Eight Belles asked Gagne to not give up a home run. That didn't turn out as well.

"I'd ask for an unassisted triple play. That shit's much more rare than a home run. "

The feat should be as commonplace as the fate.

Home run? Cancer.
Cycle? Spina bifida.
5-7-3 putout? Two-headedness.

I think all the Astros home runs this weekend were going to raise money for MD research. And they played the Brewers, so naturally there were plenty of ding dongs.

Mmole — Mon, 05 May 2008 15:14:40 EDT

These kids are so demanding. Homers are hard but that's what they want. How come they never ask for a walk, advance to second on a fielder's choice and a chance to score on a base hit? But NO. It's only homers that satisfy them.

If only the last pitch he had fouled off beofre the homer had broken Mr. Farrey's nose...or worse. Tejada may be a cumdumpster, but that whole thing was a disgrace and a new low for tWWL...and I think Tejada juiced and that the 'Stros suck.
