If Mike Thurman is going to keep pitching like that, he should learn from Tony Armas and figure out how to swing a damn bat. Of course, putting the Expos lineup up against Randy Johnson is kind of like lining up a bunch of baby turtles in front of a convoy of semis. Places to put your feet up. Less horns and seat banging. Fewer fifteen-year old girls in asspants .
Small crowds do suck, but they have their advantages.
And I'm a bastard anyway. This one I met Kellison for, and we guarded against the inevitable blowout by getting slightly arsed ahead of time. He and I sat up near the top of the terrace and I kept bouncing popcorn off the back of that damned horn guy's head, a desperate act that encapsulates both the blessing and the curse of drawing more than 4,500 people. The idiot never noticed, anyway. They're letting Miller hit, which means he's going to pitch the eighth.
