... at least it wasn't a bogus infield fly call this time.

Armando. Andres was his big brother that played with the Expos a long time ago.

Obviously,Joyce has problems at first base.

God I love the human element. That call being incorrect increased booth my enjoyment and the legitimacy of the game much more than taking 20 seconds to get it right would have.

Oh of course, it's Ibanez, who I have not seen get an out in about 4 years. Every time I watch him he's hitting something far and important.

Re: Postseason Scoreboard watching....

Of course, the key to winning playoff games is to bring Andy Pettite out of retirement and to sign Raul Ibanez.

There is no God.

Oh and throw Chris Carpenter out there. He hasn't pitched since before taxes were due but he'll be Cy Young.

But for you Reds, your best pitcher wil pull an oblique on the fifth pitch...

And he was pinch-hitting for A-Rod, no less.
