Jose is our new Gibby. He needs way too many pitches to get outs.

The Pirates pitcher is a native of Newark, Ohio. When I lived in that fine state, one of the first things I was told that it's a single syllable, pronounced Nerk. That is all.

Circus Boy grateful.

Just saw them not care themselves into the lead.

Like martinis shaken, not stirred, dead horses should be beaten, not whipped.

Only two off-speed pitches to play off a not-so-fastball? Not worried. Sandy Koufax had only two pitches, and had an OK career.

O Street is prominent in Lincoln, Neb.

I'm rooting for the team from Grain Belt Country.

The Dobbinator is in the house. All hail!

I'm with the SwainZag! There's always time to panic.

The "Final Countdown" guy looks just a tad older in the Geico commercial.

Games like this make me reach for my brown pants.

All the squirrels in my back yard are barefoot.

Scarlett was the Baseball Annie of her day.

Magic number's at four. It takes the whole team to win. Yesterday it took the whole team to lose -- we hit well for one inning and pitched well for four innings, and that was it. Win the series today and we're pretty much golden.
