c)Pat and Buck killing it...those stories from the 70's and 80's' about the behind the scenes talking about relationships with umpires are very interesting..maybe not surprising, but interesting. And then relaying the story about Donaldson giving Buck for not calling his HR last night goes to show how much the players pay attention to those little things (even though you know Donaldson was joking).

I don't have a problem with his decisions last night, but I totally agree about Nova.
