…a wordpress plugin the other day that turned off commenting for anybody who got “first” comment. They were put in to time out for 10 minutes. And if you tried for “first!” and didn’t get it? 30 minutes of forced silence.
Wonderful idea, that i’ll be implementing on all future wordpress blogs i administer.

Anyone know...
where you could find a stat about most runners stranded in scoring position? D Lee had to have led the league last season, and he is off to a horrible start this year, too
I doubt it - he batted behind Theriot last year. Last time I checked, runner on first was not considered scoring position... ;-)

Anyone else think it's hilarious

walked in and saw Hill hit the two run shot, a sight of beauty IMO
