Apparently Mookie Betts has success as a hitter because "he keeps his eyes behind the baseball." 

Geez, if only somebody had told me 60 years ago that it was just that simple.   

Baseball-Speak has its own jargon,,,, just ask Yogi Berra

You say toe-may-toe; I say toe-mah-toe. You say jargon; I say inane babble.   

Mentioning Yogi along side the current crop of boobs is like comparing Secretariat to a broken down plow  horse, IMNSHumbleO.  

But, but, but, in the top of the 7th., whoever's announcing did note that "the game isn't over yet."

 More importantly:

AI ? Her skin looks plastic,,, where’s Ken?

Where's Ken?!?!?

Who's Ken?

Ya gots yer plastic Barbie doll and boyfriend Ken

Yep.... a bit too much makeup on that particular Ms. Redmond. Those eyebrows are downright scary. Gimme the girl next door...

Ya ... a pic of Yogi ^^, leading off [unintentional pun?] each page would be a big improvement ... with OR without make-up!!   I give up [fer now].  

Maybe I should wait a bit ... "It's not over 'til it's over." ... but to me it looks like the Dodgers have more guys willing/able to rise to the occasion.

Watching Judge struggle I almost felt sorry for the guy

Methinks Jeter has a point …

Has Boone provided his rationale?   It's seen periodically, and I used to think it generally was a manger trying to demonstrate his brilliance, but then with all the metrics (?) .... third time thru the order and all that ..... I dunno.   The "domino effect" aspect is intriguing ... sounds like the team was "questioning" Boone's judgment ... possibly not for the first time??? ....  "WTF?!?! Not again!?!?"   Otoh,  he's been around long enuff that there shouldn't be too many surprises.

Maybe it's a good thing that I generally don't pay much mind to the analyses .... "When I'm hungry, I eats. When I'm tired I sleeps. When I thinks, my head hurts."

Dunno,, 6 of one, half dozen of the other. It’s not like the Yankees have a weak bullpen,, and don’t forget, wadr Derek J, that limiting Cole to fewer pitches might keep him stronger for the possible deciding game later on.

...could be Ai generated

Yep, it’s fake,,,I didn't think Freddie would say those things

.... kinda glad I don't bother with most interviews, analysis/es, videos, etc.  [Heck I even snooze thru a significant amount of the play  .... I guess IF it's newsworthy it'll find me.]

Congratulations to the Brooklyn Dodg,,,,, err, the Los Angeles Dodgers for their World Series victory.

^^, ya, I guess [Actually I don't mind the Dodgers .... probably my next-to-the-Yankees favorite team.]   I don't recall seeing an inning like THAT ONE since playing L.L.  in Togo ... birthplace of Ted Hampson, btw.]   But, if I'm not mistaken pitchers and catchers report in about 90 days ... "Go Yankees, Go!!"

Yep, we had Hampson in our collection of Shirriff jello and pudding mix Hockey Coins…

Don’t remember this guy but I gotta give him credit….

Back in the day, we Montreal folks rooted for the Dodgers, due to their connection with their farm team, the Montreal Royals. It was Jackie Robinson's first professional team. We haven't forgotten.

I've become a bit of an old Brooklyn Dodger fan

... and just so as to not completely abandon DC ..... this from The Hockey News >> Hockey Beast >> my Facebook >> BHO:

Barry Beck: ”One time, in Colorado, Don Cherry’s dog Blue came waddling into our locker room. He came in and, you know how those dogs do it, he rubbed his butt on the floor - right in front of my locker, in the area I used to do push-ups. So I gave Blue a little whack with my stick and he ran yelping down the hall back to Don’s office. Then Don came in and asked who did it? We kind of looked around, said we didn’t know. The next day I got traded to New York.”

... It didn't concern immigrants, and though I can't recall the exact circumstances,  just yesterday my wife uttered that infamous  phrase, "It wouldn't hurt them to wear a poppy."  I offered up, "You can't say that!"  She's not a sports fan, but I'm pretty sure "she knew."    

I’ve known Amish people in Waterloo County in Ontario who are pacifists and therefore don’t wear poppies. ( and “those” people also painted their bumpers black because they eschewed flagrant displays of luxury)

otoh,,,,,,

Yep!   "Those people" is my other you-can't-say-that for my wife.  But we were using it before DC popularized (?) it.  We picked it up from other people using it to prescribe courses of action for FN people ...  eg. "Those people should ....... " and/or "Why don't those people just ....... ?"  It's gotten to the point of me sometimes [depending on the audience] just using it as a kinda catch-all, tongue-in-cheek substitute for FN.
