I did my best. I Couldn't find the necessary pictures from Toy Story. I wonder if Chi was around, if she would have some stern words for us yet?

Heheheheh, Byron. You're an okay kid. That was a ballsy move.

I like aggressive

 

The Cubs had to be perfect to get that out and they haven't perfect in this series so far.

Don't at all mind trying for second on the fly ball.

 

Don't at all like Rosario getting picked off first.

Yep, aggressive is good.

 

If a play requires a perfect throw to fail, it was the right play. The overwhelming majority of throws in MLB are not perfect.

Young guys making outs on the bases.

Yeah, we've been waiting for years for the young guys to arrive. They're starting to arrive, but to expect them to show up and not have some growing pains is unrealistic. Whether it's Buxton, Vargas, Rosario or anyone else. That's one reason I like seeing them up now, getting some of these issues out of their system and learning what the big league game is all about.

Exactly. Mistakes are expected. The Buxton play was good, aggressive running by Byron.

 

The Rosario pickoff was a young player doing something stupid. It's okay, the young guys are bound to do that from time to time.

Steve Blass, Steve Sax, Dave Engle, Chuck Knoblauch and Matt Garza all seemed to develop mental blocks with their throwing.

we had a catcher on our amateur team who had "the yips". The last throw he ever made as a catcher on a steal of second, was caught by the right fielder. Great arm, poor accuracy!

I think the Insurance commercials featuring "Flo" are one of the best series of commercials in TV history.

She's likeable, they're funny, and they keep em fresh.

 

On the other hand, whoever the lady is on the Toyota commercials is just annoying.

Isn't there some kind of obscure rule that allows a team to use the guy who made the last out of the previous inning to PR the following inning without removing the original runner from the lineup?

The worst announcers in baseball are the Orioles.

The Sparrows aren't anything to write home about, either.
