Pulling the String

"Baseball...is a leisurely game that demands blinding speed, and the only one in which the defense has the ball. It follows the seasons, beginning each year with the fond expectancy of springtime and ending with the hard facts of autumn." - Baseball: An Illustrated History

About Me

The Radley Porch is my venue to explore perspectives in literature as well as other areas of my life. So come on up the steps, curl up on my virtual porch swing, and relax!

Web Gems etc.

How about Lewwww's defensive display last night? I didn't watch Baseball Tonight, but I'd be shocked if he didn't have a web gem. . .

How about 16 hits last night?

How about 12 runs last night?

How about 5 doubles last night?

How about 1 triple last night? (Lewww!)

How about a two-run homer last night?

How about 7 shut-out innings and 8 Ks from Mr. Radke last night?

It just goes to show - you may be out for the season, but you can still have a grand old time. GO TWINS!

Congratulations, Albert!

Pujols set another Major league record last night. He hit his 30th home run of the season - a two-run shot off the first pitch John Smoltz offered him. He's the first player to ever hit 30+ home runs in all of his first five seasons. wow.

I guess opponents must consider him pretty dangerous. The 6th inning: Atlanta trailing by two, a man on second and one out, and righty Smoltz intentionally walked righty Pujols to face lefty Edmonds (no slouch in the batter's box). Hmm...
