Here's a little online exchange that cracked me up yesterday in a discussion of yesterday's major-league baseball draft on the fantasy baseball board that I hang at. The top pick was college pitcher Stephen Strasburg from. He was chosen by the Washington Nationals, who have had a terrible bullpen this year.
Circle360: If Strasburg signs early the Nationals might feel the need to have him pitch in the majors this year, Which might not be in his best interest since he has already thrown a bunch of innings this year.
Patioboater: If they want to keep his innings down they could maybe just use him to pitch just one inning a game, the ninth, and only when the Nats have a close lead. He couldn't do any worse than the current assortment in their bullpen.
Of course, my 13-inch beagle couldn't do any worse than the current assortment.
Frank Noto @ HQ: What's her out pitch?
Patioboater: The "roll on my back and ask you to scratch my belly" pitch. That may not sound all that effective, but it would be an improvement on what Julian Tavarez has been throwing so far this year.
Howie M: The beagle already scratches like a big leaguer, I hear.
Patioboater: ... and she has fewer fleas than Joe Beimel.

And her stretch is remarkable. Don't forget her stretch! Plus, if she licks the ball before each pitch... well, the aroma alone might cause a few batters to back off!
