Quick Hits

In case you missed it….

Quick Hit #1:

On Friday, the Phillies traded a living legend (Mike Zagurski) to Arizona for a player to be named later…

The real question here is: How much later? And: Is that player one of the Uptons? Because we deserve at least that for the services of Baby Face Bronco.

If we may, we’d like to say a few words –

Bronco,

Ever since you graced our mound on May 25^th 2007, we’ve enjoyed watching your pitches land up and down in the strike zone, which was oddly what you did between the Major Leagues and the Minors in your illustrious career. Ever since then, the jokes we’ve all made about your fun, bare little face and big belly have said it all – you were fun. Not to mention your career 6.82 ERA and average fantasy draft order of 260, which only screams pure class. Please know that wherever you go – we will always be looking for you…

Love,

The Twins (and all of Philadelphia)

Quick Hit #2:

In the midst of watching the Phillies’ play terrible baseball, good ole’ Roy Halladay decided to take a break. He picked up a new hobby and tried his hand at coaching college football for the Marshall Thundering Herd. Albeit, he wasn’t successful because he went up against a very strong Virginia Tech team…

We know what you’re thinking when you checked the score line and saw that they lost 30-10… ‘Why were the boys so bad, Doc?’ The answer: Does it really matter? At least he didn’t have to watch the Phillies’ lineup swing aimlessly at minor league pitching staffs.

Please also take note how deep Doc is with his quote.  He’s only been in the game for a short amount of time, and he gives pretty insightful football information. You, Doc, are a gem.

Quick Hit #3:

In case you aren’t watching the Phils’ game tonight, in the 4th inning Placido Polanco was up with the bases loaded. With a full count Sarge proclaimed, ‘it sure would be nice for a base hit up the middle’ (or something like that) and then, IT WAS. Polanco hit a ball right over the second base bag and got an RBI.

Don't know why this picture is here? Neither do we.  

Bottom line: Sarge is officially psychic. He’s added another tool to his already staggering repertoire. When will he stop? Can he stop?

Quick Hit #4:

Sidenote: This is a fantastic present for us for our birthday. Wow. 

Don’t go to sleep on Jarmoir Jagr (pronounce the ‘J’s as hard Js. Not soft. It’s way more fun.) The man had two goals and one assist tonight in the Flyer’s big preseason game. (One in which they won 5-2) While everyone else is playing it easy because it’s preseason, the Flyers and Jaromir are on the bench screaming, “WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR? THE ICE TO FREEZE? LET’S PLAY!” (First Mighty Ducks reference of the blog… enjoy.)
