Am I the only one who checked to see which players Cleveland was losing?

These two kids were throwing pretty hard (89 for the winner and 87 for the other guy, I believe) especially considering they really have no idea how to throw. If you can teach them some mechanics, they might be able to get into the upper 90s.

I doubt they’ll ever go anywhere, but it does make for an interesting story.

the Pittsburgh Pirates, the five-time World Series Champions

That kind of has the same hollow ring as, the Detroit Lions, the four-time NFL Champions.

Hmmm, looks like the pirates are looking to India to help keep the payroll down!

Do they even know the rules of the game? Baseball is a very complicated game when it comes down to the fundamentals and mechanics.

the opportunity to try out for America’s leading baseball teams.

So how'd they end up with the Pirates?

Anyway, shouldn't they be with the Indians?

Guess they needed to get them under contract before the Yank-offs offered them seven year, $180 contracts.
