They shoot last place teams, don't they? 9/12/12

I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing AstroTurf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, torture of Bud Selig.

West's perfecto and no-hit bid broken up in B6 with an error and a base hit and score 2 runs in the inning (its a Championship Game, I was entitled to be a tad excited about a possible perfecto to win the Championship...).  Anyway... End 6: TCV 2, HV 2

I just drove from one job to the other, about ten minutes. Not once have DoRay mentioned the score, the inning, anything like that until just now as the inning ends. All bullshit from them about the mascot, some other crap I tuned out, and then a hurried play call as the inning ended.

Please, please lose them in the off season. Please.

Another day; another earnie off of the Angel of Doom. Will he end up with a 6 ERA? The odds must be even money. It takes some luck and a certain lack of skill to go 1-10 out of the bully.

It glanced off his shoulder, but that didn't slow it down much.

What are the odds that JD will work his way out of this 0-2 count?
