KenKo and Vince had lunch at a deli today, a #29 sandwich: turkey, chopped liver, and cheddar on rye.
Then they started talking about having Ray in the booth tomorrow. Vince said it was going to be a tight fit.
That brought up the 16-inning game. Ray, Ken, and Bill were squished together for six hours. They then took Ken Pries out for "dinner" at, like, 3:30 in the morning. Ken Pries had the world's largest sandwich. "The Mile High." He was ill for two days after that
Don't call the game! I want our bench to beat the Yanks in a full 9 innings, so they won't be able to say "Well, if the game hadn't been called, we'd easily have come back against Oakland's bullpen..."
While watching MLB.TV while Gaudin was warming up and camera in dugout (on Danny & Chavvy), our former batboy Adam is with the team. He kept walking in and out of the frame.
Lead story: Down Hideki Matsui, down Gary Sheffield, the crippled, handicapped, half dead Yankees were powerless against some other team. Jeter still had the heart to DH. God bless him. Speaking of Jeter, let's count down his 10000 greatest moments in the month of June.
where telepathy fails, logic can step in sometimes
See... if a "parent" comment in the DLD generally prompts an average of, say, 4 replies (including replies to replies)... I'm guessing that today's DLD either had about 120 "parent" comments, or it turned into IM Central.
Or not. Rouse stroked a clean single to right field in his first at-bat to open the third inning and came around to score on Jay Payton's two-out single.
"Makes for an interesting debut," cracked A's manager Ken Macha.
