The critical thing to understand is that major-league pitchers don't appear to have the ability to prevent hits on balls in play. There are many possible reasons why this is the case, and I don't really have a concrete idea as to why it is.
But the one thing I do know is that it is the case.

nice
The critical thing to understand is that major-league pitchers don't appear to have the ability to prevent hits on balls in play. There are many possible reasons why this is the case, and I don't really have a concrete idea as to why it is.
But the one thing I do know is that it is the case.

Pour Guiness into a pint glass. Float Baileys on top of Jamison in shot glass. Drop shot glass, carefully, into Guiness. Drink quickly before it curdles.

OT: I met Cotts a couple of weeks ago
I was down on Ontario St in the city, and he lives in the appts on Kingsbury and Ontario. He was sitting out there w/ some friends after a game. Said hey, and he seemed happy to be recognized. Thought it was kind of cool..
