That's the one. I half-remembered it, which is about par for the course. Or actually only remembered it a third since apparently he didn't do Perry Mason. The Streets of San Francisco, Cannon, and Barnaby Jones were probably the ones I remember them intoning "A Quinn Martin Production" after. I think Cannon's the only one I really liked, though Barnaby Jones was OK. Maybe Streets came on before something I liked so I always caught the end credits.

LA talking about Mayberry's smoothness in the field and lack of energy. Searching for a word. I want to yell GRIT!

Yeah. No Perry Mason but:

QM Productions produced a string of successful television series during the 1960s and 1970s, including The Fugitive, Twelve O'Clock High, The F.B.I., The Invaders, The Streets of San Francisco, Cannon, and Barnaby Jones. Besides producing sixteen one-hour network series, he also produced twenty TV movies, including Attack on Terror, Brinks: The Great Robbery, Face of Fear, House on Greenapple Road, and Murder of Mercy. His only venture into the world of cinema was The Mephisto Waltz, released by Twentieth Century-Fox.

OMG.

Wilson Valdez ruins everything for the Yanks. Home run swat!!!

Now Vic rips a single. The comeback begins.

And MLB.tv is apparently working on cutting out this spring. Nice.

Switch to radio. And it's doing the maddening echo trick.

And we're back.

Naylor working on putting guys on base before facing "greatest hitting prospect ever" Montero. Strikes him out.

Naylor striking out everyone with a variety of slop.

7-1 after 6 full.

Well, a little disappointing. I want to see the Phillies win, but there certainly would have been something special about a split squad spring training, seven-pitcher perfect game that I witnessed through an intermittently refreshing Gameday and smitty's pbp.

Now a random fish pitching for the Phils. Our team working on getting their ass kicked today and doing well.

I think we're in a commercial break while the inning continues. Either that or the MLB.com thing is broke again. Probably doesn't matter much either way.

It's Spring Training and MLB.com is working on breaking down mid-game -- not that they need a lot of practice there.

Mark Prior pitched last inning but I missed it. Part of the Phils' junk-balling crew in right now. Fiberbrand or something like that. He was a Tacoma Rainier last season.

He gives up four grounders. One got through -- no big whoop. Yankee announcer guys call our SS "Galvin." Anyways, Galvis has a good arm it looks like.

Rule 5 guy strikes out to end this mess. Phils do good job today working on all around futility. Tomorrow we work on heart break I think.

Hopefully Matt Thornton's extension with the White Sox (2-12) can be used as a data point for potential Madson extension talks. Although frankly that deal is a steal for Chicago and Boras probably isn't going to want to pay much attention to it

Will Carroll is now at SI,com:

When it comes to injuries, good is boring. There's nothing quieter than an empty training room, but that means those Trainers sitting in there looking bored have done their jobs and done them well. It's unlikely that Scott Sheridan and his staff are actually sitting around, reading the latest copy of the Journal of Athletic Training or Sports Illustrated, but they've put themselves in a situation where it's possible.

This is as low a risk rating for a team as I think is possible, built by a GM that understands injury risk, listening and trusting the judgement of his staff. It's built on the long career and research of Sheridan's predecessor, Jeff Cooper, who still consults with the team.

While the team itself might not be as forward thinking or research oriented as some others, they've got a roster where the medical staff can focus on the right things -- prevention, prehab -- and have plenty of time to deal with the inevitable traumatic injuries that will come along without the likelihood that they'll be overwhelmed. Indeed, there's a small chance that the Phillies (and a couple other teams) have become a bit risk averse.

The risk/reward ratio is always speculative and it's hard to say that the Phillies didn't do everything they needed to do this offseason, but they could think about acquiring some risk if they needed. If they needed some extra offense, they are the kind of team that could make a deal for a Carlos Beltran or a similar player with talent and injury problems.

Wow. Carlos Beltran. That would be interesting.
