The best the MLB can currently offer would be a combined 4" shorter, so yeah, WBC supremacy.

Emergency confection port.

I was so happy Sam Fuld was doing well in the WBC, then he tried to throw from the wall and the ball bounced about 60 feet away from him. I guess his shoulder's too hosed up still :(

I was reading that the other way, as in once Rizzo gets hit half the Cubs fans here will be out for blood.


Is it possible to throw a 20mph ball that makes it to the plate? I guess it probably is, but I kind of imagine little leaguers throwing at 30-40 or so.

7-8 year olds are expected to be able to hit 45mph pitches off a 42 foot mound

Nowadays, I'd love to see a 20-mph Eephus pitch or some wacky poo poo.

Dickey was throwing 65mph Eephuses near the end of last season

This is starting to get kind of pathetic. It's like the MLB is so desperate that it's sucking the soiled run off water from the NFL.

The only downside is that bounced throw to first, but a DP is a DP.

It was pathetic from day 1

What it's starting to feel like is that MLB isn't just bad at marketing their stars, they actively don't want their stars to be marketed. They can push Tebow because they can make a quick buck off name recognition without shifting more money to the players overall.

FG's Top 33 prospects post for the Yankees has me so ridiculously, unhealthily hyped. I don't think I've read one recently that was so positive across the board with so many of the names.

In other news the team that hadn't won a WS in 108 years is going to milk the ever loving poo poo out of finally winning one. Buckle up because it's only going to get more insufferable, particularly if the Cubs are really good again this year too.
