al game shocked
I will be shocked if Al Leiter doesn't come into the game now.
bench decade guys happen mental red trying white yankees
It's doubled his workload, at least. He's trying to get to know these guys quickly. That didn't happen 30 years ago. The decade that Jorge has had with the Yankees has been much harder, from a mental standpoint, than Bench with the Reds or (Carlton) Fisk with the Red Sox or White Sox.
against apply august cares game happened hitter july relevant
You don't want to use too many statistics. The ones that apply to a July or August game won't be relevant on Saturday. If they are tied, or a game separated, who cares what happened back in May? Who cares if this hitter was 6-for-28 against this pitcher.
funny running baseball
Bob Gibson is the luckiest pitcher I ever saw. He always pitches when the other team doesn't score any runs.
sports dumb arms
The reason we call that pitch up and in is because the arms are attached to the shoulder.
mean giving use
When a catcher has to use his thumb to give signs, that means the pitcher has more than four pitches.
sports dumb toes
Well, David Eckstein, like most of us, has 20 digits. Ten fingers. Ten toes.
sports differences hyphens
The only difference between resigning and resigning is a hyphen.
thinking tonight
I think Tim Wakefield would even say tonight that Tim Wakefield got to Tim Wakefield tonight,
sports years yankees
Yankee pitchers have had great success this year against Cabrera when they get him out.
sports country mean
The playoffs are the wedge between the season and the World Series. If you lose, it means you won't be going to the greatest sports event in this country...You're forgotten by Thanksgiving.
believe years careers
If somebody told me back in 1980 that I would have a 32-year career, and that I'd be [elected into the Hall of Fame], I'd say no way. For three years, I couldn't even break into the Phillies broadcast booth. I was just hoping to make it, much less be mentioned as a Ford Frick winner. Believe me, when I started out, this award wasn't even close to being on the radar.
running home home-run
A walk is as good as a home run.
sports simple guy
Roy Oswalt is a drop and drive pitcher. What is a drop and drive pitcher? He is a guy who drops and drives. Very simple.
