Jason Hirsch is my hero. The seemingly inconsequential Rockies starter was hit by a line drive yesterday against the Brewers. He was immedietly looked at, but it was decided that he could stay in the game. He ended up pitching five more innings and got the win. It has now been discovered that he had a broken leg. If the Cubs win the division by one game I'd like to shake that guy's hand.
If you haven't heard yet, Barry Bonds hit that homerun. The most telling thing that happened last night didn't come from the commissioner's office or Hank Aaron. Instead, it came from the Nationals infielders. If you think back to '98 when Mark McGwire hit number 62 against the Cubs he was congratulated by each infielder on the Cubs squad. The cold shoulder from each Nat infielder seemed to be a huge F-you from the league. It just looked even more that the only person that cares about Barry is Barry, and he cares about nothing else. Maybe I'm wrong and I'm reading too much into this. After all, are the Nats even a major league team?

OK. I'm gonna put a pack of frozen peas on my balls now...
