Correct mechanic around here is "strike, no catch" while giving a hammer and followed by a safe signal, if that is what PU is thinking. It should not be a mystery to anyone. Strike is not followed by out signal because there is not one yet.

That's a relief...and I'm still not bitter from the 2002 World Series at all...

Ouch!! :-) that open fist hurts way more than that closed fist...I guess all I'm saying is that if your partner is going to give you a secret sign, he might as well signal so everybody else can see it too...esp if you're going to appeal to him anyway.

When Bonds overran that flare down the line in Game 6, and with that Little League maneuver of his, tried to pick it up with his glove and dropped it, and allowed Anderson to get to second, resulting in the go-ahead run being in scoring position, necessitating his playing shallow for Glaus, who dropped a fly ball behind him and opened the door for the Angels' comeback and win ... man! After that game, my bud reacted the same way I did after the Donnie Moore debacle 16 years earlier: I-know-it's-not-over-but-there's-no-way-we'll-win-after-this. He was despondent before Game 7 was even played. It is fittingly wonderful, however, that Bonds--a guy who literally dominated an entire season and post-season offensively--would make a Little League defensive blunder that would directly cost his team the World Series. All the juice in the world won't help you make a fundamental effort on defense. And defense preserves leads. They needed a complete player out there, not some Herculean slugger who doesn't put out. There are baseball gods, and they were at work in that one. Last edited by Kevin Finnerty; Fri Mar 27, 2009 at 01:11pm.

Hey, that's how I felt in '85. Most people forget that Denkinger's call was in game 6... not game 7. Over time, though, I've gotten to the point where I really don't mind. I figure that's the last time the Royals will get a chance to win the Series anyway!

Bret Saberhagen plays in the senior league games around here. He mainly plays shortstop.

Most Cardinals fans also forget the follow up single by Balboni, the can of corn foul pop up dropped by Clark, and the whipping the Cards took in game 7, 12-0, complete with Whitey Herzog ejection.
