Geez Keith, that sounds horrible. Friday, summer, southbound on I-5, could be trouble. Still, there should merely be slowdowns around Tacoma, Seattle, Portland.
i gotta think listening to a ballgame in which the pitcher is hitting 99 mph in such traffic has a unique feeling of...irony?
I missed most of the game, but I sure enjoyed that video Doc linked to. That cutter (change? power curve?) on the right handed hitters looked naaaasty.
The last few seasons I'd been paying in the mid teens for the pleasure of Paxton's truncated seasons. This year, I took a post hype flyer on the Tacoma exile and got him for a buck. When he was hitting 99mph with the new arm angle I got so pumped I traded my $3 Salazaar (who had started the season in the minors himself when I made that purchase) for a half season of Altuve, believing I could cover the loss with the New Paxton.
I think I'm going to enjoy this. I was starting to get a bit worried.
