    Nice piece of hitting by Panik.
  2. John Balkabella
    Jansen hurt? Buck right on top of it.
  3. John Balkabella
    I hate the shift.
  4. John Balkabella
    Don’t like our chances against this pitcher. Not Tabler, Buck says he’s a big strong guy.

    Ross Stripling being competent for the rest of this year would be a huge factor in how this season plays out. Gimme five.

    Is Riley Adams playing himself into a more useful trade chip? Nice couple of days. With the Jays “depth” at catcher, I wonder if he and another B prospect or two could bring in some much needed relief help?

    And I have 26 more on you, Spank. Damn, I remember when old guys used to post on internet message boards, now I am one of them. Enjoy your youth guys. It goes away in a flash.

    No, no you are not. Suppose it is relative.

    Only the only. By that I mean that old Expos stadium announcer. No walk up music required for that guy. Forget my French, but when he said “Le numero whatever, the catcher, John BOCCaBELLa. The crowd would always go nuts. Yes, small thing are important.
  10. John Balkabella
    Not exactly as planned.
  11. John Balkabella
    Whew.
  12. John Balkabella
    That sucks.
  13. John Balkabella
    Oh, dear.
  14. John Balkabella
    An easy 101.
  15. John Balkabella
    Got lucky.
  16. John Balkabella
    Getting interesting.
  17. John Balkabella
    Wtf????

    Spank, I remember when we ran out of catchers in midget. Donned the tools of ignorance for the first time. I admit, couldn’t stop closing my eyes when the guy swung. We got through it for the win.

    Love this game. Watched it on TV long before I played it. Early sixties. Dad knew I loved it so tossed me in a league in Ottawa. I was the worst player ever. Hoped for walks. Now, you must understand, I was first generation Irish, and nobody coached back then. Sink or swim. I sank. Not til I got back to Nova Scotia and the best athlete in town took pity on me and showed me how to hold the bat and where to put my feet in the batter’s box. That seemed to work. Didn’t do so bad after that. Quite well, actually. Any stories on how you guys got started?

    Evil slider.
  21. John Balkabella
    Lol
  22. John Balkabella
    Did I say Chatwood rocks? Why, yes, yes I did!
  23. John Balkabella
    What is a strike?
  24. John Balkabella
    Damn, Chatwood rocks.
