it's the new vorp

The Astros and Nats are so bad that they played an 11-inning game and neither team was able to hold on to the lead for more than a couple innings. So neither team won. Game suspended until July.

Doug Glanville's been writing articles for the New York Times, and his latest one is about A-Rod supposedly tipping pitches to opposing batters. I thought the insight into tipping by a former centerfielder was pretty interesting.

He wrote an amazing article about Harry, too.

Good shtein.

Wonder what the story was on this...and its obvious why they sucked back then. Don't focus on playing, focus on the seating charts!

One season, after an alleged back-of-the-plane incident had violated the rule that states "what happens in the back of the plane, stays in the back of the plane," the team became divided. The jury of Phillies debated whether all non-players should be banished from the back of the plane. But that would lump Harry into the realm of the guilty, which he was not. Day in and day out we discussed the implications: could we really remove a legend (and virtual teammate) who had grandfathered into the players' zone out of sheer respect?

The debate went painfully on, even though under normal circumstances the transgression would have almost certainly ended in harsh baseball justice. But Harry's immunity was so powerful that our manager had to step in and end the dialogue on the issue, which was rapidly becoming more of a topic of discussion than the team we were about to play. I think we had more Harry meetings than we had defensive meetings that week. Because whichever side of the matter a player came down on, no one wanted to offend or hurt Harry in any way.

So much for the screaming minions in Boston who claimed for years that he was just a freak.
