David Ortiz finally hit a dinger. I don’t think words can quite do justice to the response in Fenway. But they say a picture’s worth a thousand words — so when that ball got out, this is approximately what happened in Boston:

Here we go again. Time for another edition of our semi-annual “What They Need” series, where we play GM for all 30 teams. As usual, we’ll be suggesting subtle tweaks for some squads, and major overhalls for others. There’s already movement going on in the Hot Stove front, so there’s no time to waste!
Here’s a [...]

The 2003 Los Angeles Dodgers had one of the greatest pitching staffs the game of baseball has ever known. At the height of the steroids era, in a season when 104 players would test positive for performance enhancing drugs, the Dodgers hurlers posted a 3.16 ERA, good enough for an insane 128 team ERA+, and [...]

Okay, so at a time when most people are debating whether or not the Washington Nationals can even break .500 next season, this is going to sound more than a little crazy, but I think the Nats have an outside chance at contending next season.
I’m not saying it’s going to happen, but I am saying [...]

We here at Umpbump have done quite a few all-time teams. We’ve also cataloged quite a series of Hot Baseball Wives. In this post, I will attempt the acrobatic feat of bridging the twain. Yes, reader: The All-Hot Team.
For reasons of attention span, or specifically, the lack of it, I am focusing on current major [...]

just say it, Sarah: Red Sox nation had a collective orgasm.
It was so big, The Eck couldn’t invent any new terminology to describe it.

Man, I am loving listening to Eck during these broadcasts. Wishing Jerry Remy a speedy recovery, of course, but I could barely contain myself when last night, he stopped himself in the middle of a story about Nolan Ryan so as not to “jinx” Daniel Bard.
Really considered putting an, um, anatomical photo in that collection above but…we’re a family site.

Oh, we could do a whole separate post of audio clips!
– Beethoven’s Ode to Joy
– Meg Ryan’s fake orgasm
– Handel’s Hallelujah Chorus
– “Danger Zone” from Top Gun
– Fanfare of trumpets blaring
– “I Can See Clearly Now” by Johnny Nash
– Church bells pealing
Anyone got some more?

I’m loving Eck too, Sarah. the gushing over young pictures “who can throw the gas” is hilarious, he’s clearly in love. him and his trivia questions keeping Orsillo on his toes and “how do you guys even talk about Wakefield? I got nothin”.
plus, he’s clearly baffled by the Jays 1st place standing, which he mentions once an hour.
I could do without “cheese with hair on it” though. ewwww.
