You get so much intense scrutiny from the media, that you kind need for the manager to provide that calming effect, to make them realize that 162 is a ton of games, and every game shouldn't be do or die (cause then you get the guys pressing, and all that fun stuff).

Honest to God, somebody just posted this on the company email. It's an older woman so it's legit:

Please, I am missing my Swingline stapler it is my personal stapler it is one of the first they made. It has my name taped to it. I copy a great deal and I would really like to get it back. If you have seen it please let me know.

Anyway, I always have this sad, fleeting hope when I go to an Orioles game that I'll see a no-hitter. Last time, Daniel F. Cabrera gave up a hit to the first batter. It was a 5-run-inning, and an 18-6 final. What was the point of this story?

]]> <![CDATA[NLDS Game 1 Live Blog: Phillies Vs. Rockies]]> moomacher, I'd try any of the big chains (Sports Authority, Modell's, Champ's). They all theoretically sell official MLB merchandise, but it almost might be tough to find non-New York jerseys. I'd call around and see if anyone carries what you're looking for. There's no "official" MLB store like the NBA has, as far as I know.
