From yesterday: The history of the US presidency in tweets (one tweet per president) -- (link) - mara Feb 18, 11:32
Cuban pitcher beans a couple of batters. Hilarity ensues. -- (link) - zork Feb 18, 11:26 8
- that escalated quickly -- nm - Jovian Feb 18, 11:32
- he will never make the majors, he cannot even hit a 6 foot pitcher. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 18, 11:28 5
  - No shit. If he whiffed on a human, forget hitting a baseball. -- nm - Jim Feb 18, 11:29 4
    - I mean, he did not even graze him. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 18, 11:29 3
      - I think he managed to foul off one there. I'm not convinced that it was a miss. -- nm - zork Feb 18, 11:30 2
        
        I dunno, the pitcher did not react like he was grazed anywhere..... - groiny Feb 18, 11:32 1
        
        Seemed to me that his head moved at the same time rather than reacting. You have to give the batter some credit that he didn't have a set stance -- nm - zork Feb 18, 11:34

  - [deleted]
  - I truly believe this is a factor. -- nm - David Feb 18, 11:24
- I think the only option will be the secondary market and that means they'll be too expensive. :-( - Krusty Feb 18, 11:20 4
  - There's probably a lot reserved for contests and charity auctions too -- nm - ty97 Feb 18, 11:24 1
    - Sends up the Andie signal. I need contest luck help. Must. Win. Tickets. -- nm - Krusty Feb 18, 11:31
  - I think you have to pop for one ticket. - groiny Feb 18, 11:22 1
    - I was at Mattingly's last home game twice. The regular season and the playoff game where he went yard. Best baseball experience ever! - Krusty Feb 18, 11:29
