The Seattle Mariners became the 1st team since 1880 to have a perfect game thrown against them AND play a game in which they score 20 runs or more in the same season. That perfect game by the way just happened to occur on April 21st. Why the interest in that date? THE VERY birthdate of both Tony Romo and the Seattle Space Needle in 1962 and 1980!
Closer to home I am sooooo looking forward to hearing the smack talk of Spurs fans end for at least this night when the Thunder get riled up from the home noise. It's a loud place to hear much less think. The Spurs have been good for too long.
Lots of talk that Roy Oswalt is going to come to the Rangers, and soon! In light of injuries to men like Roy Halladay, Neftali Feliz, and Jered Weaver for some time the Mississippi native was receiving many a request to come pitch elsewhere.
Jim Thorpe born this day in 1888. In his own way Thorpe made Thunder of his own with his athletic prowess. A male Babe Didrickson who excelled at any sport from baseball to track to football. Voted the greatest athlete of the first half of the 20th Century. Thorpe was also your first ever NFL commisioner in 1920. And now you know...
Punch drunk might be one way to describe the finish in Arlington yesterday. In 94 degree heat there was a 13 inning affair for the Rangers and Blue Jays. Josh Hamilton with a huge contribution on a 1-2 count with Texas trailing by a run. After a drought of going deep since his 4 homer affair in Baltimore on May 8th home cooking has been more than amenable for Captain Whammy Hammy.
