something about the base runner (who is a pitcher) reminds me of a certain Jays' reliever...

Wow that made me laugh out loud while dead tired at 9:30am. Good show.

This is why AL GMs hate interleague play. Imagine the panic if Henderson Alvarez did that.

Todd Stottlemyre? Wasn't he a starter when that happened?

lol wow. what's almost as funny as the slide was the atrocious relay throw. poor pitcher woulda been DOA'd if the relay man didn't bounce it half way to home.

i think he's referring to the overweight jesse litsch

Must have missed the Litsch slide. Was it comparable to the Fausto Carmona debacle at first base?

EDIT: OK, because he's fat, not because of a slide. Never mind.
