He really had nothing to lose by swinging as hard as he could.
Well, he could have thrown his back out, which would have meant an instant forfeit unless Pettitte was available to play the field.
Mal: You tell me right now, little Kaylee, you really think you can do this? Kaylee: Sure. Yeah. I think so. 'Sides, if I mess up, not like you'll be able to yell at me.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Oswalt was in the dugout, so they could've sent him out there.
Even if Oswalt or Petitte weren't there, the forfeit wouldn't occur until the top of the 19th. The Astros would still get two more outs.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
It looked like one of those square fiji bottles, so that doesn't surprise me.

Wonder who would have pitched. Biggio?

Biggio does everything else, so why not. (Note, I'm a big fan of my fellow alum.)

Hi Nutty!Mom -- how about China Empress or Chinoiserie for a board name?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I am holding a baby on my lap and trying to grade. It isn't working very well, although somehow posting is possible. Anyway, guess what? I'm going on a real live Date tonight! MiL is babysitting and we have reservations at a nice French restaurant that does a prix fixe menu on Sundays.

Actually, if Clemens had been injured, Darth Selig would have appeared to declare the game a tie.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Woohoo Burrell! I hope you have a good time.
