Player A, Ignitor, value that transcends numbers..
Are you sure that this wasn't written about the Mariners?  Because you could easily replace Eckstein with "Bloomquist", Reyes with "Bloomquist", "Leadoff homer" with "Gritty groundout in which some replays showed he was safe" and "3-4" with "0-4"....

I think you made that up and messed with us.  Yep.  You hacked Yahoo, and changed an article about the Mariners.  I'm not sure it's possible to convince me otherwise.

Spiezio
Not in the starting lineup.  

There's only two explanations for this:

A) His gritty leadership from the bench is wasted if he's out in left field all game.

B) Top of the 9th.  Bases loaded, 2 out, tie game, Heilman pitching.  Pujols is due up, but La Russa has prepared for this very moment.

TLR: "Pujols, grab some pine!"
Pujols:  "You're pinch-hitting for me?"
TLR: "Yes. You see, you're a right-hander and so is the pitcher. If I send up Spiezio, a switch-hitter, it's called playing the percentages. It's what smart managers do to win ballgames."
Pujols:  "But I hit nine home runs off Oliver Perez today!"
TLR: "You should be very proud of yourself.  Spiezio, you're up!"

[Spiezio proceeds to get hit on the chin with a pitch, knocking him unconscious and giving the Cards the win.  TLR is hailed as the greatest genius in baseball history]

That was good,
but the best moment was when Mr. Burns unveils his all-star team of ringers:

"Honus Wagner!  Cap Anson!  Mordecai "Three Finger" Brown!"

"Uh sir, I'm afraid all those players have retired and, uh, passed on.  In fact your right fielder has been dead for a hundred and thiry years."

"Damnation! All right, find me some good players. Living players!  I want you to scout the American League, the National League, the Negro League!"

Mike Scoscia's working in the nuclear plant and he's like "this power plant stuff is such a relief from the pressures of playing major league baseball!  If I screw up there, boom, the press is all over me!  Here, it's no big deal!  [dumps can of radioactive waste by accident]"

Tony LaRussa's questionable decisions...
Duncan, he who may win Rookie of the Year, a power hitter with patience is still left to ride the bench in favor of Preston "Just got K'd by Oliver Perez" Wilson and Yadier Molina bats higher in the order than Ronnie Belliard.

How has this guy won anything?

Rolen: "That was a tumultuous inning for number 27."

It truly takes skill to refer to yourself in the third-person, not by your name but by your uniform number.  Well done, sir.  You may expect a fruit basket from Rickey Henderson with the message

ESPN and MLB's puns suck.

Say goodbye to gravity and say goodbye to death. Hello to eternity and live for every breath. Your Time will Come.

ESPN's puns are horrible.
Anyone still have a screenshot of when they had "The Sweet Smell of Colon" as their title page article a few years back?  I think that was back when Bartolo won the Cy, but I'm not sure.

Two I remember seeing at mlb.com this month
"Mets have the "Wright" stuff."
"Mets preparing for "Maine" event"

A couple of there right now.

"Super Suppan takes home NLCS MVP honors."
"Chavez's "Amazin" catch gave Mets hope."

Say goodbye to gravity and say goodbye to death. Hello to eternity and live for every breath. Your Time will Come.

From last year:

Hey, come on
I have to credit the Diamondbacks beat writer this year for using the headline "Snakes on a Plane to San Diego" before an away series against the Padres.

Cards suck

Willie Bloomquist and Mike Hargrove suck

Nah.
Hargrove will be there all next season.  After the M's go 74-88, he'll offer to manage the team for another three years at only $1.5 million per year.

Howard Lincoln will take him up on his offer.

No. They hired him
so that there would be no threats to Grover's job in the clubhouse.
