As are Alex's....in fact, at least 30 men are playing with his before every game.

Nor get bounced on the ground many hundreds of times per game.

And, just to establish without a doubt the superiority of my balls, they get rubbed with mud before every game. You know how much that would cost in Napa County?

Yours are far too fragile to be surperior. They constantly get scuffed up and required replacement.

Not to mention that putting any sort of lubricant on them is specifically prohibitted by rule.

Though when at rest players rarely hold my balls in their sweaty armpits.

And I think we've taken this about as far as we can go considering it all started with the ridiculous notion that having balls 9.4 inches in diameter is somehow a desirable thing.

I would never doubt the capability nor capacity of the LoT community to go in this direction endlessly. Similar things happen in almost every thread.

I don't get it...

Aren't the Dodgers worried someone in the MLB front office is going to catch on? Starting pitchers going more than 5 innings, catching balls in the air instead of letting them bounce first, scoring more runs than the guys in the different jerseys. How long do they think they can get away with flaunting the rules like this?

Well, it looks like the unexpectedly hopeful start to the season is coming to an end.

5 game losing streak, but more importantly over those five games the A's have scored just 5 runs -- 3 of them in a single game. They have not had a 3-run inning since May 4. It's just not a team that is going to get many runs and the pitching isn't compensating.

Now, if we could just keep a key player from going on the DL seemingly every week. The loss of Ethier's bat in the lineup is not going to be helpful.

Still, gotta love a sweep, especially against the Padres!

Giants and Rays in the World Series. Giants win.
