Listening to Ray Charles singing It's Crying Time Again. And watching the denouement of Saving Private Ryan when Hanks and his guys mostly get blown away by the Germans. Edited by Maxbialystock

Offense off to a slow start.

 

How many times do you think a major league manager has told his pitcher "don't let that other team's pitcher beat you at the plate?"

In 1998 20 year old rookie Kerry Wood making his 5th major league start for the Cubs struck out 20 Houston Astros and didn't walk anyone. He gave up 1 hit. After he struck out the last batter of the game, he pumped his fist. Later he told reporters he pumped his fist because he'd been having control problems and he was psyched that he didn't walk anyone in the game. He had no idea he had struck out 20 batters and was surprised why his teammates were hugging him and slapping him on the back as if they had just won the WS.

He was the 1st NL pitcher to achieve 20 K's and was only the 2nd, along with Roger Clemens, in major league history at the time.

Many consider it the greatest game ever pitched and Wood accomplished it against a very good Astros' line-up.

The video is available on youtube.

 

BTW, the Cubs won the game 1-0.

Looks like the Sox lineup is going to have to get to Ohtani, as hard as that is, because otherwise he is going to go the distance.

Hard to believe that only 6 years ago Ohtani played in the little league WS for Japan. Birth certificates have always been a problem for that event.

You're welcome. There's a ton of interesting baseball videos on youtube. Btw, you should see the mansion JD lives in.

 

But the best things in life are free. What BS! That was a lie perpetrated by rich a-holes to make poor people feel better.
