1. Well...looks like the steroid testing is working out...
NOT. *snort*

The sports guys here were going on about them doing something to the baseballs this morning.

2. the White Sox announcers are saying the ball is juiced
With all the steroids talk, theyd be crazy to keep taking them.

Who knows whats up.

6. I just checked the balls. They don't look juiced to me.
Maybe someone should look into whether those bats are being corked.

7. combination of factors
1. the ball IS juiced, but by my recollection it's been juiced since at least the early 90s, so that isn't as much a factor anymore.
2. Crap Triple A-level diluted pitching
3. Pitcher's mound lowered and was never raised back up
4. Minature strike zones (even smaller ones for the star hitters)
5. Laughably small hitters' ballparks
6. and of course, semi-legal "performance enhancing supplements"

yes, in this era of musclemen, instant offense and church-league-softball-game scores, sometimes my favorite sport can be hard to watch

4. I had a two-run double off the wall
Two singles and a sac fly. Four RBI.

Not a bad day.
