Baseball Is Poop

Fun While It Lasted
After a week's layoff Bobby Jenks was finally called into a game on August 20th, but he allowed a hit to the first batter (Joey Gathright) to end his streak of batters retired consecutively at 41.

Fun While It Lasted
After 42 scoreless innings Brandon Webb allowed a run in the first inning on August 22nd to the Milwaukee Brewers. With a man on third and one out the Diamondbacks played the infield in to try to preserve the streak. They definitely wouldn't have done it under normal circumstances but I applaud the move. A minor risk in one game to help a guy chase history. Didn't matter because Prince Fielder hit a clean single to drive in the run.

And On The Other Hand
Baltimore Orioles pitchers allowed 30 runs to the Texas Rangers on August 22nd (in the first game of a doubleheader). It's the most runs ever scored in a 9 inning game in the modern era (one team scored 36 in 1897). I could go on for pages about the amazing numbers on this game but you should just look at the box score and read the play-by-play yourself. This is one time you can honestly say you may never see another game like it.
