Baseball 2, Avians 0

 I don't know if the good Lord is a baseball fan. If he is, I hope he's rooting for the Oakland A's these days, seeing how their scuzzball owner is about to move the team to Las Vegas, and is giving fans in Oakland one last kick in the nuts for old times' sake on his way out the door.

You let the stadium fall apart AND you put a trash Triple A team on the field as a parting gift? Classy.

But I digress.

("Constantly," you're saying)

My real point here is, I don't know if the Almighty likes baseball, but apparently he's pretty hot at birds these days. Because it hasn't been a good two weeks for the latter.

Last week, see, Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Zac Gallen killed a bird in mid-flight while warming up in the outfield prior to a game (against the A's, ironically). 

Last night, Cleveland Guardians rookie Will Brennan smoked a liner that killed a bird wandering the infield grass in Cleveland.

Imagine that bird's last thoughts.

Oh, look, here are some nice grubs. And I think there's a worm down here, too! This is gonna be a feas-

So, Baseball 2, Avians 0. And a warning to any future bird-killers from those of us who know our Hitchcock:

You're winning now. But remember Tippi Hedren.
