Lance in the postgame
« on: May 07, 2007, 09:33:00 pm »
On the Freel mystery catch - "All I know is that he dove into the stands and came out without the ball, and I was out. I figured all you really have to do is give an effort."

On the HR - "I hit that ball pretty good."

Greg Lucas asks Lance to explain why Roy is 19-1 v. the Redlegs - "Have you seen Roy pitch?"
Oye. Vamos, vamos.

Ryan Freel is extremely lucky he didn't injure himself or a fan on that 2nd catch.  I'm all for balls to the wall, but sometimes you gotta have a little restraint when you know you're diving headlong into a sea of people that could (and did) include small children.

He might not get the ball, but I bet he'd get a mouthful of someone's hot dog.

Combine that with the morons blast from Sunday's postgame and Lance seems to be in a combative, no time for bullshit mood.

If you have "small children" or are otherwise feeble, you might not want to sit in harms way.  It's a ballgame.  Foul balls and hustling players come your way.  It's been that way for a fairly long time.

Amen! I shake my head and wonder why folks choose to sit in the front row at a ball game and then let their toddler wander up and down the walk way.  At Greeneville's stadium the front row above/behind the dugouts are not protected.  People don't take the risk seriously and apparently can't read the signs either.

At a Corpus-Frisco game a few weekends back, I was sitting with my family directly behind the 1st Base dugout.  A group of women plopped down in front of us with several children, including some toddlers.  I could see the impending train-wreck, as the women paid no attention to the game and let the kids run wild in the row and the aisle.

Later in the game, a Frisco player skipped a hot foul ball off the top of the dugout and nailed their 2-year-old boy.  Thankfully, it caught him in the hip and butt instead of somewhere more vulnerable.  Based on what I saw afterwards, the mother and her hen-friends didn't take the appropriate lesson from the experience.

For some unknown reason that is one of my favorite movies.  Got some real choice humor in it.
