I just got home, so I haven't read any of it

Should I go back and read it?

Is Ziggy ever posting here again?

Does he remember the little people?

Congratulations, Brad Ziegler!

You are now the sole owner of the American League record for scoreless innings to begin a career!

Ziggy Prospect

Ziggy pitched sidearm, jamming bats for Forst and Billy
The SABRs from BART. He pitched wi’ his right hand
He’ll make it this far
Become the setup man, then we’ll be Ziggy’s band

Ziggy really flang, screwed up guys and threw down way low
Like some Chad from the past, he could lick ‘em by sliding
He left no pitches to hang
Came on bases loaded man, well flung and no scores ran.

So where were the SABRs while the guy tried to break groundballs
Just the JUGS gun to guide us,
So scouts bitched about his fans and should we crush his dream plans?

Ziggy pitched for time, thriving with nary a boohoo
The scouts were just crass, but for the A’s
With God given gas
He didn’t get too far but boy could he pitch sidearm

Making outs with his slider Ziggy sucked up into Beane’s mind
Like a Bradford messiah
When the scouts had killed his plan we had to sign up the man.

Oh yeah
Ooooooo
Ziggy piiitched siiiideaaaaaaaaaaarrrrm

And now we know who the NL leader is

George McQuillan, who began his career with 25 in 1907.

Was it tainted in any way?

Did he get a bases loaded HBP overturned or anything?

Any takers that Geren brings in Ebree?

Will he ever learn?

I understand Street in the 9th for upping the trade value, but it’s inexcusable not to use Ziegler for two here.

well who'd get the game ball (if they win)

hopefully I don’t jinx anyone, but who’d get the game ball if they had such a thing, Braden, HannaMontana or Ziegler?
