Didn't see it, but the way the D-Backs are playing about the only way they're gonna win. They did win, didn't they?

You don't get any runs and tie for zero. I wouldn't put it past them...

so, an interesting aside:

A few years ago some guys at yale came out with a study claiming that in order for someone to hit a baseball moving at 95 miles per hour that person would have to be "super-human." Funny thing is, it's commonly known (I think) that a no-hitter is a statistical impossibility. So it turns out its impossible for a person to hit a baseball and its impossible for a person NOT to hit a baseball.

Ha ha ha Mary~~~~well...the "Big Unit" is Randy Johnson, he's something like 6'5" and delivers a 95 MPH+ lethal fast ball. He could probably carry you, me and a backpack stove and not even think twice about it. Cy Young awards too in 1999, 2000 and 2001.

Just an FYI

Cy Young in 1995 and 2002 also.

I guess the critics will shut up when it comes to asking if he's still got what it takes.

I chuckle when I think if Randy as my biggest memory of him is the little action figure that was glued at the tip of the Flat iron the day I finally got to the top of the iron! It was kinda like here he is at the top of the world! This was a couple of years ago after the World Series win and I am sure it is gone by now but who'd a thunk that's what you would find up there?
