I think that's your Tyler Clippard answer.<br /><br />I told Stan that some commenters asked for cheaper beer, even if it means crappy swill. He laughed. I also told him I really appreciate the carry-in food policy and hope they don't change it.<br /><br />I asked very specifically when Rizzo would lose the "acting." Stan totally dodged the question. Mike winked at me and gave a thumbs up.<br /><br />On Nick Johnson, I chatted with Stan about it, and he said they really weren't in a rush to move him, that his OBP is nearly .500. I told him I agreed with that.<br /><br />I didn't ask Stan about his personal accessibility. I just don't really see that, personally. So I let that one go.<br /><br />I also didn't ask about the season ticket service because I'm not a season ticket holder and I didn't really feel like I was prepared to engage on that topic.Stevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14109288910583404941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2074246508221440257.post-13621044495555166082009-06-21T11:18:15.471-04:002009-06-21T11:18:15.471-04:00That makes sense.

I think the umps take a reasonably (and properly) narrow construction of "assist." Harris was able to run and Tavarez didn't hwelp him do anything he couldn't do on his own.John O'Connorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08014476389355562158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2074246508221440257.post-46816859977803848262009-06-21T10:41:10.811-04:002009-06-21T10:41:10.811-04:00Rules question: Julian Tavarez virtually carried ...Rules question: Julian Tavarez virtually carried Willie Harris the last 30 feet to the plate after his walk-off home run. Doesn't this constitute interference, making Harris out? Of course the game was already won when Alberto Gonzales touched the plate, but doesn't this mean the final score was 4-3, not 5-3. I know this is trivial, but I was sure you could not touch the runner until he had touched the plate.lawprofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08124641882407302545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2074246508221440257.post-13982128621214144542009-06-21T09:58:59.510-04:002009-06-21T09:58:59.510-04:00Thanks for mentioning the Chesapeake Bay Foundatio...Thanks for mentioning the Chesapeake Bay Foundation!

I'm a fan of exactly one team in the whole wide world and I want to be able to cheer.<br />That's why I don't belong in a press box in this role.<br />But I agree it's nice to do something like this now and then and I wish I'd been able to take part.<br />Having eaten a bunch of that food over the years, I feel your pain. Baltimore had by far the best press box food I've had - and it was eight bucks back then.MikeHarrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15120210292656990693noreply@blogger.com
