#Dogs can get kinda funky, it's true. #Singles #loveintheair #newyork-single.com
i actually prefer the smell of ferrets to wet #Dogs. something about that wet dog smell doesn't sit with me. #Singles #takingnotes #newyork-single.com
Pet shops are a good place to start a conversation with people. I love talking to people who bring their #Pets into the pet shop. Usually #Dogs, but sometimes #Other #Pets too. #Singles #saintsfan #newyork-single.com
I have often thought there is a good reason we don't breed house #Cats to be as big as some #Dogs like Great Danes or Newfoundlands. #Singles #saintsfan #newyork-single.com

Prologue
In 1996, Greg Maddux lost the sixth and final game of the World Series. Jeter, and Boggs, and Bernie Williams had taken his best pitches the other way, had stacked up a double handful of singles, and they beat him 3-2.
He said something very odd. "It's hard to get people out," said Mad Dog, "If all they want is a single."

Q. What is the usual "script" for Erasmo Ramirez?
A. He paints with the fastball and uses two "plus" offspeed pitches to draw swinging strike threes.
That sounds cliche, but the healthy Erasmo Ramirez walked a mere 1.83 batters per nine innings in 2012. He's got Rob-O-Tronic mechanics, simply Madduxian down the centerline, and his command (then) was truly elite.
He's one of a very few pitchers who can walk 2 men per game, and yet draw 7+ strikeouts (Doug Fister, Cliff Lee, Adam Wainwright, Hisashi Iwakuma, now David Price). In 2012, he scored an 11.3% swinging strike rate -- compare Clayton Kershaw last year at 11.4%. At his best, he's actually one of the 10-20 top swing-and-miss guys in baseball.

Q. Did Tuesday night's game follow this script?
A. Not at all. He had his "B" game out there, had all kinds of problems hitting his spots, missing lots of pitches wildly off the plate ...
He wound up with a 67% strike ratio, which is sky high. But as you can clearly see, a lot of that was because the Angels were going after sucker pitches and fouling them off. The strike ratio doesn't do justice to how much he labored.

Even though it's cash only and drinks are ordered separately, Mississippi River Bottom remains a popular sports bar in the NOLA area. This French Quarter favorite features great crawfish and other seafood, and it's well known for its three-legged mascot dog.
