    Perhaps it was the Babe's physical conditioning playing a part in that? I'm not sure the way things were done during Prohibition means it has to be the same way today.

    Isn't his routine right now being a two-way player? I guess I don't see why that would be such a huge stretch to do the same thing in the minors and try it out. Of course that might be a reflection of why my baseball career ended at 15 (actually it probably ended at 12 but it took me three years to recognize it).

    He is still swinging at some of the good pitches, though. I've noticed him foul off several pitches straight back. It's not just standing there with the bat on his shoulder. Much better judgement, not laying off obvious strikes but not flailing away. I like what I've been seeing.

    #Free Max Murphy! Been a while since I got to write that.

    Hopefully he gets more time in the outfield than Danny Santana between now and then...

    So we now have as many wins as we had last year at what, Memorial Day?
  7. big dog
    You know, there is both winning and losing in baseball. I prefer the winning.

    Winnah!!!

    Let's go Kintzler.

    Buxton is so deep in center he could probably buy a hot dog.
  11. big dog
    Hit a line drive to deep left field, very nice running catch. Buxton would have been standing there waiting for five seconds and caught it behind his back, though.

    I think Bert was joking about being on vacation, not actually suspended.
  13. big dog
    Yeah, I really thought that had a chance. Even though it stayed in the ballpark it took a very good catch to turn it into an out, too. Would have been fun to watch Buxton fly from first.

    Buxton's pushing that OBP up. Triple Digits, Baby!

    Matt Belisle. Kicking ass and taking names.

    Vargas was a little underwhelming there.
  17. big dog
    Yes, and by all accounts I'm quite happy to have done so.

    Phil Hughes: Unmatched Efficiency who'd a thunk it?

    This team has been far less painful to watch in the field than last year's nightmare crew.

    I apologize for not announcing that April 1 was Cheap Trick Day here in Illinois, one of the few recent acts of the General Assembly that actually became law. Anyway, at least it's still Cheap Trick Week! Anyone here whose mother served with the WACs in the Philippines? Just wondering.

    Nah, it's the pizza oven/mold Domino's uses to turn out a "deep dish" pizza in 8 minutes. Otherwise known as French Bread with Ketchup.
  22. big dog
    I forgot to use the "tongue in cheek" icon there. But I do confess to having tried Sbarro a couple of times out of desperation. Turns out being desperate isn't enough to make it taste like pizza.

    I really like the NY style pizza I got from a takeaway place near Times Square, but somehow when I buy it in a mall in the Midwest it isn't the same. Must be the oven. Or something. Maybe the servers here are too friendly.

    If you try Chicago deep-dish pizza from 10 places you will get about 8 different versions. Saying it isn't good just means you aren't trying. Lou Malnati's is phenomenal, as long as you get it baked in the restaurant (especially the one on the North Side). The take-and-bake is a pale shadow. Geno's East never disappoints me, probably my all-around favorite. You can get a sausage patty that covers most of the crust. Some really like Pizzeria Uno, but it doesn't work for me. I grew up and went to college in Minnesota (and love Carbone's) so you won't get me dogging the really thin pizza in square pieces. My most recent favorite pizza place here, where I live north of Chicago, is that style, and it's phenomenal. But oh man, the right deep dish is a special thing. And RB, your Chicago-style hot dog has to have both a dill pickle and sweet relish or it just ain't happening.

    OK, so Sano has successfully - handled a grounder and throw to first - gone back on a popup - come in on a popup - flattened a baseball Gotta say...I'm feeling a little giddy right now.
