Don’t think; just throw, meat.

Reading the account of Gagne’s second blown save brought to mind Bull Durham, which is a great baseball movie. Talk about life imitating art.

Gagne, who had blown only 10 saves in 187 chances before this season, regretted shaking off Kendall before throwing the fastball to Patterson. “He called a changeup and I shook him off, so that’s going to teach me a little bit,” Gagne said. “It’s one of those things where you think you know everything in baseball, but you learn something new every day. “I had him set up perfect for a changeup, but I didn’t throw it. I got a little greedy and got really into the crowd. I wish I had thrown a changeup, but you can’t take it back now.”

Trek v. LeMond

This is not a discussion of the difference between bike lines; Trek is suing LeMond (and vice-versa). I can’t believe I never thought about it before, but Greg LeMond and Lance Armstrong were both affiliated with Trek. For those of you that don’t know, Greg LeMond seems to have an inferiority complex with LA, as his criticism started right about the time Lance won more titles than him. Interesting theater. The full complaint is here.
