Baseball phrases I like:
I like words. I’m a word nerd even more than a sports nerd, so sometimes sports words get all up in my word nerd kitchen and I feel at peace with my little universe.
Two I heard today related to beisbol:
I love when they say a pitcher was “dealing.” I like it a lot less when he’s dealing against MY team (screw you, Tim Hudson!) but still, I love that term. It’s so visceral.
Also, “scored standing up” makes me giggle. When I hear it on the radio or read it, I have an entirely different scenario in my head than a guy just running across home base. More like that scene from 8 Mile. You know the one. *ahem*
