So, I hate to sound totally stupid, but what's the slaughter rule? Does it just mean that you stop playing if you're being beaten badly, or is it something else?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Baseball's weird.
That's one of the fascinating things about sports to me - how occasionally, a player (or even a whole team) is "in the zone" and seems to transcend mere human skill. Like when a basketball player has a hot streak and hits almost every shot - I've read accounts where the player later says the basket just seems huge - like it's almost impossible to miss a shot.
If only we could figure out a way to be "in the zone" on command. Of course, that would take some of the magic out of sports.

Yep.
I don't know the exact criteria for invoking the slaughter rule....

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I remember a Diamondbacks game, don't recall who they were playing against, where the dbacks got so far behind they knew they weren't coming back, and for the last inning, they put Mark Grace, first-baseman, on the mound (so the loss wouldn't do any further damage to any of the relief pitchers' records, I think. but I could be wrong. Maybe they just did it for the fun of it). He certainly performed with... well, style over substance, having fun by imitating the various quirks of regular pitchers.

So I'm starting to get a migraine. It's at the very start, and I can tell what it will be because of the position in my brain. But I just thought, in a very inquisitive manner, "if I don't take any meds, I wonder how bad it will get?" Like I'm my own scientific experiment.
Weird?
