Tedd_Not_Ed: Feb 16, 2014; I've seen games go perfect for 12 innings all for naught. I've seen no-hitters pitched on illicit drugs. Homer streaks lasting eight games and 20 run losses. I've seen pennants won and seasons collapse. All these memories will be lost in time. Like tears in the rain.

Time to die.

Anthony Bourdain was at a bar in Osaka once that had ten cent beers whenever the Hanshin Tigers won. Was pretty cool.

Giants have lost 11 of their last 12 regular season games in Cincinnati.

I wish it was the postseason, right now. We've won three in a row there under those circumstances.

2014 Liriano stands in the way of the Pirates actually sweeping a team this year.

It seems like every time I decide "hey, why don't I turn on the Jays game", RA Dickey is pitching.

I'm not sure what this means.

You know, you'd think this would be foreseeable.

But of course, apparently literally blowing up the field wasn't foreseeable either.

It's his natural habit these days. It's the only way he can cast his Vogelsong Magic I guess.

He looked Real Bad in the 1st but he toned it down a bit in the second. I'd say we are at a solid Yellow on the Dickey Alert Chart.
