Everything will eventually come to an end. So try to savor the moment. Cuz time flies, don’t it. The beauty of life, you gotta make it last for the better. Cuz nothin’ lasts forever. -Nas
Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! Just a little one today. An itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikini one today. That she wore for the first time today.
Maybe you missed it. Maybe you missed the Bombers oh so heartbreaking loss at the hands of Carlos Guillen and the Deetroit Tigers. Walk-off bomb by Carlos Guillen and the Deetroit Tigers. Spanish bombs, yo te quiero infinito. Yo te quiero, oh mi corazn. Woo doggy! Walk-off bomb by Carlos Guillen and the Deetroit Tigers at 3:30 in the morning. If you missed that, you probably missed this.
You probably missed Placido Polanco’s errorless streak of 147 games come to an end. 147! Yowza! I got nuttin’ but glove for you, baby. I got nuttin’ but glove for you, honey. Polanco’s errorless streak of 147 games ended in the first inning. It ended on a Got Melky Cabrera chopper that Polanco fielded flawlessly. But Captain Caveman was on first base, and Polanco tried to run him back towards the bag and then throw on the run. Caribbean Queen now we’re sharing the same dream. And our hearts they beat as one. No more glove on the run. The throw pulled Marcus Thames centimeters off the base. Centimeters I tell you! Safe! Error. If Casey Blake were playing first rather than Thames, maybe, just maybe, the streak would still be intact. Maybe not.
As it is, the streak is over. Greer is putting the ball into play. He gets it out deep. Havlicek steals it. Over to Sam Jones. Havlicek stole the ball! It’s all over! Johnny Havlicek stole the ball. Over at 147. A record for major league second basemen. So lets it hear it for Placido. Let’s hear it for the guy who set the record for the most consecutive chances without an error by a second basemen. Lets hear it for the guy who set the record for the most consecutive errorless games by a second baseman. Let’s hear it for the MVP of the 2006 ALCS. Like my man John Lennon always says: All you need is glove. Glove is all you need.

UPDATE: SAT. Night. 2:00am. Baseball Tonight. Polanco’s error. It wasn’t an error. Well, it was an error. It was Marcus Thames’ error. Not Placido Polanco’s error. Capiche? The streak continues. 148 and counting.
