Man, did Sports South make a big deal about Frenchy kissing Kotsay on Sunday! How many times did they replay it? I counted at least three. I was waiting for a slow motion replay with commentary about his technique. Personally, I found nothing especially hilarious about it. It’s pretty much in line with what we… Continue reading Kissgate ’08

Post-Opening
Two things that are kinda breaking my heart right now: 1. The idea that we don’t have too much longer with Skip on the radio. He’s cutting back his travel due to health reasons, and it’s forcing me to think about years ahead, when we won’t even have him for home games. I’m much more… Continue reading Post-Opening
Another Weird Season Bites the Dust
Jesus, what a game. It was truly the kind of thing only that Lynchian joke of a ballpark in Houston could deliver. Skip made it 100% enjoyable — I barely noticed that the regular starters who hadn’t already boarded the charter sucked on a comical level — and I’m really, really glad I recorded his… Continue reading Another Weird Season Bites the Dust
DRAMA!
So I woke up this morning feeling like I’d only dreamed a baseball game last night, after all the off days. I came to the computer and read email for a few minutes before I remembered that there would be AP photos and quotes to harvest, brand new! And boy were there. Apparently the second… Continue reading DRAMA!
“He Wants to See the Kid Hit!”
Chipper’s fury after that check-swing call by Davidson was pretty glorious, and based on his post-game quotes, I don’t think he calmed down for quite awhile afterward. I wonder if all those dogs they had at the park yesterday were barking along with him? The official site collected this quote on the incident: “Looking at… Continue reading “He Wants to See the Kid Hit!”
“Like An Alimony Payment”
The only things I really enjoyed about last night’s game were the Wrath of Bobby and Skip comparing the game to an alimony payment, which makes absolutely no sense, but was wonderful just for that reason. Much like Skip’s first wife, I guess the Nationals deserved the win. They’ve been through a lot. I’m now… Continue reading “Like An Alimony Payment”
One Week At Disney and Skip Is Already Contemplating Murder
How awful were those green hats? I was embarrassed for everyone involved. We lost to the Cards this afternoon, but no big deal — Smoltz got hit but he looked fine, Wicky looked sort of terrible. I have a bad feeling about Wicky this season, I don’t know. I hope I’m wrong. Anyway, we were… Continue reading One Week At Disney and Skip Is Already Contemplating Murder
“Already in Midseason Form”
Now it’s officially baseball season (I know I’ve said this about three times so far this year, but for real this time): Skip is back! He called our game against the Blue Jays today with Pete, and I was grinning like an idiot the entire time. Even if he’d done the whole thing pretty dry,… Continue reading “Already in Midseason Form”
