Sampson has a 1-2-3 first frame thanks a missed bunt and a great throw from Brad.

Good guys coming to bat.

Fantastically ugly catch by Byrnes to retire Berkman.

PENCE!!! with a bad break on the RBI double... not sure if it was catchable anyway, or if Byrnes would have scored if a good route was taken.

If Morgan was just doing his best flamingo impression and not yelling, Everett probably didn't know he was calling it. Not watching on TV, so I have no idea if thats the case or not, but Ensberg tends to just flap his arms a lot when he is calling one.

Bench · « **Reply #11 on:** May 11, 2007, 07:30:07 pm »

And Everett continues to make the sublime seem routine. Fantastic play on that DP.

Morgan's vocal cords must be attached to whatever neuron tells him to protect the plate.

You nailed it. That's normally the SS ball, Everett had a ways to go on a not real high pop up and while tracking the ball evidently failed to see Morgan flying south for the Winter.

Oh, you know, if the guys are getting on base and making something happen it's not so bad. If the pitching can keep it close this team can score a couple of runs in a heartbeat. What's to unpleasant for me is the strikeouts on pitches ten inches outside the zone. I mean, the guy's throwing 80 miles an hour. It's not like he has some 92 mph Lidgean slider that you can't lay off of.

I hope Lee and Scott were hustling there and it just looked like they werent on tv. In the replay Lee appears to pick up speed between 2nd and 3rd when the ball dropped. Scott left the box in disgust thinking the ball was short of the fence but they didn't show him running down the line (not that he could go further than 2nd, regardless)

He's a fellow Cardinal. I was impressed with how quickly he got out of the box and was hauling ass down the line. Most guys would stand around and admire a Conoco Pump blast, but he never assumed it was out and hustled down the line. I don't root for other teams' guys no matter who they are or where they came from, but I was impressed with that hustle.
