Kinda OT:

I hope someone snagged one of those “Let Teddy Win!” signs from the President’s mascot race for our Ted.

Wow, what a great catch, amazing, best I've ever seen, gosh, that was great, wonderful, terrific

PLEASE SHOW IT! Jeez! I was in the other room and missed it and it’s driving me crazy how they’re talking about how wonderful it is but NOT SHOWING THE REPLAY. Wake up, Comcast Sports Net!

Put a helmet on Reed while he's out there in center.

Could have broken his skull on that catch.

That's what I initially thought

When he was sliding I was like “Oh nooo” and then he got up and I was like “OMGYES!!!”

I noticed that too. And yes, Wood and the rest of the bullpen were priceless!

Yeah, my heart was in my throat for second there.

I think he tucked his head a split second before impact. Caught the brunt on his shoulders.

That was ball four

Theriot had the right idea. If that was a strike, or anywhere near the plate, Lee would have put the bat on it. He was staying out of the double play. Horrible call behind the plate. Umpire was blinded by the fact the catcher stood up to throw to second.
