I'm not saying Ankiel's first start in Memphis is going to be crazy, but maybe the Redbirds should consider moving that one game back to the Fairgrounds. Oh, everyone is pulling for Ankiel to make it. And if anything can straighten the guy out, it's the combination of Gaylen Pitts and good barbecue. But it will not be easy at the start. It just won't.
People slow down to look at accidents.
They go to auto races wondering if they'll see a crash. And they'll come watch Ankiel because they're not certain if he'll throw it to the catcher or kill one of the Peabody ducks. Personally, I suspect David Waters. My own favorite entry in the sign wars is the one that appears on Linden. Someone doctored one of the pursuit team's standard signs with a pen.
