Bookend homers is when a player hits a home run in the 1st & 9th innings. I don't really mind that one.

Today’s contributions:

From post to pillar: when an outfielder runs to catch a ball.

Something about turning your bat into sawdust, indicating a tense situation for a batter. He used it on Donnie. I think right before his game-tying blast.

"And you know Donovan is squeezing the sawdust out of the bat for a second chance"--referring to Donovan wanting to make up for not driving in a runner in a previous at-bat.

Mrs Mortimer and I were half-watching a game the other day and she suddenly sat up and went "what the hell are pillows?"

I honestly don't mind it. I'd still rather just have stadium noise than commentary, and I'd rather have my ears chewed off than listen to Brad Thompson, but Caray is fine.

To copy vernacular from that other great sports poet, Jim Ross, it would have been a slobberknocker if I'd done that.

Haven't you noticed suddenly I'm bright and breezy?

Because of all the beautiful and new things I'm learning about Chip?

Day by day.
