That is why the walks and errors kill them .

BM is just too awful to listen to anymore.<br /><br />Toward the end of the game they went on and on about how the double steal "set up" the Cardinals' subsequent runs. Am I missing something? Wouldn't the walk to Descalso have put those runners on second and third anyway?Tom DePlontyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04131969835612594121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-23505936154396787752013-10-24T19:36:21.284-07:002013-10-24T19:36:21.284-07:00“that no honored dead were in fact arriving, and t...<i>“that no honored dead were in fact arriving, and that the planes used in the ceremonies often couldn't even fly but were towed into position.”</i><br /><br />If only the bombs were fake, too.laura khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05524593142290489958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-62510837380037719002013-10-24T14:48:17.313-07:002013-10-24T14:48:17.313-07:00Because god forbid we don't get our dose of mi...<i>Because god forbid we don't get our dose of militarism in baseball.</i><br /><br />The US military is very good at lying and theatrics. <br /><br />For a recent example:<br /><br /><a href="http://rt.com/usa/pentagon-arrival-ceremony-hawaii-071/" rel="nofollow">The Pentagon has been holding phony “arrival” ceremonies for fallen soldiers</a> at a base in Hawaii for over seven years, according to recent statements made by the United States Department of Defense to NBC News.<br />Bill Dedman, an investigative reporter for NBC, said that the Pentagon confirmed this week “that no honored dead were in fact arriving, and that the planes used in the ceremonies often couldn't even fly but were towed into position.”<br /><br />***<br /><br /><a href="http://www.presstv.ir/detail/2013/10/12/328921/pentagon-admits-to-phony-ceremonies/" rel="nofollow">NBC writes</a> that the ceremonies have been known among some of the military and civilian staff at the base as The Big Lie.<br /><br />***allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673233312198832937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-1220882352020536322013-10-24T14:00:43.188-07:002013-10-24T14:00:43.188-07:00Ha ha, Keith Foulke was there!

He borrowed the uniform with the approval of the Corps.
