"you outta be on Soul Train" or this. I had the 45 when I was 11.

I missed that. Got a link?

Reminds me of a line from some comedy or ad. “How do you think a man like me became a man like me?”

Mr. Rubenstein needs to get himself a legit Orioles cap. The thing they keep showing him wearing in the stands looks like something you get at O’s Appreciation Day. It probably says “thanks for all you do” on the back. And you get a free hotdog and an extra half hour for lunch.

Agreed. I think it all comes down to Ted Williams' philosophy of "get a pitch you can hit". If it's the first pitch (and in so many case, the first pitch is that pitch), then go with it. We see it so many times where the broadcaster will say "(insert pitcher name) was ambushed on that pitch". It means, he threw the best pitch he's gonna see, ie. pitch #1. Taking strike one with someone who is not known for hitting his target basically reduces the equation to "two strikes vs. 4 balls". Doing the same with an ace will be even more disadvantageous. Getting oneself into a hole puts the pitcher at that distinct advantage and the batter then finds himself swinging or flailing at pitches that are close, rather than one he can barrel up on.

82 degrees in Durham NC. Nice night to watch on the iPad with the wife and Great Pyrenees pup in the backyard. So everyone has their own Homer Hose nipple or what? Go Rhino! I see Ben agrees.

In think in cases like this, we get store credit and not a refund. The Met's Team Store.

Not afraid to pitch inside, I see Maybe Adley can set up for a pitch a foot off of the plate and maybe he'll hit the corner instead.

Interesting idea. Following.

Dang, saw a fan wearing a Baines jersey. That's like wearing a Dave Duncan or something.

Ain't gonna lie, this one feels good. Nice job boys! Turn on the splash!

The Milkman. When you need to turn it up to 11. Or if 10 sounds like 11.

Carrying this team on his back.

Yeah, nobody needs those kind of "mommy issues."
