Baseball entries for yesterday

You know, I've been keeping a separate baseball blog for the last month (called, appropriately enough, "Seattle Marinerds") and just copying and pasting entries occasionally between these two. It seems silly. I just made a buncha posts there, so here they are:

Game Report: Mariners vs. Angels, aka Holy Ichiro Catch!
First basemen, new and old
Major League Baseball Commercial Awards


The commercials entry might actually be interesting to people. Notably, there's this one awesome Oakland A's commercial, which has a director, talking to Jason Kendall:

Director: So, Jason, this is your first commercial for the A's?
Jason Kendall: Ayup.
Director: So when I call action, Kotsay's gonna run and crash into you at full speed. Then Mister Macha here's gonna douse you with kerosene. Then when I cue him, Swisher here's gonna light you on fire. *pause* Whatever you do, don't drop the ball.
JK: Gotcha. *looks over at the outfield* Hey, uh, what about that bulldozer?
Director: Oh, that doesn't run over you until later.
JK: Oh! Okay, let's go!
