World Class Beating
I was shocked today when I saw this score: the Texas Rangers beat the Baltimore Orioles by a score of 30-3. That is unquestionably the biggest ass whoopin I have ever heard of. And the most runs scored by one team since 1897. And what may be the most amazing statistic in all this is not that there were 2 grand slams, not that two different players hit 2 home runs each and each had 7 RBI, not that the Orioles led 3-0 before giving up 30 unanswered runs, but that the game was only 3 hours and 21 minutes. How in the world did they score so many runs in just over a standard length game? If this game is ever re-broadcast, I am definitely going to have to watch it.

What makes it even more amazing is that Texas didn't start scoring runs until the 4th inning...
Kind of reminds me of how bad we used to get beat on that Sears softball team we used to play on. Of course our pitcher turned out to be a pot head and he was one of our "better" players. Which may explain why the Washington State Patrol team seemed to kick the crap out of us worse than anyone else......
