From an exuberant Giants fan

Thank you, sir.

I quote here a fan on a Phillies blog:

So a misplayed flyball by our leftfielder on a ball hit by a guy we let go cause he couldn’t field cost us the game.
What's Halladay saying to the ump there at the end?
It's actually something about the pitch prior to the double

but I like what it adds to this.

It's driving me nuts, if only I could read lips.
"I am a whiny bitch and couldn't keep my cool after a bad call"
I'm probably paraphrasing

but I’m sure that’s the gist of what he was saying.

Thank you

beautiful. What a beautiful game that was.

That was fantastic.

I was watching the game with my parents (Mom follows MLB because it’s a way to have something in common with me, Dad is interested but not stat-heavy) and burst out laughing when Rauuuuul did his thing. After I pointed out (and Dad remembered) Rauuuuul’s atrocious defence back when he was a Mariner, both parents and I took great pleasure in appreciating just how awful of a fielder he can be, and in appreciating fielders like Ichiro! and Guti. True story, and a fun evening.

Didn't he make a nice play later?

Running in fast, extended basket catch?.. Maybe I imagined it.

He runs like a catcher.
I miss him so not at all.
I hope this is getting added to the sidebar.
