BIGGIO WAS ALREADY AN IMMORTAL

  • Real sneaky, Craig Biggio, getting the last three hits for 3,000 in a career all on the same night and not dragging out a milestone feat for four days (not that that's referring to any designated hitter on a team in the American League East).

    It's classic Biggio to stay under the radar screen and as far as we're concerned, his plaque in Cooperstown was assured a while ago. He has done enough already: More than 1,800 runs scored (a dozen seasons of at least 94 scored) and more than 3,000 secondary bases, all while playing above-average defence.
  • File this under the heading of "Good god, why?" ESPN is running an eight-part miniseries on the 1977 Yankees (the unintentional comedy and bathos contained in the trailer is off the hook). Wasn't the CBC's Canada-USSR '72 miniseries told in just two parts?

Waiting four days for a home run is "dragging it out"? Hitting a home run every four days gives you 40 homers on the year.

I think I was channelling some of the Toronto media, Tyler.... would that the Hurt gets to 40 homers this season.
