And look how many ground balls to the left side would be singles with no one over there.
Like a douchey pipe and a monocle that it totally doesn't need for seeing?Quote:

The earlier remark about Colon at the plate make me think that these two should co-host a new season of Man vs. Food. Food would not have a prayer.
FYI, the great intos and the throwback unis were awesome. Wondering how running that gauntlet of glad hands felt for guys like Thomas, Schlosser and especially Hale on the one hand and Gearrin, Medlen and Beachy on the other. Medlen and Beachy had what looked like bionic arms. Minor is at a rehab start, so he wasnt part of it.
