Wild Pitches

Tommy Lasorda holds the big-league record for wild pitches in an inning.

Absolute Hilarity

The Rockies lost to their farm team in Colorado Springs by the count of 5-3. Now, if that had happened to me as a Giants fan, I would be going off my rocker.

Exhibition Games

I'm getting tense now. These exhibition games at the very end of March really kill me.

Do you know how to add?

If not, this table is for you.

Nightmare

...and I wake up in a cold sweat, and it hits me like a sack of bricks that Pedro Feliz is still our 3rd baseman.

¡Béisbol!

Only two short weeks until Opening Day! Rejoice, my friends, rejoice at the sight of a meaningful game!

The Bonds Contract

I do not care. Okay? Okay.

Good Advice

If you're ever in trouble, ask yourself, "What would Blownitez do?" Then do the opposite.

A Message to all Magowan Haters

Think about a black cap with an intertwined "TB" on the front. Does that scare you as much as it scares me?

Ballparks

The A's haven't had a ballpark built for them since Shibe Park was built, way back in 1909. Meanwhile, the Giants have had stadiums built for them thrice in that span: in 1911, in 1960, and in 2000.

A Number I Would Like to See on the Back of an MLB Player

I think it's fair to say that this image is self explanatory. What does it mean? Get out your nearest calculator and see. The answer will be revealed in tomorrow's post.

Villains of the 20th Century

1. Adolf Hitler
2. Josef Stalin
3. Tommy Lasorda
