Seriously, when the hell will women get to the major leagues? And I will be SO PISSED if they create a separate women's league. Because that worked so well for the WNBA. Just let us all play together!!!
Oh, baseball. How I do love thee. And badass young girls with arm-cannons? Even more love. That is awesome. And it makes me want to learn how to pitch- change-ups and sliders and, of course, my favorite: BREAKING BALLS. That is and actual baseball term, for the non-baseballers out there.
Forget Bristol Palin -- let's let this girl be the spokesperson against letting boys get all the way to home. Marti would never take the mound without the appropriate glove.
I was there and cheered for her! It was a beautiful July-like day for Keystone Kops baseball. The Mets sucked just a bit less than the Nats did. I'm hoping Minaya is looking into signing this young woman up as a fifth starter.
Could he say "against the boys" a few more times? OMG, against BOYS?? It's not like 12 year old boys are some kind of ferocious physical competition for 12 year old girls.
i know! I'm not even really a fan anymore, but I still like came in my pants a teeny bit when Griffey hit his first HR a few weeks ago. Also, I miss Joey Cora.
@athousandmillion: I loved Joey Cora! When my junior hockey team was eliminated from playoffs, I cried. My mom said "You're just like Little Joey Cora crying on second base!" My mom is rad.
I am going back to watching baseball, since the return of Griffey. Also I have a weird softspot for the Jays. Yeah I don't get it...
@CollegeBookworm: PS Mackenzie is still AWESOME. Just... sympathy, please? I think we're still the worst team in baseball, and we were just the worst team in baseball last year. Do I really have to suffer like this two years in a row?
@CollegeBookworm: Hey, c'mon, we TRIED to let you guys win. Our left fielder fell down in a heap just as many times as your center fielder dropped balls!
@CollegeBookworm: That's why I didn't change my allegiance from the Orioles when we got a team. The O's aren't always much better, but we're not starting from scratch and we seem to be doing okay this season. Plus, I grew up on Cal Ripkin.
@lollapulizer: I'm a little late on this, but just to note- I never rooted for the O's. I'm not from Baltimore, I'm from DC, and Angelos is the asshole who kept DC from having a team for most of my life. Let's go Nats!

This girl has 8 pitches? Bet she has a Gyro Ball.

I agree with you, though. Why not just congratulate her on doing something hardly anyone does and call it good?

Because she probably could've beaten the Nats, too.
