I admit it: I do like Tim. He brings a certain innocence back to the game which the game has irretrievably lost. He's like this big little kid, too excited to contain himself. It can be contagious.

And he caught Bob Gibson, for heaven's sake!

Plus, I love to imagine Joe's facial expressions when Tim blurts out something particularly and beautifully irrelevant. I picture Joe just sitting there, exhaling a bit, shaking his head slightly back and forth. Dreamy.

Needless to say, I'll be pulling for Philly tonight. I'd like 7 games.
