You gotta recognize a good play, whoever it's for. I just wish the local media would do the same, and give credit where credit is due, rather than just appease the homers.<br /><br />Thank goodness the local paper is not my only option.bluzdudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05991272670722362652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-329507352453931374.post-47403448994017716852013-08-03T13:42:00.518-04:002013-08-03T13:42:00.518-04:00A straight steal of home? Dude, that's awesome...A straight steal of home? Dude, that's awesome! Who cares if it was the visiting team? I've seen fans give an opposing pitcher a standing ovation if they're throwing a no-hitter. Sometimes you just have to tip your cap and enjoy history. I would have cheered for Villar after that. Why not? it's not like they're arch rivals in the heat of pennant race.<br /><br />Hometown newspapers are horribly biased. As a Red Sox fan in Yankees country I notice it all the time - they take quotes and events completely out of context, so that their guys look good and our guys look like incompetent jerks. There's one guy who has to be 100 years old who writes about the glory days of NYC baseball, and in comparing the classy and humble Joe DiMaggio to the surly and cantankerous Ted Williams, this writer implied that Ted was an arrogant jerk who never did anything selfless, ever. I guess Sid Dorkman must have conveniently forgotten WWII. And the <a href="http://www.jimmyfund.org/abo/red/tedwilliams/facts.asp" rel="nofollow">Jimmy Fund.</a> <br /><br />I guess that's why there's Yahoo, ESPN, and other (usually) unbiased news outlets - for those of us who are smart enough to cut through the bias and fidn the real story.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-329507352453931374.post-83297045708459722732013-08-01T18:06:54.453-04:002013-08-01T18:06:54.453-04:00Well, those were the highlights… otherwise, the O’...Well, those were the highlights… otherwise, the O’s only managed 3 hits all game long. It’s amazing they even won. (Houston walked a bunch of guys.)<br /><br />I love going to The Yard as well. It’s a nice thing to have in my back yard, so to speak. In fact, I’m heading there again on Saturday.<br />bluzdudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05991272670722362652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-329507352453931374.post-89970588332486045552013-08-01T12:05:12.055-04:002013-08-01T12:05:12.055-04:00Sounds like an exciting game.
