April 19, KerCut.

At 8:44 central daylight I got the word:  KerCut.  And then seconds later:  Against the 1st place Rockies!  It's Tyler Anderson for the Rox, who are at Chavez Ravine tonight.

Cradio, it's 2-1 STL.  I sent you, "Fowler with two bombs."  Brewers at Cubs on TV, 3-1 BrewCrew.  I saw a Jett Bandy solo shot off of Kyle Hendricks.  I saw RiZzo pop out a few feet in front of the plate.  The Cubs don't appear to be better than anyone else.  Marp just dropped a throw to him at first.  Something is up with him.  He was picked off by Cole earlier.  Where was he going?  He's in la-la-land.  He missed time with back stiffness.  B-S.  Something's up.  Now Greg Garcia boots one, E-6.  Eighth inning after solid work by Wacha.  Thames walks for a second time. ...

In Rolla.  We are getting a taste of the 'Cut as a "LiveLookIn" on ESPN.  Seager grounds out, not a surprise.  B remarks on Tyler Anderson's leg twitch; she says it doesn't work for him.  I said it was modeled after Kershaw's drive-hitch, to throw the hitters' timing off.  B is trashing the Diamondbacks uniforms.  These are their reddish rusty tops with the snake head logo.  She says they're the worst hats ever.  The "look-ins" are jumping around, kind of nice.  We had Phillies-Mets going until I lost the LTE somewhere outside Union, Mo.  I want to catch just a little more of Kershaw and the KerCut—then it'll be back to the Blues.  But they're doing a red zone thing.  To Tampa, 7-6 Detroit, K-Rod pitching to Longo.  IBB.  SouZa Jr up now, infield in.  SouZa rips one down the left field line, foul.  Count runs full.  K-Rod is a mound dipper.  SouZa checks, gets rung up, didn't look like he offered, Cash comes out, he gets tossed.  On replay, yeah, he went.  This Look-In just keeps rolling, beautiful bean footage.  LoMoTime.  Whuh... looked like a GIDP, tailor-made, Kinsler ... goes down, no it was Iglesias.  He takes the throw, goes into the turn, trips on the bag, bites it, makes a terrible throw in capsize mode, the runner has no choice but to slide into him, throw goes wide, two Rays score, done.

Where the hell is my Kershaw?  They promised me some Kershaw 20 minutes ago.  Shit.  SportsCenter.
