"Anything on the inner half, occasionally he's looking to get hit. He's up there, he's right on top of the plate. And his arms are over the batter's box and over part of the plate. If he doesn't get out of the way, there could be an occasion that it could be a strike and it actually hits him." - Justin Verlander

Oh man!

At Comerica Park tonight, the place is sold out and Justin Verlander has a no-hitter going with one out in the ninth.

I begin fishing through my pocket and my son asks me what I am doing and I tell him I want to check the condition of my ticket stub. He asks why and I tell him if Justin gets two more outs and gets this no-hitter I am going to frame the stub along with one of his baseball cards. People around me say "Yeah, that's a good idea!"

A lady then looks at me with surprise and says "They still make those things?!"

Ugggh.

Yes, thankfully they do.

Maybe next time, Justin.

But dude, that's 95 grams of fat!

"The night before, as you can tell by my amazing physique, I eat Taco Bell. Every night. At home. Every start. Yes. You're welcome, Taco Bell. But it's true. The same thing every time. Three crunchy taco supremes, no tomato, a cheesy gordita crunch and a Mexican pizza, no tomato. Evey time." - on the "Conan" show

A great laxative though!
