"Bunt, You Fool!"

       I have to reprint this (from my August 20th 2013 post) because-- talk about not being able to read bunt signs, tonight Juan Uribe of the Los Angeles Dodgers purposely fouled off two pitches bunting so he would be released from the bunt sign to swing freely...and hit the HOME RUN that not only won the game but won the National League Division Series from the Atlanta Braves, and launched the Dodgers into the National League Championship Series!

       Somehow Juan both honored the sign and undermined it at once, then personally consigned all quibbles about "not following orders" into
the
      dustbin
                    of
                         history.
