Emergency catcher... Mike Lamb?
« on: August 13, 2007, 07:56:01 am »
From the Chronicle:

Astros manager Phil Garner was nearly forced to use emergency catcher Mike Lamb on Friday.

Having already taken starter Eric Munson out of the game, Garner raced onto the field to subdue an enraged Brad Ausmus while he was arguing a strike call in the 11th inning.

"I couldn't afford to have Brad thrown out," said Garner, who would likely called upon Lamb to catch had Ausmus gotten ejected and the Astros tied the game.

We were watching Ausmus' meltdown on Friday and wondering who Garner would use if he got thrown out of the game. Lamb? We'd never heard Lamb was the emergency catcher until we read it in yesterday's Chronicle... which made us bemusingly wonder if Lamb had ever heard he's the emergency catcher...

And Jason Lane is our emergency pitcher. And I hope like hell I never see either of those guys in those positions.

That's why they're called emergencies.

i can remember once when tim bogar pitched a perfect inning and was called cy bogie.. so the back up things can happen
and an emergecy of the magnitude of having lane pitch and lamb catch would probably be close to the end of life as we knot it so why not just relax and enjoy the show

No one ever said that.

"No. No, man, shit, no, man. I believe you get your ass kicked for sayin' something like that, man."

Apropos of everything - that movie was Jennifer Aniston at her peak, before she decided to pilates/starve herself to a stick.

I used to keep Office Space in my VCR at all times, cued up to the scene with the Bobs. I found it cathartic to watch after particularly bad days at work.

It's great for that.  Reminds you that the bullshit you put up with in the office truly is bullshit and you're not missing the point.
