It's even more impressive considering it's the Marlins. I'm always amazed with what they can do with the peanuts of a payroll they're given. <br /><br />4. Wow, you're absolutely right. Hilarious! <br /><br />5. Maybe it shouldn't be, but the sight of a catcher hoofing it out to second base is just bizarre. Good heads up play indeed. <br /><br />6. I know the Twins, as a team, have never been known as a home run slugging team, but it still surprised me a bit that no Twin has ever hit two homers in one inning before Cuddyer yesterday. Who knew? <br /><br />7. Wow, that's just awesome. There's something so elegant in the simplicity of the tripe play. And a game-ending one? Wow. You really do not see that everyday. Or just about any day.<br /><br />8. Heh. Eat it Red Sox. <br /><br />9. Because as far as ESPN is concerned, everyone everywhere only wants to ever be talking about or watching the Red Sox and the Yankees. <br /><br />10. I'm not optimistic either. It should be noted that Justin Morneau cannot pitch (as far as we know) and thus his return will do little to fix what ails the team right now.Austin Gortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14281239771248780430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266470995513648978.post-11411391512559576372009-08-24T10:32:09.521-05:002009-08-24T10:32:09.521-05:00Yeah, I suppose I should have mentioned this:
The ...Yeah, I suppose I should have mentioned this:<br />The score was Yankes: 20 Red Sox: 11. <br /><br />Surprisingly, the game was *only* 3 hours, 57 minutes long. (Which is short for a Yankees/Red Sox game.)Dr. Bitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13568570859981368717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266470995513648978.post-42128183964648076202009-08-24T07:28:45.205-05:002009-08-24T07:28:45.205-05:001.
