Posted by: SDave at June 27, 2005 10:11 PMhooray for Joes!
Dazzle's stars of the game:
3. Li'l Luis
2. Oz
1. JOE MAYS
but I agree with Batgirl about giving Joe Nathan co-boyfriendship with Joe Mays for bouncing back and sitting down TWO bitches with no runs.
so I just got home from the game, and I have a couple observations.
during the Star Spangled Banner, there were a couple loud thunderclaps when the Cheerios choir got to "the bombs bursting in air." hee hee. it was pretty funny. and Matt Stairs seemed to get spooked a couple times from the thunder.
my first thought when Oz didn't realize he'd drawn a walk: "it's a Li'l Lew!"
GREAT win, boys!

Posted by: Word Smith at June 27, 2005 10:23 PMIt was definitely a day for Joe Joe Mojo. And the best part is, as evidenced by the pictures above, is that the Joes got souvenier baseballs to take home! Great game, guys!

Posted by: kafumbly at June 27, 2005 10:30 PMI honestly feel bad for that Greinke kid. He is a good young pitcher who doesn't deserve to be tossed into the fire that is pitching for Kansas City.
Posted by: Eric at June 27, 2005 10:37 PMJoe Joe was a man who thought he was a loser, but he had a second chance.
Posted by: insider at June 27, 2005 11:46 PMEric, I totally agree. not that I wanted him to win *tonight*, but that poor kid just gets NO run support... except for the one time he gives up 11 runs, and his team comes back to tie it up, only to lose in extra innings. otherwise, they give him nothing.

BG... um.... *drool*
my Joe all hot and sweaty..
^5 on the BOD selection - Mays was amazing from what I could tell because I couldn't watch the game (saw the #1 webgem though!!) and Nathan needed to have that successful outing.
I am sure you have made them both very happy men.
