Sorry beelove, I didn’t mean my comment as a correction to what you said, but I can see why it read that way. All I meant was that they had been at .500 and were trying to get back to it after slipping under.

FTM, rudy is right – that was right after carrasco got hit. he was down for a bit before getting back up, tossing a few practice pitches and deciding he was ok to stay in the game.

pete, thankfully that was not a rally monkey but was instead … the “can you make this face” game on the scoreboard.

lynniemac, that’s right but they they’ve never been above .500, so to do so would be the first time for LHV to ‘push above .500′ … they’re gonna need a few more days to do it since they got swept in both games of yesterday’s doubleheader and are three games under .500 now.

thanks errbuddy!

@fuck the mets

I’m assuming that was the part of the game that influenced the “despite getting drilled in the ankle with a line drive” part of the blog entry.

@Lynniemac, correct. Franzke and LA were talking about that the other day during the gamecast.

Actually, they’re trying to get BACK to .500. They reached that milestone for the first time in franchise history on Sunday the 28th.

@SJ

‘Philli’ is short for Phillis Wheatley (c.1752–84), American poet; born in Africa. She was sold as a slave at age eight to the John Wheatley family of Boston. She was educated by them and then accompanied a member of the family to London, where her first volume of poetry, Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral (1773), was published.
