I really hate Troy Glaus.

"While conservatives tell you 'leave things alone and no one will lose,' and liberals tell you 'interfere a lot and no one will lose,' baseball says 'someone will lose.'

Tomorrow night we cut into the DBacks league lead when Jonathan Sanchez duels with Randy Johnson. Who will strike out more opposing players tomorrow night?

No...

...the question ought to be "Which team will have more players striking out?"
