Cesar Carillo from the U!

That explains the throw at Smoltz's head.

If Smoltz pitches well, I wonder how many people will point to

Dave Duncan
Yadier Molina
NL familiarity
Worse opponents

and ignore that his peripherals in Boston were pretty good.

you forgot the pixie dust

like asking how many intelligent baseball people are there

Wow, John. Save some for the frigging mound.

I'm not sure why Ryan is taking the heat on that botched DP. He was ready to catch it with his glove an the feed from Schu was too far to his right, so he had to try to snare it with his right hand. Not Ryan's fault at all.

after winning it all this year john will go into the hall as a card.

You should still always snare it with your glove. He had enough time to grab it with the glove and at least get ONE out.

that's not really how it looked on the replay I saw, but you could be right. I'm almost positive he could've easily caught it with his glove hand. The ball went right across his chest.
