Don’t be afraid, it’s just the cats at play. Don’t be afraid, they do it night and day. How very strange. -John Lennon
Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! I used to think Ryan Howard was a chicken I used to think he was a scaredy-cat. Yellow-bellied. A lily-livered varmint. That’s what I thought. I saw it in his eyes. I saw it in his eyes whenever a lefty came in with that slider. Just embarrassing. I didn’t see it last night though. Last night, the Pirates brought in left-hander Phil Dumatrait to face Rhino with the game tied in the 10th inning. Last night, Ryan Howard showed no fear. Last night, Ryan Howard went yard for the winner winner chicken dinner. Baseball’s extra special moment. Before that at-bat, he had not driven in a run in 13 plate appearances this season in which Philadelphia’s opponent took out a right-hander and brought in a lefty to face him. His last RBI in that circumstance was last Sept. 16 when he hit a home run off the Braves’ Mike Gonzalez. Maybe he just ain’t scared no more.
Public Spectacle:
Peace out homies. Six two and Even!
Need More? MLB, Philadelphia Phillies, Ryan Howard
