I don't want to jinx Martinez, so I won't say that my fears about all the left-handed hitters in the Phillies' lineup have not yet been realized thus far.

Man, if Bourjos could hit.

Hockey interlude: If Detroit wins tonight, will the headline in tomorrow's paper be "Red Wings beat the Bishop?"

Sutcliffe compared Wong to Robby Alomar. That just happened.

Why, did he spit at the umpire?

No. And nor is he dating a 6-4 lesbian professional tennis player to fend off quesitons about his homosexuality.
 

That would be an interesting combination considering Wong is about 4'6"

"Martinez seemed irritated ( himself ? ) ,( ump ? ) .
Between the ears is the only thing holding him back."

It seemed to be a little bit of both. If ESPN's graphic is to be believed, the plate umpire didn't have a very good night. There were about a dozen balls that were called strikes, and vice-versa, though I'm not sure either team benefitted considerably.
Tsunamy still tends to be excitable, but his eruptions appear to be less frequent, and in a little bit more of a positive direction. I'm thinking specifcially about how he reacted after Bourjos hit the triple last night. Maybe it was a little over the top for a regular season game in April against the Phillies, but given the choice I'd rather have a teammate who seems to care.
