I wonder who else noticed it immediately and got the ball rolling. I know several who would have played with it all night. <br /><br />Score Truck to me is up there with "HA!" as the top Banter rally cry, but with much humbler beginnings which makes it more endearing.Chyll Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03700304079915822611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5301127465020230029.post-16204833109767991462009-09-20T18:43:46.306-04:002009-09-20T18:43:46.306-04:00That illustration is just about the sweetest thing...That illustration is just about the sweetest thing I've ever seen. Here's the full story.<br /><br />In a game out in Anaheim, Derek Jeter inexplicably dropped a pop-up which eventually led to a couple unearned runs. I was describing the play in a comment on the recap post, and here's what I said:<br /><br /><i>The A-Rod error certainly opened things up and got the Angels back in the game, but for me the key moment was Jeter’s error. (Sure, you should expect Bruney to pick him up and get the next couple guys, but at this point can you really EXPECT Bruney to get crucial outs?) Anyway, after Jeter dropped that pop-up, I saw something that I’ve never seen before. He seriously looked like he was going to vomit in the middle of the field. Say what you will about his fielding deficiencies, but this was so routine that the Angels announcer announced it as an out and the operator in the score truck changed the graphic from 1 Out to 2 Outs — both before noticing that the ball was rolling at Jeter’s feet. A few minutes later a 7-6 game became 10-6. Again the cameras flash to Jeter, and Captain Clutch looked ill. This was Tiger missing a six-inch putt for par. This was Jordan pounding a dunk off the back of the rim. In short, this was the Angels.</i><br /><br />After posting, I read the comment I realized that I had made up the Score Truck term. Still have no idea why.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14121778165206161600noreply@blogger.com
