Pitching is such a vital part of the game, as far as winning is concerned.

On most teams the set up man has become more valuable, on others not so valuable.

Something to keep in mind — it’s raining lightly. The infield could be very wet on ground balls.

What is a drop and drive pitcher? He is a guy who drops and drives. Very simple.

So by guessing right you might have guessed wrong.

Giambi walks too much. He’s always clogging up the bases with all that walking.

If the double play is a pitcher’s best friend, what is a fielder’s choice? An acquaintance?

The reason we call that pitch up and in is because the arms are attached to the shoulder.

He wears his hat like a left hander!

Any ball that goes down is much heavier than any ball that stays on the same plane.

Until then, I can provide Firefox and Safari extensions to change the graphic to something more appropriate:

It’s not the Yankees collapsing and losing their division championship in four, but it’ll have to do.

Alternate solution:

sudo echo ‘127.0.0.1 daringfireball.net’ >> /etc/hosts

But that makes all of Gurber go away, not just the Yanke— Oooooh. Right, right.
