There has never been a baseball season that has had both a perfect game and a 4 HR game. Until now. Prepare yourselves.
First guy since 1900 to go five for five with 4 homeruns. Nice fellow, too.
Colby Lewis: 7 IP, 5 H, 6 ER, 1 BB, 12 K.
- All five hits were home runs.
- For the first time in AL history a team led off the game with back-to-back-to-back home runs.
- The 12 strikeouts were the MOST EVER by a pitcher that has given up 5 home runs in the same game.
Also, root for a Newcastle win, a Arsenal loss and a Spurs loss/draw. The end.
Jamie Moyer (the 49 year-old pitcher) has a higher OBP than Albert Pujols as I type this. This is not a joke.
There appears to be no end to funny Albert Pujols comparisons. Poor Al. The American League is hard.
Poor Al.
$254,000,000 over ten years equals $69,589.04 per day, give or take.
Runners run.

That's a long commute.
Did anyone see Mattingly get tossed the other night? Loved it! Hooo boy, that's when you know your sports hate is clinical.
Knock fucking knock! Who's fucking there? The first Mets pitcher to throw a no hitter. The first Mets pitcher to throw a no hitter who? The first Mets pitcher to throw a no hitter Johan Santana...na, na, na, na.
And don't look now but the Red Sox' bullpen doesn't suck anymore.
Dear Lank,
I know you are only five years my senior, but since you know everything, I have a question: When did the whole "you hit my guy, I'll bean yours" tradition begin? Some guy on the Phillies (Cole Hammels?) claims it's an old tradition. But, he's an athlete playing in Philadelphia, ergo, an unreliable prick.

You came to the right place so you should be proud.
As you know, this is one of the unwritten rules of baseball, but your question deals primarily with its origin and not in the justification of the principle so I'll focus my efforts there. We can trace many of our roots to the Latin language, and although my Latin is a little rough, I believe it's Lex Talionis that gives us some clarification into its beginnings which (and I do run the risk of losing some of the more juvenile members of our forum here) is commonly referred to as tit for tat.
We can also look to world religions but these teachings tend to be a little vague. For example, the notion of an eye for an eye comes from the same author as turn the other cheek so there is some circular references in play.
As you can imagine this philosophy has come under some criticism. I believe it was Ghandi who has been credited with saying an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind but I'm sure smart people before Ghandi had similar imagery.
You wanna know how to get Capone? They pull a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. *That's* the *Chicago* way! And that's how you get Capone.
I hope this helps.

looooooooooooooooolz!
MTA: Thank you. Totally clear now.
The Nationals sweeping the Red Sox at Fenway. Times have changed.
The process is the goal.
