Spoon in Spoon, Stirring My Coffee
Congratulations to Dan Carlson for correctly naming "Spoon" by Dave Matthews Band as the Thursday Song of the Day. I should probably give Dan something extra for also noting that Alanis Morrisette sang backup vocals on "Spoon." Perhaps something Canadian in honor of Alanis? I know. Canadian Bacon. Congrats Dan.
We here at Running Down a Dream would like to extend a warm welcome to Yadier Molina as he enters the illustrious company of the Bill Mazeroski All-Stars. Other members include Aaron Boone, Joe Carter, Francisco Cabrera, and Gene Larkin. Basically, the Bill Maz All-Stars are guys who have come up huge in the postseason and you look back and say, "Who exactly was that guy?" Congrats Yadier, now may you go down in defeat to the Boys from Motown. If I can't cheer for the Rangers in the Series, I can at least root for another franchise that has been down on its luck in the recent past. Go Tigers!Labels: Baseball

Ummm..... Bill Mazeroski is in the Hall of Fame. He's on the greatest double play man who ever lived. That's who he was. And you should probably call Maz, "sir".
And Joe Carter, while no Hall of Famer, was a perennial All-Star, driving in 100 RBI with a frightening regularity.
Your team should be named the Rick Dempsey All-Stars, after the MVP of the 1983 World Series.
Mr. Baker,
I brought up Maz's name because he was always known more for his glove than his bat. Yes, Maz was a Hall of Famer, but he was a completely unexpected person to be the beloved Yankee killer of the '60 series.
Yes, Joe Carter was an RBI machine, but he played for a baseball team based in Canada. Isn't that anonymity enough?
I'm glad you enjoyed last night's game as much as I did, although it's not as much fun when you learn about Molina's homer via ESPN Gamecast rather than watching it on the tube. I guess it just love my Property outlines a bit too much.
