So why did they take Archer out exactly?

Pitch count maybe? I think pitchers are limited to 65 in the first round, maybe they want to save him as potential relief in case of emergencies.

Whoever he is, the Italian dugout had a lot of kisses for him when he got back. That's been one of my favorite things about the WBC: Watching how different countries' dugouts celebrate.

:siren:My girlfriend:siren: was unaware of the extra innings baserunner rule until just now. She is very against it. She has promised to start a blog if they try to implement it in MLB in which she calls it bullshit and claims Rob Manfred has a tiny dick.

She feels very strongly about 18-inning games.

Announcers trying to think of alternate terms for "mercy rule" and suggest "early termination". I humbly suggest that any game subject to a mercy rule be officially labeled an abortion.

Considering MLB apparently can't scrape together enough security to keep the players families safe, I doubt they have enough to eject annoying ball hawks.

Reading comments on the stories (I know, I know), I thought Yadi was supposedly just a crybaby who should have hired a private army to protect his family from his overinflated salary.
