I know this is slightly pathetic and poor timed, but the individuals laughing at Turbo were my friends and I. We had gotten 3 tickets behind home plate from my friend’s brother’s ex-girlfriend and we just couldn’t contain ourselves after witnessing such a poor excuse for a bunt attempt. The next day at school, we discusses how we obviously were heard on the radio. One of us was going to register on here and claim the fame, but for some reason we never did. So for some reason, if anyone is looking back at old posts and is still wondering who the culprits are, now you know.

Well, everybody in Victoria gets all the Seattle channels so anybody who wants to follow the M’s can do it that way.

well, not at our hotel– besides, there was that fascinating story about the rehabbing Eskimos player to cover, not to mention TigerTigerTiger ….

I went to Victoria.

Oddly enough, there was very little coverage of this in the papers or on the news.

msb! I was getting worried. All this press and no linkages from you. Out of the country, that explains it. But between that and Lauren being sick, everybody was having to pull double pithy commentary duty.

The Morrow after-game (radio) interview was hilarious.

Question (paraphrased): “So how is it different coming in as closer, as opposed to being a setup guy? Is it different mentally for you? Do you have to prepare differently coming in in the 9th?”

Morrow: “Yeah… I start warming up about half an inning later.”

(He went on to actually answer the question, sort of, but that was brilliant)
