Edward William Nottle (born October 22, 1939), nicknamed "Singing Ed" because of his avocation as a singer, is an American former Minor League Baseball relief pitcher and manager. (wikipedia)
I'm a neighborhood-bar kind of guy, anyway. I'd just as soon have a hamburger and fries as have a steak or a fancy meal. I like to be around people I consider my friends, and I've made a lot of friends in my four years here.
It wasn't like there was gonna be a breeze that would blow that fog away. That stuff wasn't going anywhere. And if we had gotten a breeze, that probably would have meant another storm coming in, and that wouldn't have been good, either.
I have had four wonderful years here, and I am not going to go home and mow the lawn. There are some great lawns out there, but lawns are left, center and right.
I think we're in good shape for the rest of this series, pitching-wise. I'm hoping I won't even have to use the bullpen tomorrow night (tonight) with (Grant) Dorn and Can (Oil Can Boyd) pitching for us.
We've got to get it going before the ninth inning.
I was real proud of the job Shad did,
We have a good bullpen when our starters can go six or seven innings. I feel we have the best bullpen in the league. We took a chance letting (reliever) Joey Cole go, but right now, I feel it was a good decision.
I don't think Dorn was his usual sharp self tonight. I really don't think he has had his really good stuff the last couple of starts. I don't know why, but that's how it looked to me.
Hector had a nice game at shortstop for us. I felt Eugene Julien was a little rusty out there, so I gave him the night off. Hector made some nice defensive plays in the field, got a big hit and drove in a big run.
Our bullpen doesn't worry about who gets a save. They just come out and do the job.
