Well, Toronto came back only once in three attempts against us from a 2 run first inning deficit, i sure hope we can do it once in well, one attempt, i hope.
I'm also curious 'bout the etymology of the phrase. I'd say it is also a favorite of mine, though i couldn't say why, other than it sounds good. Anyway, i dig it; it is dug!
Sorry... I'll try to do better. At least we're keepin' the scope of the jinx within reason. Only 1 batter at a time (i think) But that brings to mind... We're always worried about jinxin' players in the game. Have we ever given thought to not jinxin' the front office?
No, just a twang, as we get it in tune for a wash tub bass... I'm sure we'll right the ship with the up coming home stand. After all, we got Pino pitching tomorrow!
By Parmelee, I think he's got it! (Yeah, guess an Escobar hit wasn't as important as i thought it might be) Now let's see if the pitching can hold it...
Nice hit for Escobar down the line. Only he got gunned down at second... Is that due in part to a shallow left fielder because of the Monster? (As well as a superb throw, of course) Seeing where it was hit, i kinda thought it was shoe-in for a double...
Yup. He's got two singles, (wound up at 1st the 1st time, and at 2nd the 2nd time. I'm hoping he doesn't stop at 3rd the next time) and had a ball over his head kick off his feet/shins into the bullpen for a ground rule double.
