Don't make me angry...

Random musings...

1. Do you think if Votto had been named to the all-star game BEFORE today's game instead of later this week (when he will be named anyway), he would NOT have hit two HRs so far and the score would be tied? I do. (For those of you too young to remember, the title is a reference to The Incredible Hulk.)

2. How come Votto doesn't seem to have trouble with the dimensions of Citifield?

3. Did anyone else catch Keith Hernandez's comment when Travis Wood balked a runner from second to third with the pitcher up? He said that it had the effect of clearing the pitcher. Let that one sink in. Balks CAN'T clear the pitcher. The pitcher was already up (so he had already been cleared). The runner was on 2nd, so the balk didn't even break up the force play.

4. I think tomorrow's "text poll" should be a guess at Keith's BAC. In fact, that should be the text poll every game he broadcasts.

5. Am I the only one who noticed Pelfrey turning around to ask the second base umpire whether the 0-1 pitch to Drew Stubbs was a strike? It REALLY looked like he turned around and said "overturn that!"
