Just like yesterday, here are some random things that I witnessed or experienced during the day as I throw up an Air Claw for the cool shit, and score an error for the not so cool shit.
Claw– David Wright comes through with more late inning RBIs in the form of a two run jack in the seventh inning.
Error- The Mets drop a series to the effing Fish. A series they should have won and had plenty of opportunities to do so. They now find themselves below .500…..again.
Claw- Manny Acosta pitches two scoreless innings and was in line for the win.
Error- Bobby Parnell’s slider.
Claw- for Mother Nature, raining out my son’s baseball tournament shortly after I discovered it was an hour and a half behind schedule and we likely would have been playing until midnight.
Error- for me, because for some unknown reason I can never spell the word eighth correctly and always have to rely on the automatic spell check to spell it properly. Ironically, I spelled it right in that sentence after at least two months of always failing to do so.
Claw- goes out to John for sharing his Claws and Errors today, some of which made the list. Thanks for contributing!
Error- goes out to the very same John for suggesting we give a Claw for Emilio Bonifacio and his 23 game hitting streak. A 23 game hitting streak is impressive, but I just couldn’t raise my arm up to claw a Marlin.
And finally……
Claw- for nine-year old Jayden making that sweet catch. Most nine-year old outfielders don’t even see that ball as they are too busy picking dandelions.
Error- for the guy operating the pitching machine. Sweet baseball pants Coach!
