Does it really make a difference to you ?

[CaliforniaRaisin]

I don't think anyone on the field saw that ball. AR didn't and Howry looked like he was unsure as well.

 

BTW, why noe visit yet by Larry?

 

I would think one of the IFs or Howry would have seen it - the fans around home plate apparently did.

Walker popped out to second base

That would depend on the location of the sun.

Anyone else think Barfield might make a strong run at NL ROY?

Barrett seemed to have totally lost it in the sun.

Wuertz in to pitch for the CUBS

Johnson singled to center field

[Fred Hornkohl]

Greene grounded into a FC, 9-6, Johnson out at second

[Jon]

Now that was bad baserunning.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Giles doubled to right center field, Greene to third

very Alou-like.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Now that was bad baserunning.

 

I'm not so sure about that. Hairston almost caught that ball on the fly.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Piazza flied out to right field, Greene scored, Giles holding second

I'm not so sure about that. Hairston almost caught that ball on the fly.

 

turning his back to the play was a no no, but Hairston did almost get to it. pretty good range.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

maybe the Marlins will move to Las Vegas. that would be a sweet team with their farm and good attendance figures.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Eyre in to pitch for the CUBS

I'm not so sure about that. Hairston almost caught that ball on the fly.

If it's caught, he still would have had plenty of time to get back. It would have taken a little bit of time to get a throw off on a full extension dive like that. He didn't really need to start retreating.

 

And he wasn't even watching.

They should go to Las Vegas and be called "The Las Vegas Gamblers" with Pete Rose as manager.

A good farm and an attractive place for big name free agents just b/c of location.
