Perhaps, rather than firing Tony Bernazard, they should have offered him that roster spot and he'd always be on call to charge the mound at an appropriate time or maybe random times as well to keep the other team off their guard.Schnecknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12468344.post-89966283258300105832009-08-06T10:45:16.907-04:002009-08-06T10:45:16.907-04:00Almost forgot.
To the main point of your entry to...Almost forgot.<br /><br />To the main point of your entry today: Thinking about it now, it would have been something if David Wright charged the mound (especially with that team and that manager), but I've been so used to this team acting like a bunch of wusses that it barely regestered with me at the time. <br /><br />And come on, it's David Wright we're talking about here, this is what he is: nice guy, good player, fan favorite, face of the team, and, unfortunately, not a leader.<br /><br />I don't mean that to sound as harsh as it does, but that's about the only way I can put it.James Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03964207789326645793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12468344.post-53765937614648262462009-08-06T10:29:19.716-04:002009-08-06T10:29:19.716-04:00I'm with you, M, Citi Field was clearly built ...I'm with you, M, Citi Field was clearly built upon an ancient Indian burial ground.<br /><br />I eagerly await the last game of the season, where the coffins and skeletons of the dead will heave up out of the outfield grass, followed by the stadium imploding and being sucked into another dimension. A very appropriate end to the season, I would think. And hell, it'd be worth at least two sequels.James Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03964207789326645793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12468344.post-66212300718233282772009-08-06T09:02:05.996-04:002009-08-06T09:02:05.996-04:00Technically, all people are animals.
The problem ...Technically, all people are animals.<br /><br />The problem with all this charging the mound is that it doesn't solve anything. And it can't solve anything until MLB dispenses with the stupidest rule in all of sports, if not all of human history: that it's OK to be the first person to attempt to crush someone's skull with a fastball, but not the second.Grammarian@mindspring.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15579194551324905130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12468344.post-65123760546930090782009-08-06T08:37:10.017-04:002009-08-06T08:37:10.017-04:00The injury situation long ago went beyond ridiculo...The injury situation long ago went beyond ridiculous, but it just keeps getting worse. David Wright is darn lucky he hasn't missed any playing time yet; I fully expect someday soon to see the third base bag explode like a live grenade.MetFanMachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09191993046517726498noreply@blogger.com
