An Ode To Keith Foulke Light

I think that I shall never see
A homer lovely as Cashie’s.

A homer whose arching flight is prest
Over the sweet Monster’s left field crest;

A homer that makes the Dbacks sway,
And wish they hadn’t come to play;

A homer that scores in three runs where
Cash squats to catch balls from the air;

Upon whose home plate just two had scored;
But Cash added three more runs to the board.

Meatballs are served up by fools from ‘Zona,
But only Cash can pound a three-run homer.

With deepest apologies to Joyce Kilmer.

    Give me a break. It didn’t even matter in the end. It wouldn’t have made a difference anyway because Delcarmen would have been in the game instead of Hansen and there would have been no loaded bases.

    Never in my life have I heard someone say, He is here just for his catching. His hitting doesn’t matter. That is a joke. His hitting does matter. He is useless. You can’t just not have someone on the team as an automatic out.

    Someone takes things way, WAY too seriously.

    I don’t know that I’ve ever seen such a rambling, nonsensical, disproportionately angry comment to a post, ever.

    Did Kevin Cash steal your girlfriend or kick your dog or something, “Get”?

    I’m not even sure that Get’s last paragraph is actually English. Who is he arguing with? Did he mean to post this on some AOL message board or something?

    That, my dear, is sheer poetry at it’s finest :D

    You go on with your bad ass, Cashie. :D

    We’ll take a 3 run bomb anytime.

    you answered my request. thanks, TG! :-)

    that was one of those “adorable” homers in which I just go “awwww!” I don’t know how to describe it other than that. the 3-year drought increased the awwww factor for me. Pedroia’s homer in the ALCS in which he jumped into Papi’s arms after also had the adorable factor for me. when Manny homers, it’s badass and gets a fist-pump. when Little Kevin Cash does it? adorable. gets a big smile and a squeal, as if a baby had done it.

    (and I don’t know how tall he is, so nobody get offended, but he looks little on tv to me!)

    Heeeee! That was awesome!
    When $$ crushed that ball all I could say was:
    “GET THE HELL OUT!!!”

    And here I was wondering why on God’s green earth the D’Backs intentionally walked him earlier. Gotta give em credit – I guess they knew something!

    I’m sorry I disparaged the poor boy the other day…maybe it brought him luck! I was happy (and amazed) to see him hit a dinger!

    My dad was watching something else but I had him change it to the game during commercials. K Cash is up, 2 balls and 2 strikes, he keeps fouling off–just prolonging the inevitable. I said, “You can the channel, it’s okay.”

    Probably just seconds after we changed the channel, he hit the homer.

    KEVIN CASH, I WILL NEVER DOUBT YOUR POWERS AGAIN
