Joe Davis is the play by play TV announcer? I think that's his name. It was he who said it. When he said it, I thought there was a bit of anxiousness or sheepishness in the delivery, almost like he shouldn't say it. I liked the intent. If he is from Michigan, if he did do it to pay homage, I can see where the opportunity presented itself, he went for it, but maybe a bit of nerve hit him. Well, and it just dawned on me that Smoltz probably grew up listening to Ernie as well, and he was in the booth, too.

That was something to see. Everybody heard the verbal hat tip to Ernie earlier in the game? It was a strikeout to end one of the earlier innings. "And he stood there like a house by the side of the road."

Duren plays defense as another wish?

Scarlet in the kitchen with the revolver?

Don't nobody offer Lee any orange slices.

Maybe that's who I was thinking of rather than Brantley? Edit: Yes, its actually Brantly and he was traded by the Tigers to the Marlins. July 23, 2012: Traded by the Detroit Tigers with Brian Flynn and Jacob Turner to the Miami Marlins for Omar Infante and Aníbal Sánchez.

Given the way Houston was going after Cunningham, I was surprised other guys weren’t bringing the ball up a little more, at least crossing half court. They can’t have Harris bring it up occasionally?

About 150 sleeps until Opening Day. Not that I checked the math on it this week or anything.

So the Dodgers won’t sweep the _insert American League team here_ in 3 games?

That first half was dreadfully slow and choppy. I watched the replay on the FD app. I noticed the time was a few minutes after 3 hours, so I assumed the game must have gone into overtime.

Kind of an open question but I’ll play off of this post. As far as rule 5 and Cs go, it would seem to me that it’s tough to roster a C via rule 5 unless he’s absolutely ready for playing time. And, sure, there could be some position player shuffling with the other roster spots from time to time cover other position players if a rule 5 guy is a 3rd C / DH / 1B on an active roster. I think the Marlins took Rob Brantley as a rule 5 pick. But it doesn’t seem like grabbing a C in the rule 5 ever happens. I’m probably wrong and it’ll be pointed in a few moments.

It’s worth discussion, but I don’t know where the line should be drawn. It does seem like a quantum leap from no gambling to pro gambling once leagues finally realized the revenue they could reap from gambling.

Indeed. But I’m really tired of some of the dumb fouls that Stewart and Duren incur on themselves.

Pretty sure whatever league I was thinking of had a combo of high school teams and sponsored teams. So, you'd a see a line score of Whitmer HS vs Toledo Merchants. And pretty sure that those kind of line scores were only in the summer.

So, is he just incredibly stupid, or is there a whole lot of iceberg under the surface?

Is Steve Ballmer the happiest guy in the NBA today?

Chaun-CEY. B-B-B-Busted?!

I might be remembering the American Legion line scores. I'm a baseball and numbers nerd, so I was like a moth to a light with those in the Sunday Blade. I know I remember the quirk where there were doubleheaders and teams would alternate home/road for the two games.

Easy there, whippersnapper.

I’d feel more confident about getting back into this game if the Pistons were playing the New York Giants.

I think so. I think there was a summer league for high school ball players by that Fed League moniker. I know I saw those line scores in The Blade. This was probably mid 80s that I remember.

Fortunately he turned down the 8 year extension offer.

D’oh! How could I forget Cory Snyder?

I think about Carlin's baseball vs football skit when seeing how football fields and stadium get seemingly cushier and more advanced.

Travis Fryman was my wife's favorite ballplayer. Unfortunately, that was when he played for Cleveland.
