Can anyone confirm this is no joke? That would be outf'ingstanding.

I've heard that thinking about baseball can help people who are premature.

I hadn't heard that twitter story on the radio today, but it wouldn't surprise me in the least. That station (KDFW) had a reporter at a sports bar. After the game he claimed that some Ranger fans were actually happy for a game 7 because it means more baseball.

Nelson Cruz is becoming Bill Buckner.

So Bill Buckner hustles his ass off so much that his glove folds and the ball goes through his legs. But that hustle makes the error look worse. Nelson Cruz breaks it down retreating for the ball, is totally out of position to adjust to the slice of the ball, and has the ball go 12 inches to the right of his glove as he makes a leap, turning a catch/error chance into a triple.

And history will blame Buckner more than Cruz, all because Buckner hustled. Errors are such a poor indicator of defensive prowess, as we here all know.
