    but the gun when I was warming up said mid 80s

    Damn! Mine told me 40, if I'm lucky.

    I watched "First Take" this morning, and judging from Jay Crawford's performance, it looks like we have another Tony Conigliaro on our hands.

    If it's 3:20 on a Wednesday, that means it's time for Fun With Punctuation!



    With minor changes, a quote about baseball:



    since about freshman year of high school. I knew I had no control going in,



    turns into an admission that he's a 2 pump chump:



    Since about freshman year of high school, I knew I had no control going in.

    First and foremost, I played in the game and was on Jay's team. The story is much exaggerated and contained about 5 percent of the truth. Not sure where to begin but Jay was the 3rd batter hit in that inning. Also, Jay never rushed toward this guy or said anything about fighting him or beating the F out of him. I guess that made the story sound good. Jay is not even remotely like that. Was he pissed, yes. Did he have a right to be pissed, absolutely. If you are going to tell a story like this, please do it accurately.

    Lastly, you had no control and had no place being on the mound. You could have seriously hurt Jay or anyone else for that matter.

    @SuvarnmalaBabb: Disagree. If you're going to play amateur 'hardball', you have to expect to get plunked. I bet Jay leaned into it.

    This is the part in the romantic comedy where Crawford's girlfriend sees his violent outburst, calls off the engagement, and runs to the loving embrace of Thomas Jane.

    I think at one point he called me an amateur and I started laughing which didn't help things.

    Anyway, he's cursing telling me I'm a "f'ing pansy" and that he's going to "beat the f out of" me after the game and that I "have no business being on a f'ing pitcher's mound".



    Somehow, Skip Bayless still managed to talk over him.

    Censoring himself even while off the air. Now that's a professional.

    Alright kids, thanks for all the glorious knowledge.


    Time for this chica to go to bed. Tomorrow's going to be a long emotional day. Happy early hump day!
