Frank - you da man!
(Blank) high and down Main Street to Frankie Boy with two on? Jeez....makes it tough to miss Isringhausen!
Blast, if only I knew who was pitching for us, and then what they looked like, I could really get upset about this.
Early days, players, let's work those counts better! (Or count that work, even!)

Coach O, with all due respect....it might be JT pitching....think his eye sight is as sporadic as the color problem.

OK, Keyboards. Time to stop walking softly and bring out, complements of our bat maker, Woody:

Sorry gang.
"MISSED IT BY THIS MUCH."
Should've gone with the pitch instead of trying to jack it. Way to pick us up, AK.

PPP TEAM! Wow, keep it going! Must be the purple juice! 
Way to go, just got to find a way to score, but things are looking good!
jme,
Try not to get too picky when commish makes an error, don't want to get a rep for one of those kind of teams. We can address it to MN Mom, she's supposed to handle those things.

Clutch, AK, clutch!
I guess that's what happens when you send an actual ballplayer up to bat!

Hope the rain holds off. The only tarp crew we could find was the Washington Nationals--and they haven't quite figured it out, yet.
Hmmmm --- tarp out? Maybe Big Bopper Frank will do his Vince Coleman impression...(insert evil laugh here).

Sounds like taunting to me. Take that equipment off and you would never talk to JT (the Animal) like that.

Come to think about it, I know some guys up in Lynchburg - they grow them big up there dont they. JT, what kind of pitch would you like next time up.
Tim McCarver: Good rain delay reading:
"This is the first time in major league history, except for the strike season, included, where there was no 20-game winner" - McCarver apparently thinking that the shortened season would yield more wins than normal. -Evan Rakowski (Game 1 2006 ALDS)
During Game 5 of the 2006 NLCS, on a pitch to Jose Reyes, McCarver says, “That pitch wasn’t down and in, that pitch was down and up.” Too bad you can't go up and down at the same time.
"If Oliver Perez throws in the succeeding innings like he did in the first, you might not need the bullpen early."
"Well, David Eckstein, like most of us, has 20 digits. Ten fingers. Ten toes."
"Something to keep in mind -- it's raining lightly. The infield could be very wet on ground balls."
"On most teams the set up man has become more valuable, on others not so valuable."
“So by guessing right you might have guessed wrong.” - NLCS Game 6, 10/18/06,
2004 ALCS, Game 5? Red Sox vs. Yankees . David Ortiz hit a home run into right field. Tim: "Mt. Everest erupts again!".....too bad Mt. Everest isn't a volcano!
August 19, 2006 Yankees @ Red Sox. "Pitching is such a vital part of the game, as far as winning is concerned"

Catcher09, I'll be the one laughing next time up. Those McCarverisms are PRICELESS.
Anyhow, during the delay I took my bat to be blessed by my university's chancellor--Jerry FALWELL (yes, THAT Jerry Falwell). Of course, he gave me a good stern talking to about not being CONSERVATIVE enough at the plate, and wants me to not be concerned with the LIBERAL strike zone. Next time up, I'll be looking to smash one to the RIGHT side.

DB2B – 1 up to bat…..
Home plate ump is walking over to the Keyboards dugout, pointing at 0209Mom…it looks like…. Yes…with a quick thumb jerk 0209Mom has been kicked out of the game…..I’m guessing the 0209Mom has used a magic work…that magic word is working….cause she has been removed from the game. We will have to see who the Keyboards put in to replace 0209Mom.

Just a polite question, here, Mr Commoosioner. 02-09Mom? We don't have such a player on our team. We DO have an 02-04Mom. A very wise woman who got to enjoy a taste of the bigtime as her son's team went to regionals last year. Please reconsider.
JT: See lineup card from page 16....
Keyboards. Perhaps we can regroup over a good night's sleep. Let us all have a restful night's sleep free of conflict so that we may have a good KARMA-filled day tomorrow.
0204(9) got tossed for saying the magic word? How can you get tossed for saying "abracadabra"? What, have we got Angel Hernandez out there caling 2B? Well, I do admire her fire; I keep telling you guys not to mess with The Moms.
More deep, cleansing breaths, Keyboards. Practice some Yogi tonight so that tomorrow we not only will be more relaxed and flexible in order to play better ball, but we will be more successful mangling the English language and coming up with some quotes for the ages.
Speaking of quotes for the ages, catcher09, there must be something about ex-Cardinal catchers. But somehow when McCarver says those things nationally it aggravates the bejaysus out of me, but when Mike Shannon does it on the Cards' radio broadcasts, it's charming. Ah, one of life's great conundrums.....

Orlando--I hear the umpire was actually DON DENKINGER. That pretty much explains everything.
From now until the first pitch tomorrow, I am making a vow of silence, chastity, and fasting in order to prepare myself for the task at hand.

Wheeeeew,..i-n-t-e-n-s-e man,....pass down the purple juice dudes/dudettes. ( gulp gulp gulp ) Anyone got a bandaide? Tourniquet?
We gotta keep the pace fellow PPP's. Positive attitude is a biig plus!!
Pssst,..just between you and me, I wasnt really mad at 0204mom,..just a little irritated as she made some snyde comment about my lima-bean casserole and something to the effect that hers was waaaaay better than mine. Like whatever,..as if that could even be possible! Humpf! I think I mighta even heard a bit of a diss about our unis and color cordinated banner. The gall?!!!
2nd base umpire came over to put in his two cents into our conversation. After a few promises, ( made by yours truely ) , of a private one on one lima bean casserole taste testing behind the bleachers after the game,
( wink-wink,...theres no limit to what a girl will say to win!! ) he decided that my casserole was indeed worth a try. He then, in her best interest of course, sent 0204mom back to her kitchen to invent a casserole of her own.
Bet it looked like she tried to cleat me from the dugout huh? Nahhh,...we were just demonstrating how to properly scew a pork tenderloin onto a bbq fork before putting it on the grill. The blood dripping from my calf was simply for effect, playing the part of the bbq sauce.
Hey FO,...when you are done at the porta potty,....think ya might swing by behind the bleachers,...I uhhhhhh, may need some support when the 2nd base ref calls in my offer. Dont think I should go there alone. Think I'll ask Beezer tooo!! Heck,..I'll take anyone who is willing to come with me!!!
( eeeek! )
P.S. Moose Heiness,..er uh, King of the Forrest,
did I ever say thank you for letting me play?? Well I am now.
I'm havin' a blast!!!!

I got another hit! Did it while I was at the Doctor's office too....I also got 4 more weeks of therapy tacked on to the 2 I have left....think it was that slide into 3rd....
I'm thinking after this game I can prove, and end years of debate with my husband, that son's offensive abilities come from my genes....as do all his positive attributes
! (JT...if you know what's good for you....you'll leave that one alone....)

Paws,
Great work today, I am sooo proud of you paws.
Great scouting reports on everyone!
JBB, just keep it low, let your defense do the work!
Lady,
Amazing you can hit and be someplace else at the same time!
You also are a pitcher ( I think), now you are a two way player!
Paws players, keep your cool, you don't want to get tossed. I feel badly for Orlando, trying to keep that rowdy bunch quiet.
But she's a good coach, she stood up for her player (even though she told me she was ready to ring 0204's neck).
Show your professionalism at ALL times. Just to let you know, heard a rumor that Keyboards might have some recruiting violations. No wonder they are so defensive!
20Dad in for replacement player?
I hope MNmom is keeping her eye out for MVP!
THINK PURPLE!

Of course I don't want to wring 0204's neck, particularly in light of ssmom's confessions. (Lima bean casserole? Is that what they're calling meeting behind the bleachers these days, nudge-nudge, wink-wink, say no more, say no more). Not exactly the threatened Kenny move, but in the same, shall we say, vein.
Well, if that's the Name of the Game......

Heeey,..I did my best this afternoon to get him to concede to a truce handshake,...but he didnt take the bait. Dogonit!! Instead he signed his wife up in the Womans Only Forum with the promise of quilting tips. Hmmm perhaps a tactical sly move on his part. (???) Not sure,....we'll have to see. So far,..she's been pretty cool.
Coach TPMom,...with regards to the limabean casserole at the tailgate,..YOU BETCHA!! Double batch comin' up! ( wink-wink! Lets just keep pretendin' no one heard my confession, ok? Gotta keep it on the down low,..shhhhhh. )

Frank = Stud muffin. Whatta keeper!!!
Gonna cruise by the ER, get a few stitches,..hit the weightroom for a light workout, iron my uniform, curl my hair, and call it a night. See ya all tomorrow at warm ups.
