THEY SAID IT
“He had his inner Batman out today.” — Cincinnati Reds second baseman Brandon Phillips, after the no-hitter thrown Tuesday by teammate Homer Bailey, on the pitcher’s resemblance to “Batman” actor Christian Bale. “I don’t know. Because I’m supposed to do something.” — Washington Nationals Manager Davey Johnson on why he changed the batting order of a team that has scored fewer runs than any National League team except the Miami Marlins. “Scott Boras, you over baby/Robinson Cano, you coming with me.” — Lyric from “Crown,” a new song by rapper and f ledgling agent Jay-Z, who indeed swiped Cano, arguably the best player eligible for free agency this fall, from agent Boras.
