Baseball box scores

Are so stunningly beautiful to me.  They are little haikus, one of the finest examples of the objective correlative out there.

And, oftentimes, the little AP capsules that accompany them are so succinct and perfect as to be breathtaking, too.

They are little jewels hiding in your newspaper that many do not even know about, pass over, ignore, etc, ...

And, I like scoring games, as well, which produces another type of lovely little poem, too, one more prosaic.

Hamilton cf    5 4 5 8 0 0 .406


"He hit a baseball. The dude's on fire. What do you want me to say?"









It is the end of my week, sort of, no Two Days Off Dance today, ...



All my love,
Ardent

My new favorite Ranger is

Koji loves to get batters out.
Koji Uehara (pronounced Ko-gee Wuh-hara).  The Rangers got him at the Trade Deadline from the Baltimore Orioles for Chris "Crash" Davis and Tommy "Big Game" Hunter.

Koji is Japanese, has a beard, looks like he is like my height (not tall), and wears his pants above his navel.  And he loves getting guys out.  He loves baseball.  He gets so pumped up and excited w/ each out.  And when he ends an inning he high-fives every single coach, trainer, player, bat boy, whatever in the dugout.  As soon as I find a better video of him I will post it.

Oh, and he is a fantastic pitcher, too.  He is one of the Rangers' two new shiny set-up guys the Club just acquired.  And we have him for next year, too.
