weather in April.

Always nice to get a win

[bluestreak]

Already eliminated? Let’s go out and throw a 1-hit shutout.

freak these guys.

[spidernat]

I went back to listen to what FP was saying and he was definitely blaming the April weather, as opposed to last year, to the slow start. Martinez is off the hook!

I was thinking the same thing

Missed that...but I can believe it...

The only thing I thought was: Damn.......the guy that did Senators play-by-play 50 years ago is 2nd in SB?

<---------------------------           This

One of the latest arriving crowds I can recall.    Every entrance was backed up  ...  even after first pitch.    Plus, had all the 7 Line crew thinking they were hot crap.    Come to think of it, that's exactly what they were.         The arrogance of New Yorkers (the city) is mind boggling.    A beat down was appropriate and the shot by Turner into the 7 Line fans  ....  How sweet it is.

Ran into Kolko on the concourse near the Diamond Club.   I sez, "Kolko".     He laughed and said "hi".

That stressed me out.  And then another bird hit the cable holding up the net over 115.
