The widow is gathering nettles for her children's dinner; a perfumed seigneur, delicately lounging in the Oeil de Boeuf, hath an alchemy whereby he will extract the third nettle and call it rent. ~ Carlyle

We need more wins.

That would probably help with the passion.

I haven't seen very many losing teams with spirit, fire, passion, what have you. But most winning teams seem to have that in spades.

Ya' know, for all the three-run homer talk, Weaver usually had a Buford or Shelby or Bumbry at the top of the line-up and Berlanger laying down bunts in the two-hole.

But Weaver was a fox, not a hedge-hog. He could drop some small-ball on you when small ball was required.

Spot on.

Robinson's .423 OBP is not sustainable in any sense of the word.

I know for some he is the flavor of the month, so just wanted to point that out.
