My favorite MLB trivia question of all time. If you remember this from a few years back [it is a repeat, IIRC] sit on your hands and let the other guys take a swing:
Only one time in all of MLB history has an entire team finished a complete game with the exact same batting average they had before the game started.
Who, when, and why?

Bryce Harper hit a 460 foot home run to centerfield today. Set a record for longest home run at Nationals Park.
Too bad bad they lost the game to the Phillies 3-5.
Dang it!

Paul, my friend........the Senators exist in DC for only two reasons:
1. To prevent Congress from revoking the anti-trust exemption for MLB. They rattled that sabre for years to force a team to go there - hence the relocation of the Expos, who were actually owned by MLB at the time.
2. To break your heart. Not Cubs-class break your heart, but nonetheless............

Well, my Tigers came back after yesterday's fiasco.
I am now a HUGE fan of improved international relations with Cuba.
Cespedes had 6 RBI in his first two at bats today............
Got him in a trade past off season with the BoSox for a pitcher. Porcello who???
10-2, with the best record in MLB.

Word of Warning:
The Yankees are in Detroit for the next four games. If they lose, I will whine and make excuses.
BUT...If they win...
I will rub your nose in it and gloat.
I am never wrong.
Well...I thought I was wrong once...but I was mistaken.

You didn't quote the whole thing. If I'm not mistaken it goes like this...
" .....the last time the Tigers started 9-1, they won the World Series. That was 1984
The previous time the Tigers started 9-1? They won the World Series. That was 1968.
However, THIS time the Tigers started 9-1...and will probably choke, because...well...that's what they do."
I am never wrong.

Makes me think Colorado sweeping them was no big deal...as is apparent the last 4 games.

OK - help me out here - I don't understand this one bit....
When a bullpen pitcher goes to play for the Tigers, is he required to bring his own can of gas to pour on the fire, or does the team issue one to him?
This is deja vu all over again.............

OK, so if a pitcher paints the corners he's called a Rembrant? Never in my life heard that one before and now that I've heard it everyday for a week or more I'm sick of baseball. Oh, that and the Twins are headed for another 90+ losses for the 5th year in a row.
