Note to Anibal--leave your valuable watches at home locked up and or hidden.

Anything less than 5 wins in this 4 game series is unacceptable!

Not a given at all he's going to lose. He's given us a great chance to win 8 games so far this year, to be honest about it.

Sanchez pitched darn good against the Dodgers. I expect more of the same.

Upon review, it appears this date in 1952 was a very good day...
1952 After purchasing Hank Aaron from the Indianapolis Clowns for $10,000, the Braves sign the 18 year-old Negro League player and assign him to the Eau Claire Bears, the team's Class-C farm team. The future home run king will play second base, being named the Northern League's Rookie of the Year when he hits .336 and nine homers in 87 games for the Wisconsin minor league team.
1952 Warren Spahn, in the Braves' 3-1 loss to the visiting Cubs, goes the distance, whiffing 18 batters in 15 innings. The Boston southpaw, who homers for the team's lone run, becomes the sixth pitcher to compile 18 or more strikeouts in a game, but the first hurler who needed extra frames to accomplished the feat.
And the rest of MLB had some pretty neat (as McCann would say) stuff too..
1870 At the Capitoline Grounds in Brooklyn, the Cincinnati Red Stockings see their 130 game consecutive winning streak (81 official games and 49 exhibitions) come to an end, losing to the Atlantics in extra innings, 8-7. During the game, in an effort not to hit the ball to George Wright, the opponents' slick fielding shortstop, hometown third baseman, and captain, Bob Ferguson, bats left-handed, becoming the first-known switch hitter in baseball history.
1919 Batting only .198 in 25 games since being acquired last month from the Seattle Rainiers of the Pacific Coast League, Joe Wilhoit scratches out a first-inning single to begin the longest consecutive game hitting streak in the history of professional baseball. The Wichita Jobbers' outfielder will hit safely in 69 Western League contests, collecting 153 hits in 297 at-bats for an astounding .515 batting average.
1963 At Cleveland Stadium, Willie Kirkland becomes just the second major leaguer, joining Vern Stephens, to hit two extra-inning home runs in the same game. The Indian outfielder's 11th inning round-tripper ties the game at two runs apiece, and his homer in the 19th results in a 3-2 walk-off victory over Washington, extending the Senators' losing streak to ten games.

I almost feel like I take him for granted a lot, and I think we all do. We really don't talk about him much, and we haven't for a few years other than talking about his wrist. On the other hand, I'm not sure what we're supposed to say. Should all of us say every day what a great player Freddie is? He's just so incredible and so steady, it's easy to just let him keep doing his thing and sit back and quietly enjoy the hell out of it.
Feeling love for the guy is easy too since he's obviously a good guy and loves playing the game, always seems to be having fun and making it fun for everybody around him.
