Lovely… when someone else hands them out.

My dad just called me to bitch about this.
He’s in Minnesota and he’s very very mad that MLB has the intelligence of a 4 year old when it comes to market restrictions. Why would anyone in their right mind watch a game when one team is down by 16 runs…over a game that is tied going into the 9th and one of the best rivalries in all of sports? F you, MLB/Selig.

it makes more sense in Minn than Austin Texas
with Minn and Cle being in the same division, but I am 2-3 hours from Houston and 4-5 from Dallas

but it still is a Cottsucker how they plan the games

It doesn't make any sense at all...

That's OK
The Cubs will have Bradley (presumably) and the top of the order up in the ninth. Win it then.
by Not Bruce Froemming on Apr 18, 2009 5:31 PM CDT reply actions
Ok, if Fully K can keep this within a run...
It sets up nicely for Fonzie to win it with another HR in the bottom of the 9th.
