So is the boy who smashed the grand slam. And the boy who hit for the cycle the other day. And the boy who's the starting pitcher for the Twins tomorrow. And... <br /><br />;-)k-brohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11767485845479339809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6494675973354073448.post-25762751286166274142009-05-25T13:56:58.359-05:002009-05-25T13:56:58.359-05:00How bad is it that I saw "HBP" and thought it mean...How bad is it that I saw "HBP" and thought it meant "hot ballplayer"? It took me a moment to realize it was "hit by pitch." :)THE GRAMMARPHILEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15302841458166143428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6494675973354073448.post-56180434384461786332009-05-25T08:56:47.507-05:002009-05-25T08:56:47.507-05:00In a preseason post on his estimable blog, Joe Pos...In a preseason post on his estimable blog, Joe Posnanski said that if anybody can hit .400 for a season again it would be Joe Mauer.

Really no different when Gardy gets kicked out of a game, it just seems to light a fire under the guys and they go out there and get after it.<br /><br />My family is the same way.
