I was hooked to a machine
Just to keep my mouth from spouting junk
Must have took me for a fool
When they chucked me out of school

  1. Hey Kids! It's Dr. Prison Fence's Mailbag:

      This is your forum.

      Forget the old saw that says, "The people have spoken." The readers of MLB.com have gone a step further -- they've demanded answers about Carlos Delgado, sending the first mailbag on bluejays.com into overstuffed mode.

      The e-mails came from all over the world -- from locales as distant as Italy and Switzerland -- and most of them wanted to know the same thing: How could the Blue Jays let Delgado leave the organization via free agency? That's a fairly simple answer, so this mailbag will also cover other territory.

  2. "The Importance Of Strike One (Part One)" by Craig Burley:

      Baseball Think Factory regular and professional pitcher Carlos Gomez (aka “Chad Bradford Wannabe”) is responsible for bringing to my attention the most shocking, stupefying stat I have ever seen in all my years of following baseball. One day last year, around playoff time as I recall, he mentioned to me that less than 8 percent of first-pitch strikes turn into base hits.

      Say what now?



Question of the Day: Who are we cheering for in the league championship series? I generally cheer for the underdogs, but I really like this Cardinals team. I hope they beat the Astros in 4 then thump whoever comes out of the AL. The only upside to the ALCS is that one of those two obnoxious teams has to lose.
