Sit down, son. Not you, Tad, you can keep standing.
This country has sooo many crankloons!
One just called me trying to sell me his sister, or something.
“Dood, are you a phooking alien? Don’t you know there’s a World Series on?”

Little known is the fact that the story in The Natural is based on a true, real-life story…
Aye! It is. A True story…The story is of an original femme fatale, perhaps – where, in the late 1940s, a young woman, Ruth Ann Steinhagen, 19-years-old, developed a crush on Eddie Waikus, the handsome first baseman for the Chicago Cubs. So complete was her obsession that she insisted that her mother set a place at the dinner table for him every night. He never showed, of course, but for being unaware. Not surprisingly, Steinhagen also had a shrine in her room dedicated to Waikus, and it was reported that she would get the vapors every time she went to a Cubs game and was in the vicinity (along the first base line) of Waikus. Understandably, she pitched a fit when Waikus was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies at the end of the 1948 season – and as the real life story goes – it was then that she decided to kill him.
When the Phillies were in Chicago to play the Cubs during the 1949 season, Steinhagen set her trap – she booked a room at the hotel where the Phillies were staying, and sent a compelling and convincing note to Waikus, urging him to come see her. She gave a false name and her room number, and the promise that “…it would be to your advantage to let me explain [further].” However, improbable as it may seem, Waikus agreed to meet Steinhagen in her room. So, he went to her room, slowly walked in, and sat down – and that’s when she pulled out a gun – and shot him!

Utley for Forsythe? Seriously?
And Morrow was in a groove.
Over thinking it, Dave.
Yeah, bring in Watson so he can hit the batter. BRILLIANT!

Good job, my dear Watson, hit a batter, walk a batter, and give up a smash that went straight at your guy. You shoulda stuck to cricket.

Roberts is stoopid to bring Jansen in now.
Wow, that last strike call against Barnes was almost in his arm pits!
The Astros have these umps in their pocket! :-/
