Give Willie Harris a Real J.O.B.

~~~




There are times at a ballpark when something happens that cannot possibly translate over TV or radio or print. Willie Harris is like a factory that produces these moments, and a fine one rolled off the line last night. The NY Mets must hate this guy.

The post preceeding this one now seems a bit dire. Yes, DC lost, but they stayed in the game. Odalis Perez pitched well enough to ... hopefully ... get his ass traded before September. Even Manny Acta stayed in the game, despite his very best efforts to get tossed out (nicely described here).

Oh, and despite it being TEDDY T-SHIRT NIGHT, he lost again. Some cheesey mascot wannabe they named ThatCat for some untold reason came out of nowhere and cheated him out of the victory. We are starting to feel a little cheated, too. Sure, it's a great story line that Teddy never wins, but we sure could use a few more story lines. Where did Martha Washington go? She was in one game, flirting with TJ (!) and then gone. Bring her back and let's see if #3 can presidential seal the deal. Better still, bring out Sally Hemings. That would sell some tickets.
