Anatomy of an "L"
Chicago White Sox at Kansas City Royals, May 4, 2009 7:10 PM CDT
Being without the internet for a few days, I wasn't sure which Royals pitcher the Sox would be facing tonight. As I hit the little box that makes the purty game preview above, all I was saying to myself was "Please, not Greinke. Please, not Greinke." Damn.

as i read the $110 for one gram
i’m thinking either:
a) holy shit the price of meth is expensive. people ought to switch to a cheaper upper, like cocaine.
b) that was such an inflated price that it screams “OH HAI! I’M A NARC, CAN IZ BAI DRUGS FROM YOO?”

Zack Greinke is high-strung and hot-tempered by nature
If you can’t get him the first time through the lineup, you may want to start trying to get in his head. For example, everyone taking pitches, even with two strikes, leaning over the plate, bunting consecutively, taking a really long time to get in the box, calling timeout, staring at him hard. This could make him overthrow or underthrow(which he’s been known to do in the past). If that sounds retarded, well, the Sox don’t have much of a chance anyway.
that swing call was bs

First off, he could well be in the "exceptions" category
Greinke is going to tail off regardless. Greinke is a special occasion, I’d say. Besides, the “Verducci Effect” is a guideline, not a rule.
