Good!
And I’m still wishing they woul measure just how far your mann’s helmet bounced in the air.
Haha, yeah, totally! He and MattE were pickin’ on the celebration, but I thought it was fine! No one else has had one like it!
I believe the old boy has found his secon…..er…..third wind !
I think he has! He’s in one of those stretches now when it feels like he’ll never go 0-fer again, even though he did on Friday!
And just…last week, I think it was, I was asking for one of those stretches!

I thought so; just wish his back wouldn’t have acted up so we could have seen, say, 19 or 20 years of a career instead of about half that much.
noleeee, I’m getting back in the saddle and I appreciate your asking. Seems as if I remember the 1st of September being an important date as far as a return engagement with your doc. Am I right and how’re the lungs?

So there you have it.

Do you think Braves would actually start Glaus at 3B, Infante in LF, Prado at 2d and Lee at 1B against a LHP? Or is Diaz in LF just as strong with the other three playing their regular positions?

From the SI Vault. Bob Horner about playing for the Swallows.
“It wasn’t any one thing that made life difficult,” says Horner. “It was a compilation of things—not understanding the language, not being able to read the street signs or the menus, not being able to buy magazines. Coming back with a lot of mystery foods from the supermarket—it looked like steak or chicken, but was it steak or chicken?”

Just noticed that Jayson Werth was hit by a pitch his first time up — so no perfecto for Kuroda. However, he’s still got a no-no in tact through 5 innings. Also, once Werth was on base, Ibanez grounded into a double play, so Kuroda has faced the minimum so far.

Depends — do the Phillies lose or win in getting no-hit?
One would think that they’d lose while getting no-hit, but it’s certainly possible for them to score 3+ runs without getting a hit. Highly unlikely, but possible.
