So they basically feel exactly the same as I do about it.

Still I almost ran my car off the road when the local radio guys said 'Texas loses again so now the Baltimore Orioles have the best record in the American League'

I heard on the radio a quick score that the Royals shut out the Yankees.

So I looked at the standings for the first time all season.  Yankees are last in the AL East, and Royals 2nd last in the Central.

The Red Sox are also in last place in the AL East. And I don't know if MLB has a tie breaker for determining who is in 4th place in a division, but if they do, and if it is head to head, then technically the Yankees are not in last place. Just the Red Sox.

Hold your head high BB, because regardless of the tie break rules that team the Royals shut out is definatively out of last place.  Just don't brag too much when the Royals beat the Red Sox, because they now have an undisputed claim to last place.

Last out of a college playoff game.  The homerun would have tied the game

Todd Frazier, former Rutgers star, saves person's life by performing Heimlich Maneuver
Published: Tuesday, May 29, 2012, 11:56 PM     Updated: Wednesday, May 30, 2012, 12:07 AM

Todd Frazier has had a memorable stint in the majors since being called up to the Cincinnati Reds in mid-April, but it's doubtful what he did Tuesday can be topped.

The former Rutgers baseball star saved a person's life in Pittsburgh, according to MLB.com.

Frazier and teammate Ryan Ludwick were eating a restaurant when they noticed someone choking. Because Frazier was closest to the choking victim he sprang into action and performed the Heimlich.

"I said 'I think that dude is choking over there'," Frazier recounted to the site. "He was a little obese and there were two women side-by-side trying to give him the Heimlich. [Ludwick] said get over there because I was the closest one. So I went over there and was yelling at them to get out of the way. They did and I gave two pumps and it came out."

So to rehash, Frazier's past week:

Thursday -- He hits a game-winning walkoff homerun.

Sunday -- He hits a homerun after letting go off his bat mid-swing.

Tuesday: He saves a life AND goes 2-for-3 with a double, a triple and 2 RBI. Oh, and one free meal for saving a man's life.

"He paid for our lunch, which he didn't have to do and said thanks a couple of times," Frazier said. "It was pretty surreal. I have never done that before."

Community College at that.  It is amazing how good you have to be even to play at that level.

Speaking of College check this out from the SEC tournament: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=LYcNbBnicm4

Wow, never seen that before. Wonder, if the delay on the guy at 1st base was planned, or was he supposed to go off with the others?

Yes the delayed steal from first to draw the throw while the guy on third steals home is a classic College Baseball manuever.  I have just never seen it done with the bases loaded before.

Were they playing baseball?

Valmy was that the triple steal by Vandy?  I haven't seen it but heard about it on Twitter.

EDIT just watched the video, that was good.

Yep.  It was awesome.  I mean even when you do that move conventionally the guy delaying from first is usually sacrificed for the run.  That was wild.

He also made it clear that he's "never been a fan of the DH," an idea so heinous it could have only have been cooked up by conservatives.

Wow, the bucs are 30-27, and have won 10 of their last 13 games, AND have one their last four series (including away series in Milwaukee and Cinci).
