STEP TWO

Go Low

STEP THREE

Hang On And Get Help!


What a precious win that was last night! What made it extra special was it was heard via dulcet, crackling tones of ACTUAL AM RADIO. Wayward O wants to congratulate lately maligned manager David Q. Trembley for inserting pinch runner Felix Pie for Godly Catcher who hit clutch double in ninth inning.

Wayward O would like to gently chide Pie for clapping not once, but six times, when he was called safe at third base on Brian Roberts' bunt in ninth. Mr. Felix, that is a ONE CLAP situation. Six claps there is too many. But you are young and Wayward O is apparently one of few who is still glad you are on Team so you get the special one-on-one advice from Blog.

There is no real need to go on at length about Mr. Aubrey because greatness speaks for itself.

Wayward O will leave you with interesting little nugget from haughty New York Times report about last night's game, which will give you clear idea of how League regards Team:

[W]hat surprised [K-Rod] and catcher Omir Santos was how selective the Orioles
had suddenly become. “They swing at almost everything” is how Santos described
their approach.

Incidently, since Times openly speculates a Huff-to-Mets trade, who exactly on Mets or in Mets organization does newspaper think is going to be counterparty?

That was a great win for sure. Team showed what they were made of .......
It would appear that Wieters' bat is waking up.

Berken looked crest fallen as Trembo took the ball. But he threw 6 great innings. He was obviously left out there 1 inning too many.

I guffawed at Pie's "Pursuit Of Happyness" Clapping at third..... a little overkill....

just watched last nights replay because us yankees fans needed something to get the bad taste out from that 0-3 loss and series loss to the nats. nothing better than k-rod blowing a save to cleanse the pallet. did anyone else notice felix pie seemed to have lost a contact lens in the home plate celebration scrum.
