vs. TIGERS, 4/05

[tntoriole]

He's posted FIPs just below 3.00 in four of the last five years (3.28 last year). No one's invincible, but he's very, very good.

Verlander probably throws a 65 pitch complete game shutout.

I am glad I was out doing yardwork all afternoon.

[MrOrange82]

How about a back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back homer inning?

[weams]

Yeah, pretty amazing that he's managed to be so successful with that looming in his past.

Unfortunately, I also got Kris Benson's signature on the same ball. And I didn't even meet Anna during the exchange (though I don't think she was in the picture at that point).

Is she still in prison? Is she in that show?

[Goober Noodles]

What was that, a Pringles sculpture?

[MrOrange82]

Is she still in prison? Is she in that show?

I think she was just sentenced to probation. Not sure about shows, though.

R.A. Cockey pitched 6.67 innings of shutout ball against the Yankees today.

The Blue Jays just added 3 insurance runs in the bottom of the 8th inning, and lead by a score of 4-0 in the top of the 9th.

Yes.

I'm a Sonny Liston expert, and the most amazing thing that I have come across in my life in regard to overcoming horrible childhoods was Sonny Liston.

Liston became the heavyweight champion of the world under absolutely unspeakable conditions from his childhood (and his adulthood, also.)

For starters, he was one of 25 children ...... FOR STARTERS.

He worked 10-12 hours a day from the time he was 6 years-old, because his father stated that, "If he is old enough to eat at the table, he is old enough to work in the fields all day."

He had huge welts and scars all over his back for life from when his father used to beat him with a cane when he was a small child.

He was taught how to box by a priest when he was in the Jefferson City State Prison, serving time for armed robbery.

There is A LOT more to his story, also.

I've always loved and admired Sonny Liston.

No she got 15 years probation and is in a psychiatric hospital in Texas.

Prior to meeting Kris Benson, Anna was implicated in a grisly, execution-style slaying of Michael Evans in 1996. Benson, who was known as Anna Warren then, lived with her boyfriend, Paul Dejongh, in a Knoxville apartment. In a Daily News report in July, the lead investigator in that case told The News that, according to witnesses, Warren allegedly told Dejongh, "Get rid of him," in reference to Evans. Authorities called to the apartment on Jan. 22, 1996 found Evans' body facedown, with two bullet holes in his head. Warren and Dejongh went on the run, but were captured and later charged with murder, although the charges against Warren were dropped. Dejongh pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, was sentenced to 21 years behind bars and died in prison.

It's not her first rodeo.

[Terpsnation]

Lol. Well. First inning and ninth inning offense.

[Tom13206]

There you go Adam. At least they aren't throwing in the towel

[MrOrange82]

It's not her first rodeo.

Wow. I'd never heard that.

[schittenden]

2 down, 4 runs to go.

[Goober Noodles]

Ah, yes. Good ol' garbage time offense.
