Fear the Bastardo
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the man with the greatest name in baseball.
I like him so much, I don’t even care that he plays for Philly. A name like that goes beyond petty division rivalries. Just ask Von Hayes.

Brilliant call by Tom McCarthy, followed by Wheels kinda ho-humming it and incorrectly...

Not only was he bringing the heat, but he looked composed on the mound and never let a sticky situation blow up. His six innings of four hit ball...
