Wtf...I did not have any idea this would be a controversial topic. Yes, you pop corks. But have you folks never talked about "popping champagne bottles"? This is a weird, weird phrase to be nitpicked.
I'd be somewhat surprised but happy if it indeed happens. I just don't see him fitting. He's sure as hell not gonna start, and with his first inning woes he's not cut out for the bullpen either.
she is ryan reynolds Damn, that is a perfect comparison. Ridiculously attractive blonde-ish person who is kinda funny and has somehow stretched that into playing the exact same person in everything they do.
Derrick Goold made a thing out of it too... http://www.stltoday.com/sports/baseball/professional/cardinals-leave-wrigley-empty-handed/article_764c4314-1861-5c7a-9a44-070e7dc871a4.html
I'm of the opinion that if you are able to dive such that you touch the bag immediately as you contact the ground...like if the runner were diving for a fly ball that would land at the spot where the bag is....then it's faster than running through the bag, but sliding for any actual distance is slower. Obviously this is ignoring injury risk.
