Nice to see the Orioles pitcher from yesterday come out and say he didnt mean to drill Posada, and was sorry it happened. It drives me crazy when pitchers unintentionally hit somebody but still stand there looking like an asshole, which only stokes a fire that doesn't exist. I know there's a code of toughness that players follow, but 90% of hit batters are unintentional. You're throwing a ball from 60 feet away at 90 mph and demanding that it move in several different directions by the time it hits the plate - the odds of it hitting someone who's standing there should be such that it's okay for the pitcher to wave at the batter "sorry, that was an accident." XMASTIMEThe same thing happened last night, but again I refuse to believe anybody's throwing at someone's head. You still can't convince me Clemens meant to his Piaza in the head all those years ago. Also, when Martin was hit the score was 13-3, so I doubt "revenge!" was on the pitcher's mind as much as "let's just fucking end this game already."
OOooooohhhh...triple moon landing!
