the pitch to Burke
« on: October 09, 2005, 10:22:07 pm »
i don't think it would have been a strike. i was sitting by myself watching the game, just talking away to Burke and Divine: "do not swing at sliders. pitch him in." wow, what a game!
Often wrong, but never in doubt.

I was in the car saying to my wife "2-0, look for a fastball in".  Then POW!  Seeing the replay later was surreal.  The pitch was just where I imagined it was.
The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

I had just said to the kid next to me that on 2-0 he should be looking for a pitch to drive.  Then I said I wished it was Mo with the 2-0.  Then, BAM.
I love Geoff Leach.  Every day.
