(Possibly) better late than never
« on: May 17, 2007, 11:56:20 am »
Last night's recap is up. Sorry for the delay, but I got buried at the office this morning, and my priorities are all out of whack.

Well done.  5 for 4 it is.

I was trying to remember the word for meconium yesterday in our discussion of Sampson pitching the first day after his kid's birth.

You will never forget the substance once you've changed a diaper with it. A downside of having a child born in the early afternoon is that you get the meconium diaper in the early hours of the morning.

Super job. 

This part reminded me of the suggestion that Bags could mount a comeback if he would only learn to throw out of his ass.

Funny...after my first, nurses kept asking me..."Awhhh, have you not changed a diaper yet?...then I'll handle this one for you...show you how to do it."  I just played along...worked three times in a row out the gate.  Do I feel any guilt you ask?  Hell no, and I'd do it again, and again, and again if I had it to do all over again.

Everett made a fantastic play on the ball up the middle.

Loretta's grab off Pedro Feliz was all reaction, but big league all the way.  I would've said "them's the breaks" had the ball gotten away from him, but he picked it cleanly.  He showed me a pretty good arm for third as well.

Puddy is money.  Purp was spectacularly smart/lucky to have picked him up.

Oh, is that what my migraine was from?

Really, Chris Sampson might be a top of the rotation guy?  Gee whiz.  You mean, if you can pitch and keep guys from the other team from scoring "runs" and win "ballgames" and have a career ERA of "2.92", perhaps you have a future as something other than a swing man?

Maybe I have learned something in these 30 years of watching baseball.

That's crazy talk. You're crazy. Sit down before you give yourself another subconjunctival hemorrhage.

As long as Brad Ausmus is duct taped to him, Chris Sampson will pitch in many more quality starts.  Sampson is a master of throwing strikes.  Ausmus is a master at using those strikes correctly.

Roy Oswalt found him, sitting there at thier agent's lobby waiting for their respective appointments.

"So Lo... how's it goin'"

"Well Roy... it's like this..."
