'Twas Five Days Before Christmas, and Cold in the House

 BEST PLAY OF THE DAY:
Rob Morse and Dick Duckworth,
born 70 yrs. and 1 day, and
76 yrs. and 1 day ago, respectively.

Or, if you prefer,  146 yrs. and 2 days ago.

Baseball: a game of bases and balls

The pitchers today

looked down 

on most 

of the 

guys

only

because 

together they

are about twelve

and a half feet tall.

And then there was this 

wonderful adventure

of the evil slippery-hearted ball.

Low Drama Day

One knee short of levitation and of finding a new religion.

Holdup at First

"C'mon man!"

Nexus

"Ah, you're just saying that. . . ."

"Yep.  Just saying it."

"Ain't sayin' nothin."

Visitor's Bench

Down the Homer Stretch

Well, there he goes again!  No. 21.  Almost got a bicyclist out on the bike path, over the fence, but the right fielder warned him so he waited, picked up the ball, and threw it back onto the field, saving Reed a couple of bucks.  It all counts. 

Whoops!

There it goes!

Levitation

Ballet . . .

. . . at the grown up level.

Satisfaction

Sitting down on one's . . .
                                      . . . down on the job.

Oh, no!

Maybe.

Oh, yeah.

It's over.
