No, Erik, it was a regular hit. Great, Fred, you ruined the Major League quote. I wouldn't unfilter that kind of language just because, you know. I do have standards. ;) Some standards !! The quote is "......... One God damned hit". but you think I ruined the quote, eh? .... and what was the point of bringing it up in the first place, when it was just posted by somebody else at the top of the page ??? Yeah, standards.

That doesn't seem right We play approx 64 games against the E & W. Every year we get 1 extra series against a team in the East or West due to the fact that we are in a 6 team division and there aren't enough teams in the AL division that matches up with the NLCentral to go around.
