We keep getting mail-order catalogs that are like SkyMall for paranoid rednecks addressed to the previous tenant of my apartment.
@baseballhappy I don't know if it's a wash, per se. Maybe in terms of stats, but Twins got a full-time middle infielder for a part-time OF.
@baseballhappy I don't think anybody is expecting 2007-2008 Hardy, but all in all this was a solid trade.
@ryansholin @greglinch, Any word yet on why @p2breaking was suspended?
MSM: How does sending five Dems in five races to the House this week translate to "skittish," "worried" Dem members of Congress next year?

Meanwhile, the Don’t Take My Bat Away Coalition is running this on their homepage: “Extra, Extra: Batted Ball Injuries Do Occur in Games Using Wooden Bats.”
 
Personally, I’ve played baseball with both wooden and aluminum bats. Metal bats are easier to swing, so the argument that a ball comes off the bat faster on an aluminum bat has some validity.
 
Secondly, working with wooden bats helps to develop arm strength. I’m a baseball purist and believe that there’s no crying in baseball. If the weight of a bat gets in the way of you playing the sport, you shouldn’t be playing.
 
Really, I think the red herring from the DTMBA about wooden bats is an irrelevant issue and a weak argument. We really should know the injury rates of aluminum vs. wooden bats in order to make a good decision to remove them from play or not.
I’ve been a public radio freeloader my entire adult life. This piece from Radiolab, Helicopter Boy, compels me to donate in ways that no pledge drive has ever done. So, for each reblog of this post, I will donate five cents (up to $100) to WNYC and Radiolab. That’s 2000 reblogs and, I hope, lots of new listeners to this amazing science program.... - http://randomonium.blog-o-blog.com/post...

Here is my impression of Jon Miller on ESPN radio: "Well, he needs a third strike or put the ball in play for the out."
