Oh I see. I didn't know that the nickname was directly tied to that. Makes sense now

FYI the Group 4 phenoms were in fact talked about in this article:

And this one, by everyone's favorite columnist (not):

Plus I think the Trib had it in one of their articles, but I can't find it now for some reason.

Nobody on the radio, nobody on TV, nobody on this board.  Nobody has mentioned the players last night celebrating while holding up the number 4.  Willie was doing it, Widger was, everyone was holding up the number 4 in the late innings.  And when Blum won the game for us, he walked to the dugout and everyone was giving high fives using the number 4.

 

This is because the bench players were known as the forgotten 4 or the group 4 as they have been referred to on ESPN.com.  They were all going crazy for the members of the 4 to be contributing and actually performing very well.  Widge played well, Willie had a nice SB, Blum won the game, etc, etc.

 

Many props.

 

the four

I was wondering why the hell they kept putting up the #4, LOL.

i thought it meant to take 4 pitches cause that guy was having a hard time throwing strikes, either that or i thought it was some kinda gang signs for a gang that widger started.

GROUP 4!!!

 

Can't say enough about how big our entire bench and bullpen was last night...

Naa.. Flair,Anderson, Sting and Luger were better!

Sid Arn Anderson Barry Windam and Flair

best group of the four horsemen

I could have sworn when Uribe caught the final out that Geoff Blum threw up the "shocker" symbol.

 

Anyone else see this?
