What was Krukow thinking? That was a medium to short throw by a right handed thrower going toward home and his left after an easy shoulder high catch. I ask you is there a better scenario. It was a strong, accurate throw...an excellent play, but not even close to being as difficult (or as important)as the catch Fred made months ago. It was difficult to understand Krukow's hyperbole. <BR/>Flannery made an even worse call a few days ago sending Holm to certain death, but they dropped the perfect relay. Flannery is a loser, pudre hack. He gets too excited to be maintain control out there.JC Parsonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00666659454815710731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7941261488380355005.post-9646464496887072162008-08-07T15:29:00.000-07:002008-08-07T15:29:00.000-07:00Nit-Picking:The "poor judgement by Flannery" was d...Nit-Picking:<BR/>The "poor judgement by Flannery" was described by ALL of the KNBR post-game radio dudes as "One of the greatest throws (by Francouer) I've ever seen."<BR/>So lay off Flannery.Brother Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04598578292252263393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7941261488380355005.post-44940117601243616292008-08-07T15:22:00.000-07:002008-08-07T15:22:00.000-07:00Supplemental data:Tim's 3 Ks in the eighth wer...Supplemental data:<BR/>Tim's 3 Ks in the eighth were the 3-4-5 hitters in the Braves lineup.

After some editing, the pictures end up looking nice. I was 32 rows back, to give you perspective. I will be sharing many more soon.<BR/><BR/>BTW your latest post is great. Man, you do good work. I'm sure I will be referencing it on RMC real soon. Thanks again for the quality reporting.JC Parsonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00666659454815710731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7941261488380355005.post-55361205088012660252008-08-07T13:10:00.000-07:002008-08-07T13:10:00.000-07:00We were thinking about you all day as we listened ...We were thinking about you all day as we listened to the game.
