before today twice
CINCINNATI -- The Brewers bashed their way into the history books on Sunday afternoon, hitting three consecutive home runs to begin the rubber match of a series against the Reds.
Second baseman Rickie Weeks, shortstop J.J. Hardy and third baseman Ryan Braun hit back-to-back-to-back home runs off Cincinnati left-hander Phil Dumatrait in a span of nine pitches. It was the third time in Major League history that a team has hit three homers in a row to begin a game.

The first club to do it was the 1987 Padres, and the 2003 Braves matched the feat against these same Reds.

Proxies
Fool the MLB server into thinking you're logging in from someplace else.  You can even use foreign proxies to watch games on Saturday afternoon.  

Google free proxies to find some.  You may need to try several different ones to find one that works at a reasonable speed.  

Firefox has several extensions that make it easy to switch proxies.

Here are EdE's numbers at the plate going into today since he was recalled from Louisville: .307/.366/.455

His power has only started to come around since the first week of August.  He's been slugging .559 since August 4th.  I don't think he'd do that for an entire season, but it makes me more hopefully that he can be closer to the .500 slugger that I thought he could be.

First of all, that song is bad.  But that truly is one of the most lifeless performances I've ever seen.  It looked like it was all she could do to just walk to her marks.  I'm sure MTV was most disappointed to start the show off with that.

one of the reviews i read
said he was disappointed cris angel didnt make her disappear, so yeah, that was kind of the theme of the night.

i will say that i was a britney fanboy back in the day (for what she was -- a writhing, no-talent sex organism who just made you feel young -- she was great), but watching last night felt like witnessing history. nobody comes back from that. she was much worse than the drunk girl at the bar who gets up and dances on the table, even if that girl faceplants on the floor.
