San Francisco Giants Band Together To Score Run

MILWAUKEE—The San Francisco Giants put aside their differences Sunday night, working together as a team in a common effort to score a run in a baseball game. The scrappy nine-man crew overcame daunting odds to cobble together the run, as each player used his individual strengths and skills to help string together an unlikely series of events—including a walk, advancement on a wild pitch, an infield single, and perhaps most selfless of all, a ground into double play—that ultimately resulted in a Giant crossing home plate. "This just shows you what a team can do when they put their mind to it," said Giants first-baseman Dan Ortmier, who was swarmed by his celebrating teammates at home plate after scoring the run. The Giants lost to the Brewers 12-1.

You know you've really made it big when you're mocked in The Onion.

It's not that the new onion is bad, like bad SNL bad... it's just a shadow of it's former self.

I mean "It's Not a Crack House, It's a Crack Home".

Not too long ago a friend linked me to an Onion article, and the sidebar said, "grenade eating contest gone horribly wrong" for one of the headlines. I'd like to know how a grenade eating contest can go right...

Democracy is lovely but baseball is more mature. BVCE supports Manny Burriss and SF Dugout.
