Around SBN: Hugh Douglas Admits To Stealing From Jaguars

Game 104 Overflow Thread

In this game, we have the best hit:home run ratio in the history of baseball. This season just keeps getting better and better. We've also committed two errors today, so we've currently got the awesome even H-R-E thing going. I predict a seven run eighth that will ruin all of this precious symmetry and cause us to lose due to negative style points.

Seriously, though

He stays on his feet, he beats the throw, which guarantees that at least the run scores even if he’s tagged out for over-running the base—and there’s a chance the toss to the bag hits him.
