Nice fans there in ATL
« on: October 07, 2005, 02:48:39 pm »
Most bizarre moment of last night's game - Francoeur single to right in 7th, Lane gets it in to 2B, and a BALL COMES FLYING FROM THE STANDS ONTO THE FIELD OF PLAY DURING THE ENSUING RUNDOWN???  What the fuck???  I've never seen anything like that before.

Yeah, I saw it and thought...., "What in the hell just happened?"  Did you see a replay?  Was it a kid or something?

They didn't have a replay of who threw it... the trajectory looked like it came from the upper deck.  You could see it bouncing around between the mound and the 1B-2B basepath AS THE RUNDOWN WAS GOING ON.  Mystifying.

Ha, good point Jose.  I don't know about Monday if that's what your hinting at.  I don't have tickets at this time, and will be buying some via ebay, etc assuming the series goes that far.  In most cases I've got'm, but not this time, at least not yet.  Sorry man.

Not exactly on topic, but...

I heard the rundown on the radio because I had to get on the computer for a minute and there's no TV in the "rumpus room" where the PC is.

At the risk of exposing myself as a compulsive geek, does anyone have the scoring for this play?  Milo just described it as "a long rundown".  And while I could write that on my scoresheet and when I dig it out and look at it years from now will just assume I was drunk at the time, I'd prefer the real thing if I can find it.

As for the compulsive geek thing... okay, I'll give you the geek part.  But I finally threw away all those jars of urine I'd been keeping, so I don't think the compulsive charge is exactly fair.

Also not exactly on topic... I forget who told the story, but someone is in the booth with Phil Rizzuto, looking over his shoulder at his scorecard.  It's littered with "WW"s.  Finally the guy asks him, "Hey Phil, what do the WWs stand for?"  His answer: "Wasn't watching."

Correct, dug my score sheet out of the trash.

Francour, RBI single

Not sure how to note the extra ball, but I saw it too.

Thanks for the scoring, fellers.  And speaking of scorekeeping...

In the 4th inning tonight, Ausmus fouled a pitch back into the 300-level seats behind home plate on the first base side. If they showed a pudgy white guy in a red Astros cap clumsily drop his clipboard and scoresheet as he threw his hands up either to catch it or just for protection (not sure which), then you saw Frobie.  I still haven't mastered simultaneous scoring and foul ball defense.

At least the people we were sitting beside got the ball. It was one of my wife's coworkers and his 8-year-old brother. All foul balls should go to kids IMO. It pisses me off to see grown men fighting over them.

Had a hell of a good time at the game tonight.  Still pumped up and trying to calm down with a beer or two.  Of course, with the noon start tomorrow I'd better get some sleep!

Edited to add:  Hey, I'm not a Clark anymore!  Well, I mean I'll always truly be a Clark but now I don't have to wear the label.

Well, thanks.  But honestly, Oswalt did most of the work.  All I did was (barely) manage to not get killed by a foul ball.

Though that's more than I do on most days.
