Now you know why they call Maryland the Show Me State.

If you can't be in the house for a Zach Britton start, maybe the best angle from which to watch him pitch would be a straight-on camera in center field -- right behind him, rather than the camera that is positioned just a bit to left-center.
Because that camera angle from straightaway center field gives you a better understanding of how much movement Britton has on his fastball, how different his fastball is and how it swerves away from right-handed hitters, at about 95 mph.
Britton is left-handed and it's difficult to come up with names of many left-handers who can throw that hard, with that much movement -- Jonny Venters of the Braves is one -- which is part of the reason why opposing hitters can look so futile against him. They just don't see many pitchers like Britton in a given month.
In the first week of the season, the Texas Rangers hammered or merely beat every pitcher they had faced, from Jon Lester to Clay Buchholz to Felix Hernandez, but on Saturday, Britton -- throwing that vicious fastball -- completely shut down Texas in the first game of a doubleheader.
Major league baseball was blessed with an incredible class of rookies last year, from Buster Posey to Jason Heyward to Stephen Strasburg to Jaime Garcia. So far this year, the best young player has been Britton.
I'd love to hear Willie's convoluted story where he tries to explain why he's a Yankees fan without coming across as a bandwagoner. What's a dude out in Montana doing a Ohio State and NYY fan? Distant great uncle was from Ohio and distant second cousin from New York?
And, yes. The game was atrocious... I think the blown save against NY where we gave up a 5-0 lead sent us in a downward spiral that we still haven't recovered from.

Willie has explained his Yankeeness in the past and I believe him to be a true fan, not a bandwagoner.

Who is your NBA team? Lakers or Celtics?
The NBA sucks ass. I'll watch all four rounds of a PGA event before I watch a minute of those whiny bitches bounce a pumpkin.

Hey cunt, guess what, you don't know shit. Either do some research or stfu before you spout off and look like an idiot. You're not around enough to know a single fucking thing about it.

Damn, if you've got good reasons for rooting for those teams, I apologize. No need to be a jackass about it.
