Any man brave enough to fight with his guts strapped on him can drink from my canteen anyday.

Speaking of plays worth watching... Michael Bourn ain't half-bad as a CFer...
In the end, my dissolution with the game of baseball will not be a result of any loss of love for the game, rather from the realization that I can no longer bear the anger its supposed stewards cause to be built up in my soul. -Lee (01/08/2013)

The Astros could use a guy like that, with the big center field and all.
He breezed him, one more time!

Nice.  Of course ESPN didn't care to bring this play up with all the HRs flying out of the park.

This play (Deadspin LINK - SFW) pretty much has to be the 'play of the day' from yesterday though...

No, no, no, what the Astros need is a speedy, leadoff hitter.
The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

He'd be fast, so the bunt would be a weapon.

Given the current situation, simply making contact would be a weapon.

But if you deal one of those away, at least you're sure to get a minimum of one elite prospect in return.
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.
