I don't remember the last time I saw an hour-plus rain delay in the middle of a game where the starting pitcher stayed in. Edwin Jackson had thrown 65 pitches in 5 2/3 shutout innings, then came back to finish the inning and is still in after seven. Am I on crack or is this really unusual?

In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby. -
Yes...and I don't know about the unusual. -
It's something not often seen anymore. It used to be common, but, like scheduled doubleheaders, complete games, 10-man pitching staffs, and national reporters who report rather than instigate, it's almost extinct.Only the madman is absolutely sure. -Robert Anton Wilson, novelist (1932-2007)
Faith is believing what you know ain't so. -Mark Twain, author and humorist (1835-1910)
A great many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices.
