Baseball Primer Newsblog— The Best News Links from the Baseball Newsstand
Friday, May 09, 2014
Milwaukee Journal, May 9, 1914: Canal zone baseball fans have awakened to the horrors of war. The aforesaid horrors hit them in their tenderest spot and they will not be slow to forget.
...
For four days recently there was not a score of any sort received. In halls where matinees are given and other places where the returns are posted fans waited in vain for the service, but no bulletins came.
...
The wires were loaded down with war news, matter from correspondents at the front and exchange of official advices between Washington, Vera Cruz, and other points. Talk is heard of possible suits against the cable company for failing to supply the contracted service.
“No baseball scores? You’ll be hearing from my lawyer.”

i see he’s hitting .148 or some such. they are up too late for me to leverage my mlbtv
what’s the scoop here? is he just lost at the plate? just horrendous bad luck? didn’t tell anyone he lost an eye this offseason?
of course that has to be it. completely understandable
thank you
and best wishes to the gyorko clan
Joey noted the possibility yesterday, but his noticing may not get noticed by everyone else.
Weird start to the season. The AL is as tightly bunched as I can remember (12 of 15 teams have between 15 and 18 wins). And the NL's divisions, which looked like it had clear favorites (or perhaps co-favorites in the NL East) before the season started, is being led by none of them.
Oh, and the NL may finally be ready to reverse the AL's decade-long interleague gap (though their edge has been cut to just 31-30).
I didn't see that for obvious reasons, but now I'm horrified that we're on the same wavelength. I need to think seriously about the choices I've made in life.
Over that same time frame, he's allowing a .166 batting average against, or .50 points below his own BA.
.063/.073/.090, 117 Ks/2 Walks in 192 plate appearances
Sigh. I just hope Dr. Andrews does a good job on him when the time comes.
I think it was Morosi who picked them as a Wild Card on XM Radio at the start of the season. I laughed and the hosts gently mocked him but everything that has played out so far for them was basically what I remember him saying would happen.
That won't happen 'til after the Marlins win another series and trade him and Stanton for prospects/salary relief.
So... next year?
And almost nobody remembers that he was shot by a crazy lady in a Chicago hotel room 17 years before Eddie Waitkus.
