Anybody see that? Ankiel threw him out from the warning track on the way to third.

Two amazing throws by Ankiel in that game. The video is up here for now, but MLB will probably get it taken down soon.

It made Around the Horn on ESPN today.

For the showdown.

Cannon shots.
As a Cards fan I say keep taking the HGH!

I'll give him credit on two spectacular plays but I was watching the game live and Omar was hosed on the call. On the replay the third baseman clearly put the tag on Omar's upper arm/shoulder and his hand was in. The ump gave the cards credit for a great play. At the time it wasn't a big deal because the score was 6-2 but in the bottom of the 9th the rocks rallied to 6-5 with the tying run on 2nd when the game ended and Omar's run could have been a difference maker.

he can throw two strikes from cf to third, but couldn't get near the plate if you put him on the mound...funny game.

Both were GREAT throws, wow! However, the second guy was safe. Still doesn't take away from that throw though.

As a big Rockies fan, Omar has been playing pretty damn well as he 'fills in' for Tulo. (hitting .400 through 7 games with 5 doubles)

He's been up and down from triple a ball to the bigs the past few years, hope he sticks

Lets go Omar!
