Nolan Ryan claims that was his best pitch. Cole Hamels is still a punk. And that’s saying something, considering it was Bryce Harper he plunked.

And that is a completely positive statement. I miss Joe Strummer. :(

As for the Safety Pin in the Cheek comment….you are thinking of the Sex Pistols

I knew he regretted it after the fact, but wasn’t 100% sure who it was or what exactly they were smashing.

Is it because I’m as much a historian of baseball as a fan? This was not a Cubs moment or a Braves moment. It was a baseball moment. I heard the game on radio, so I didn’t see flying glove but I heard what sounded like the end of a career that had been so promising. The announcers preceded Woods’ first pitch by reciting his stats: an “enormous ERA” fattened by too many walks and hits. Their commentary seemed to foretell what happened. Woods’ failure was not exactly nails in the coffin, but it had a dreadfully sad overtone. The senior athlete who had returned to his favorite arena among the people who so well revered him had, step by step, batter by batter, hit, walk, walk, hit, given up the game. When I heard that he walked off the field and threw his glove into the stands, it was the real world of people who depend upon their bodies even when bodies say different.

On Letterman last night Jared Weaver did the Top Ten.
Dave was kidding him about throwing inside on guys and giving them a little “chin music” when they crowd the plate. Jared said he would give guys a “Texas Bow Tie” if warranted cause’ he likes to bring a little “Old School Baseball” to today’s current “New School Baseball.”
True Story.
Apparently the “old school baseball” mindset is far more prevalent than people choose to admit.

Demp is leading the Majors with a 1.02 ERA. Garza has a 2.67 ERA, and Samardzija is at 3.02. The back of the bullpen was supposed to be a strength with Woody and Marmol, but has instead been a disaster. Russell has been solid, and Dolis has developed nicely. Pitching is not this team’s most glaring problem. Outside of LaHair and Castro, no one else is hitting consistently. Demp has that stellar ERA, and zero wins to show for it because they don’t score any runs for him.

I wonder if he’ll take off his jersey and throws that in the stands if he gives up 5+ runs, walking off the field in boxers and cleats.

Maybe it was his favorite glove and he immediately regretted throwing it into the crowd.

Y’know, like that guy in The Clash who smashed his favorite guitar in that famous photo.
