You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
That sucks Consuela. I am glad they didn't go farther though.

To the 18th.
Not only did Garner play, but so did Julio Cruz (1st base coach). And Nolan Ryan is in the crowd -- he couldn't pitch in the 16-inning game because he'd thrown into the 10th a day before.

I looked up the game. Houston only used 5 pitchers, and the Mets only used 4. They used relievers differently back then.
Ooh, the non-firstbaseman couldn't scoop up the throw.

Consuela, that's infuriating and also scary. I'm sorry that it happened to you.

You know, I don't actually know what a fluffer is or does. I see the term. I understand it enough in context not to ask. See me not asking. I'm just typing nervously, lest anyone think I was making inappropriate naming suggestions to Casper's grandmother.

C'mon you Astros. How 'bout you get a run for Clemens for once. (Of course, Clemens is leading off, so it's in his own hands.)
