Tonight was like every other night there is a televised Cardinals game, I was happily lounging in front of the TV listening to the commentary, and enjoying my team's very comfortable 8-3 lead. All of a sudden a ball was scorched out to left field. The seconds went in slow motion as I saw the possibility that Chris Duncan could easily mis-play this ball and our lead would evaporate. AMAZINGLY!!! he caught the ball with veteran LIKE finesse.
Notice my wording here I purposely used the term like.
One of the announcers however saw fit to make an incredibly ridiculous comment. His name Al Hrabosky and he said "Chris Duncan has made more spectacular catches in the outfield these days than Jim Edmonds."
Now I realize Jim Edmonds has not been his normal self but his a glove toting veteran of the major leagues who is still majorly contributing to this team including in TONIGHT'S CONTEST!!
YES, Duncan made a great play and it had a tremendous impact on our chances to win this game and ultimately the series, but do not EVEN if you a former player and announcer and feel you are a MAJOR authority on all things St. Louis Cardinals compare a virtual rookie to a well established, all-around, body sacrificing veteran who can cover more ground faster than Hrabosky could ever dream!!
There I feel better now.. WARNING don't soak erroneously about someone I care about! You might just wind up in the blogosphere!!

Maybe Jim is a little distracted, with his new relationship! I think he's dating someone named "Pat"! ;)
