“If this were a prize fight, they would have stopped it quite a while ago.” – Vin Scully, after Ethier’s 2-run double in the 8th inning last night.
“Beanie Babies” – Jon Weisman’s wittily titled Dodger Thoughts post this morning, in which he wrote, “Events like these tend to divide fans into two camps — those who find the tradition heartening and those who find it infantile.”
If you find the pitch-protection tradition infantile, I’m afraid you’re too grownup for baseball itself.
Trying to intimidate the other team by charging their locker room after the game, on the other hand, is pretty bush league.
Besides, it was a cutter on your thigh, not a fastball at your head. I’m surprised you even felt it, seeing as how you’re so much like a freight train. ;)
