Embarrassingly Horrible, Baseball Edition

~ Kerry Wood just got picked off, like a fucking idiot Little Leaguer, after getting walked on four pitches. Easy come, easy go? Or is it yet another Cubsesque failure to implement the fundamentals?

~ From the back cover of How to Speak Dog: Mastering the Art of Dog-Human Communication, by Stanley Coren--and mentioned by Chip Caray and Steve Stone re: Ron Santo--"Parlez-vous Doggish?" It makes me wish I'd written it.

~ Michael Barrett seems to have a gigantic noggin and I've yet to see him in a batting helmet without looking like it can't fit over his huge melon, but he can hit the ball a freaking mile and he calls a good game.

~ My favorite non-Cub? Augie Ojeda. He's in the Minnesota Twins system this year, playing for the AAA Rochester Red Wings.

~ Baseball is definitely not helping get this grant application written.
