MLB Gameday Griping

It kills me how they only show the highlights for runs scored and the BEST defensive plays. I want to see the replays of the Sori HBP and they won’t show that. But should there ever be a play where a someone walks in a run, you’d better believe I’d be able to watch that to my heart’s content.

Hard for me to remember when we all cringed when he came in the 9th inning

And some of the cruel ones used to call him “Dumpster”. Good for him. I always remember him being very nice when my little kids asked for an autograph in Mesa last year.

Hamtaro is the name of the hamster in the image.

It’s a Japanese cartoon series. I used to have a freaking sweet keychain of Hamtaro wearing a Gozira costume. I still have it, but the little metal loop in the top that attached to the keyring fell off.

Sneaky power was something that Len said about Fontenot after one of his home runs.

It’s a running gag around here – we refer to him as a hamster because of his hair, and so I appropriated Hamtaru as Fontenot’s stand-in.
