BASTARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm watching on MLB.tv....
It cut to a “commercial break” at the start of the stretch, which it shouldn’t do.

It always does though on my version. :-)

Last year they almost never did and it was also nice.
About to throw some Ale in the fridge for 20 minutes to get it to “cellar” temp.

seemed like he thought someone called time
so he stopped, then started throwing again

"If [Ruth] had [called his shot], I would have knocked him down with the next pitch." -Charlie Root
Yep
Earlier, he threw to first as Lee was breaking to cover a bunt attempt, so with first base unoccupied, it was a balk. And then there was the second one, where he stopped his stride and throw and then resumed it.

Cetera sang the 7th inning stretch for some game we came back on....
….last year? year before?
I’m thinking it was Colorado, but maybe that was the Blackhawk’s guys…

I can't remember who it was against
but yes, Cetera did sing before a big rally.
Loved him with Chicago, not a big fan of his solo stuff.

What do you know, Gathright still has a role
he’s in to pinch-run for Hoffpauir.

Gathright pulls a Cedeno!
overslides second on the steal and is out.

that would have been better
carried too much speed into the headfirst slide and couldn’t hold the corner.

and he could play 3 infield spots.

But when
you are on the team primarily for your ability to run the bases and as a defensive sub, you need to stop getting picked off and oversliding bases when you get an opportunity to contribute. He hasn’t done anything for the team thus far. Hopefully, that will change.
no argument here

Golden Sombrero for Hermida
ends the 8th.

WHere does the term golden sombrero come from?
Go Green! Go White! GO STATE!
King Leonidas: Spartans! What is your profession?
Spartans: HA-OOH! HA-OOH! HA-OOH!
IT MEANS FOR YOU
To get your flag ready to go up,,,,,,,
Since 3 strikeouts are a hat trick
people decided 4 K’s should get a bigger hat, like a sombrero.
I love to play baseball. I'm a baseball player. I've always been a baseball player. I'm still a baseball player. That's who I am. - Ryne Sandberg
no problem
5 strikeouts is a platinum sombrero, while 6 is a Horn (after Sam Horn).
I love to play baseball. I'm a baseball player. I've always been a baseball player. I'm still a baseball player. That's who I am. - Ryne Sandberg
technically, 6 is a titanium sombrero
Horn did 5 in an extra-inning game
"If it's obvious, it's obviously wrong." - a well known stock market guru
gotcha. thanks.
I love to play baseball. I'm a baseball player. I've always been a baseball player. I'm still a baseball player. That's who I am. - Ryne Sandberg
yes it is.
I love to play baseball. I'm a baseball player. I've always been a baseball player. I'm still a baseball player. That's who I am. - Ryne Sandberg
If a batter gets to the point of getting 6, then it's on the manager for not pinch hitting.
Clearly a guy K-ing 5 times in one day is having a bad day at the plate…
Go Green! Go White! GO STATE!
King Leonidas: Spartans! What is your profession?
Spartans: HA-OOH! HA-OOH! HA-OOH!
Andruw Jones did it a year or so ago, and Geoff Jenkins did it in a 17 inning game.
"I'm not much of a chemistry guy, you know. Chemistry to me is a pinch-hit double with the bases loaded"--Jim Frey, Chicago Tribune, 1985.
Andruw struck out 5 times in 9 innings and Jenkins 6 times in 17 innings.

didn't Soriano have 4 or 5 Ks the day he hit the GW homer in Milwaukee?

and the golden part is what, exactly?
Go Green! Go White! GO STATE!

I mean, why not a BROWN sombrero, considering...
…I’m just asking….
Go Green! Go White! GO STATE!
King Leonidas: Spartans! What is your profession?
Spartans: HA-OOH! HA-OOH! HA-OOH!
beats me.
Maybe because striking out 4 times in a game should be shiny and stand out in the box score.
I love to play baseball. I'm a baseball player. I've always been a baseball player. I'm still a baseball player. That's who I am. - Ryne Sandberg
you are actually celebrating the pitching accomplishment
not the batting futility, thus the metal goes up in value
"If it's obvious, it's obviously wrong." - a well known stock market guru
well that makes sense, I suppose.
I love to play baseball. I'm a baseball player. I've always been a baseball player. I'm still a baseball player. That's who I am. - Ryne Sandberg
OK. I'll buy that (kinda), but it could be four different pitchers...
…so it’s still more on the batter it seems…
Go Green! Go White! GO STATE!
King Leonidas: Spartans! What is your profession?
Spartans: HA-OOH! HA-OOH! HA-OOH!
I think this stuff was thought up when pitchers were MEN and actually
throwing 10-12 complete games in a year was not unusual.
"If it's obvious, it's obviously wrong." - a well known stock market guru
THe could do it because they didn't endlessly nibble around the plate and throw 100 pitches in 4 innings.
Jenkins, Koltman, Hands, – those guys usually finished what they started. 25 CGs a year was the norm.
Go Green! Go White! GO STATE!
King Leonidas: Spartans! What is your profession?
Spartans: HA-OOH! HA-OOH! HA-OOH!
THE=They. Koltman= Holtzman. Geez. Early this am...

That is the best win of the year.
Hitting in bunches, especially with runners on. Lilly was the best I have seen him all season, even with the 1 hit display earlier in April. Lee showed some power. Theriot with the hot stick. Z going tomorrow gives me hope that we can take 3 out of 4, something I cannot remember doing to the Fish in quite some time, if at all.

Two observations.........................
Lee’s back with a huge HR and oops 3 K’s…not so impressive. Does the decline continue?
Hoffpauir goes 2 for 3 with a nice catch in RF. It’s too bad he doesn’t get the credit he deserves. He’s worked hard to become a decent RF’er, good 1st baseman, and a .300+ hitter.
If you had to choose just one characteristic that would get you through life, choose a sense of humor.
