Baseball, a brief update

 And now a quick peek at what went on in baseball over the weekend, which will involve the Blob's cruddy Pittsburgh Pirates in a sort of bank-shot way, which means the Blobosphere commence bitching and moaning.

("Bitch!" you're saying. "Moan!")

So, OK, then.

In this quick peek we go to San Diego, where on Friday night something happened that had never happened in the history of the hometown Padres. What happened was, a pitcher named Joe Musgrove from just up the road in El Cajon threw a no-hitter, striking out 10 Texas Rangers along the win. Sort of incredibly, considering the Padres have been around for 52 years, it was the first no-hitter in club history.

Not so incredibly, guess from whom the Padres acquired Musrgrove.

Thaaat's right, boys and girls. The Cruds. 

And  just going by precedent, Pittsburgh probably dealt him to San Diego for two gently used Kurt Bevacquas, a Nate Colbert and a Steve Garvey with one corner missing. Because, you know, baseball cards make such a cool sound when you stick them in your bicycles spokes.  

Oh, the humanity.
