qot night, and assorted stream of consciousness psychobabble about that team i've been neglecting

"shelley duncan hit 25 home runs at AAA, so he IS a power hitter." - joe morgan, with authority, during chris duncan's at bat just now

yeah chipper, scotty woulda had that

apparently ryan howard hitting 50 billion home runs last year is reason enough for humpty dumpty jon miller be shocked and appalled that howard was not included on the all star team THIS year. OH, THE HUMANITY.

watching izzy just now reminds me that i never shared this fantastic danup quote: "By my estimation, we’re finally seeing the old Jason Isringhausen–not the broken 2006 model, or the unhittable early-2007 model, but the most terrifying elite closer in baseball, loading the bases and making inadvisable bare-handed grabs and generally acting like he does not care at all that he’s the shutdown closer of a Major League Baseball team. Giving up a double and striking out the side? Classic Izzy."

dane cook? don't tell me about baseball, or why i love baseball, or anything involving baseball. stick to your shitty boring comedy and leave me alone.

THE MIGHTY ECKSTEIN HAS STRUCK OUT!

which, naturally, they follow up with some a them statistic thingies that say he's hard to strike out so.. yeah, still pretty much the best little player ever!

i like how five minutes ago i was thinking that miles-eckstein-shumaker was the least terrifying/most depressing part of an order since any two names+wil nieves and skip goes and hits one out. well done indeed.

scott rolen! somewhere juney is shrieking. if not, i just might have done it for her.
