My old man got another one! He managed to get a nice hop back to the mound; another one hit my poor sweetie on the inside of his right ankle (OUCHY!!) but it wasn't enough to slow him down. Yet again, the on-field microphones caught Greg releasing a swear... but thankfully, this ump realized that he was upset with himself. (Yeah, guys, when he swears a millisecond after his release - and before the ball hits the mitt or the ump gives a call - he can only be swearing at himself). I happen to find it very cute when Greggy swears during his starts... Yes, I'm a Mad Dog slappy, what do you want?

Zman had an awesome showing again today, with a firm start and a grand slam from Michael Barrett to pad the score. I love Zman; he managed to keep himself under control today and not flip out over anything, which is definitely a good thing considering that he has had his moments over the years and even this season... wait, wasn't it my old man who tried to kill a water cooler? Uh... never mind... ;-)
