I couldn't post this in the Braves thread because it contains a poll. I am very excited about watching Braves pitching prospect Mike Minor make his debut tonight.

Question (for those that care and those that just want to speculate): How will Mike Minor do tonight in his major league Braves' debut?

Winner gets five dollars and a bottle of Phil Neikro's new line of cologne, Knuggsy's Nookie Nectur.

I have no idea who he is since I don't follow baseball...but he's coughing up two runs tonight.

Wow. Minor's first two runs given up were given up on extreme bloop hit. For example:

"Here's the pitch from Minor. There's a pop up. It's skied wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy up in the air. Infante is back on it. Ankeil is coming in. The ball is on its way down. Here it comes. Infante looks at Rick. Rick looks at Infante. Looks like they've agreed on who will catch it. Appears it will be Infante to try to catch it. Here comes the ball. Ankeil yawns. Infante trims a hangnail.. Infante still back.................and it falls in!"

Shit.

Three bloop hits, THREE ERRORS! Two wild pitches!

This season is OVER! Braves suck, SUck, SUCK!

God allmighty!

Newly acquired Farnsworth came into the game. The line?

Two walks.
Two Hits.
One error (on Kyle).
One wild pitch.

If he were a taxi cab driver, this would be like passing out at the wheel while running out of gas then driving the car off a cliff and having all air bags malfunction.

Fuck sake (and "sake" is not the Japanese drink. It's "Sake," rhymes with "snake").

ANOTHER BLOOP HIT for HOUSTON as I type this. ARRRRRRRRRRRRRGHGHGGHHH!

It's cool. It's cool.

Wow. Two MORE errors.

Wow. Just wow.

I think that makes five.

Disaster.

I believe that's a mathematical impossibility. ;)

Yeah, if it could have been done, the Orioles (pre-Buck) would have done it before now.
