even if i have to watch it on tv and listen to Steve Quis

Too nice

Bud is trying to be more assertive, but it just isn’t in him. He’s not going to pull a Pinella and go and light some ump’s shoes up just because he wants to take the media spotlight away from his players. I dunno, but I’d like to see Buddy rip some bases out of the ground and throw some garbage cans and ball buckets out on the field….

The last time Bud went off

He practically killed one of our players. And you want him to act out?

killed me

I once had him at 0-2 at Pace’s field (his home field) and I purposely threw the ball 6 inches off the plate thinking I would set him up for a curve….instead I set him up for a 395’ shot to right center… he was the best pure hitter I ever saw, and I used to get to play with a lot of players that were pretty good….

and even though they lost, i was fascinated by the way that the mets had relief pitchers warming up in the 6th inning even though glavine was throwing pretty good. it was almost like the mets don’t need to give up 4 runs before warming a guy up. it was strange.

Here comes the Heat:

“The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.”

Who is watching the interview with Kouz. When she asked him about KT’s comments and he basically said he didn’t even hear about them because he isn’t paying attention?!? Isn’t that exactly the type of thing he was talking about? He is saying how morale is good in the clubhouse, just when KT says he has no idea how in the hell morale could be good? Things are much much worse than we thought then.
