If he lives close enough, I'll go knock on his door and ask him to sign it..lol
No, I don't think it would have rolled foul. I don't understand why the 3B was playing that deep, especially the way they were f*ing around with the infielders which in my opinion is a very bad idea because on bang-bang plays there's gonna be confusion. Worked out great for the Phillies.
Phillies up 2 games to 1 and really haven't played their best baseball at all.
I wondered the same thing, but I think it had too much of the grass and not enough speed to get across the line. Still, there was no way they were going to get Bruntlett at the plate, so it might have been worth a shot to let it go.
funny thing is if the bases aren't loaded Bruntlett isn't running on the crack of the bat. Chuck out managed this game....actually I dont' even know who the Rays skipper is. Won't matter, no one remembers second place.
Some notes from Philly writers over the last week -
Bud Selig/Tropicana security: Before the game, one of the media elevators was being held/reserved for the commish. So the rest of us waited. No biggie. Until, that is, medical personnel arrived. They were pushing a very old man in a wheelchair. He was sucking oxygen from a tank, and the EMTs were clearly in a hurry to get him out of there. But when they went to get on the open elevator, they were turned away. "This is for the commissioner," the guard said, even though he was told the situation was urgent. So the paramedics and the man in the wheelchair had to wait for another elevator. Sad and true.
Brian Knobbs: He's an obnoxious meathead who used to be part of a pro wrestling tag team called "The Nasty Boys." He's a huge Rays fan. They absolutely love him in Tampa. Go figure.
Rays Tattoo: On the concourse at the Trop, I saw a dude with a Rays tattoo on the back of his neck, just below his hairline. What's worse: If he got the ink while Tampa was a perennial loser, or after the Rays started winning?
The Killer B's: Never thought this would happen, but I have to defend Howard Eskin. He was on an ESPN radio show in Tampa called "The Killer B's." Eskin did his Eskin thing and ticked everyone off. When he was done, someone called in and said that the local "rednecks" were going to organize a "lynching party" for Eskin. All of which made the hosts chortle deeply. Cause, you know, lynchings are hilarious.
When it was announced that the Backstreet Boys would sing the national anthem before Game 1, a female friend of mine said, "I bet they won't be as bad as you think." And she was right. They were worse. As soon as they were done, Steve Lindsay, an executive producer for CBS3, quipped: "I've never been so close to booing the national anthem before." . . . In a special thank you to their fans, the Rays' ownership doubled the price of parking for the World Series. Couldn't happen to nicer people. . . . Speaking of the citizens and the parking situation: I'm fairly certain that the parking attendants in Lot 2 had more fingers than teeth. They looked like a bunch of extras from Deliverance.
Stop ringing those cowbells- By Frank Fitzpatrick - Inquirer Staff Writer
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Every city's fans react differently to a World Series.
In New York, they manage to balance blasé and arrogant. In St. Louis or Milwaukee, they see it as some sort of civic validation. In Philly, we get drunk.
Here in Tampa-St. Petersburg, they've apparently confused the event with Smurf Night at the county fair.
They ring cowbells and get blue mohawks.
I am trying to fathom what might drive a Floridian to get a mohawk, let alone a blue one. Perhaps it's the traffic. Or maybe Katherine Harris.
Regardless, the pro-sports experience here tends to be as shallow and insubstantial as a local TV newscast. So it's probably not surprising that the area's television and radio people were absolutely gaga yesterday over the decade-old Rays' first World Series appearance.
The level of talk-radio discourse here made WIP seem like an adjunct to the Sorbonne.
One host spent most of his show ripping Philadelphia for its ugly women, its crime, its nasty fans, and the fact that unlike Tampa, "nobody goes there in the winter for vacations."
He then turned to baseball, where he was equally profound: "The people of Tampa Bay," he said, "appreciate baseball more than the people in New York City."
He failed to explain why - if that is so - the Rays until this season were regularly outdrawn by dog shows.
On the morning TV shows, one lengthy segment was devoted to cowbell etiquette. Apparently, it's OK to ring them when the Rays get a hit or score a run. But not when there is no reason.
(Note to Tampa: It's baseball. There's never a reason to (a) ring, (b) bring, or (c) own a cowbell - unless you own a cow, which considering all the blue mohawks, might be an explanation.)
Another morning host spent considerable time eating Tastykakes, after which the heretical witch said she preferred Hostess products.
Hostess!
This could explain why the rolls here taste as if they've been made with salt water.
If you believe in omens and foreshadowing and a hint of the supernatural, ya gotta believe there was no way the Phillies were going to lose.
Country music superstar Tim McGraw was enlisted to deliver the first ball before Game 3 at Citizens Bank Park last night. It was fitting. Steve Carlton, the winning pitcher in 1980 when the Phils won their first and only world championship, threw out the ceremonial first pitch.
McGraw’s father, Tug, got the save that night and danced an Irish jig after striking out Kansas City’s Willie Wilson to end the game, a memory that is indelibly etched in the mind of every Phillies fan.
Tug passed away in January 2004, only months after re-enacting the famous scene on the day the Vet closed down.
But Tim did more than bring out the baseball last night. Phillies sources confirmed that, in a gesture so quick and subtle that few in the sellout crowd even noticed, he bent over and sprinkled a small amount of Tug’s ashes on the mound.
So if you’re one of those people who believes in omens and foreshadowing and a hint of the supernatural, it’s not surprising that the Phillies gave away a lead late then came back to beat the Tampa Bay Rays, 5-4, at Citizens Bank Park.
Or that a team that didn’t have an RBI hit for the entire series finally got its first one when catcher Carlos Ruiz’ swinging bunt with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth scored Eric Bruntlett from third for the game winner.
Prior to that, the Phillies had been 1-for-32 with runners in scoring position. And that lone hit didn’t drive in a run.
Thought I heard a strange song playing during the Rays intros lat night. Sounded like a kids song. Maybe they'll do it again tonight.
From today's St. Pete Times - to answer the reporter's question, "Shove the cowbells up your hucklebuck a$$es and we'll consider letting up."
"What the heck was that song that was playing on the public address system when the Rays lineup was introduced, something about "little fishes in the sea'' or something? Come on, Philly, you have more class than that, don't you?"
We really wish you wouldn't keep missing our baseball practices this year. You've missed alot of our basic fundamentals of baserunning. We know you are talented, but please try and take the basics more seriously.
Phillies just caught two breaks -- first the pitcher's mental lapse for going after Rollins at the plate instead of turning two on Howard, and then the ump's missed call of Rollins being tagged out.
