Automatic For The People

When David Ortiz rounded third and headed home, he said his teammates "were kind of looking at me like a whole bunch of 10 year olds like, 'you're amazing'".

Can you blame them?

Although I'm sure everything has been said:
Doesn't anyone else think this is just a little weird?
Bizarre? Something?
I mean this is just not the way life or baseball actually works.

Too true yaz-tex. We've been very lucky around here over the past 5-10 years both in baseball and football. Pedro, Brady, Vinatieri and Ortiz just to name a few of the players whom you just have a conviction about. Players that just seem to be on a whole other level. It's really been great.

Y Papi es muy bueno

What a moment! It's now Sunday morning in Hartford, and with the rain shield moving north and east, the game looks iffy at best. I have a live link for the radar loop if you want to check it out, at my blog. You have to copy and paste, but only once. Thereafter, just return to it with the history function. The rain is moving the WRONG way, right AT our Fenway.

I listened to the Phillies radio broadcast of the game at work and the radio guys did not mention Myers's name (or any booing) once all afternoon.

So he regrets not having the wisdom to realize he should have beaten her in private, not out in public? That's great.

However, I didn't have a problem with him pitching. As the CHB wrote, he is innocent until proven guilty (despite the number of witnesses) and he still has a right to go to work.

McMoron and Buck talked about it. Buck said what you're saying, with strong condemnation for the act, but in defense of the man's right to work until judgement is rendered.

Even I agree with this. Plus every day he pitches is another opportunity for the public to voice their disgust at domestic violence by booing him. Charlie Manuel was quoted as saying he's sure Myers will be boo'd at home, too.
