Ballgirl

Not sure I believe this, but it is a cool video.

Here's why I question this:

First off, the ballgirl charges into the corner to catch the ball. This wouldn't happen during a game. Ballgirls (and boys) just pick up ground balls that go foul and throw them in the crowd. They never shag flies, because a fielder might have a shot at getting an out, and they especially wouldn't run this far to do it. She is running like she was shot of a cannon to the exact spot where the ball was headed, and she comes a long way to do it. Jim Edmonds never tracked a ball this well.

Secondly, she never looks for the ball. She runs to the corner, climbs the wall like a cat, and sticks her glove up to catch the ball.

All that aside, even if this is a fake, it's a good one, and I'm sure she's a better outfielder than Chris Duncan in any case.

This Thursday!

Remember, we are meeting tomorrow (6/26) @ Joanie's Pizzeria in Soulard around 6:00-6:30. From there, who knows where we will end up, so make sure you have cell numbers to track us down. Feel free to comment!

A-B Board to meet Friday

Tomorrow is of course a big day as the Anheuser-Busch board meets to discuss the InBev bid. Linda Greer has forwarded a new web site with a petition to sign:

Also, she asked me to post a comment from her cousin, Cathy Nichols:

"OK Linda. I have signed the petition with pleasure. My comment was: " Budweiser is an American institution. This is just the beginning of America for sale to the highest bidder." I mean that. I am afraid that our government has not protected our American sovereignty by paying down the national debt which Ross Perot says is increasing by a billion or more a day. They have set the stage for a buyout of virtually everything American by foreigners. We will all be tenants on the land because of corporate greed and political indifference. Our government has not been an example of fiscal self-discipline, and has a set a poor example for the citizens who overspend and fail to save. Sorry! it's my latest soapbox. Hope it doesn't happen."
