Randy Johnson, one start after this 300th career win, has made a bit of personal history yet again. In tonight's game against the Marlins, he went 5 innings, giving up 7 hits and 3 earned runs. 3 of those hits were given up to Brett Carroll, who became the first player to ever triple and homer off of Randy Johnson in the same game. Not only is this impressive considering it was Randy Johnson's 598th career start and 608th career appearance, but also considering the fact that it was Brett Carroll's first career home run and only his second career triple.

Brett Carroll
Took his protein pills and put his helmet on.
Do the papers know
whose shirts he wears?

I understand his homerun ball...
…was floating in a most peculiar way.
I've committed to tweeting about the Cubs for the rest of the season. (Does that sound as ridiculous as I think it does?) Anyway, if you're on Twitter, you can follow me here.
