Rich Aurilia: Secret Interleague Weapon
All April we heard how Aurilia was slumping because he had spent his entire career in the National League and needed some time to adjust to the AL, and reminding us that he bashed 37 dingers just 3 years ago!. Well, here is his chance to shine. Facing those same pitchers he faced when he bashed 37 dingers just 3 years ago!, we should expect some good things these next few weeks. Me, I’d bat him 3rd in interleague games. And 4th.
Heard tonight on ESPN’s broadcast (thank you blackouts! Instead of seeing cincy/Oakland – although that is most likely a more exciting game – I get to watch the M’s): “you just know Melvin is going to blow his lid right now.” Ha.
OTHER THINGS I FEEL LIKE SAYING
That home run by our Secret Interleague Weapon was fair. The replay shows it disappear behind the solid part of the foul pole, but you can see it through the mesh fence part – shocking, I know. At worst, you can’t positively call it foul from that shot. However, the announcers, I assume because you can see it through the mesh, say how conclusive the replay is and that it was clearly foul. This incident aside, why are all announcers so terrible?
Well done by Freddy to get out of the 8th after two pop-up singles, one that Winn should have had and one that was luckily placed. That’s an inning that used to eat him up.
I hate Kobe Bryant.
