You've obviously never experienced the feeling of improved ion alignment.
Phiten® Titanium products promote pain relief and performance enhancement. Titanium emits energy that is effective in controlling the flow of bioelectric current. When this current is stabilized, the muscles relax and blood circulation increases, allowing for easier movement and pain relief. All Phiten® products help relieve pain in muscles and joints by improving the alignment of ions, especially at the body’s crucial motor points. Our product is also effective in the temporary relief of pain from bursitis, sciatica, tendonitis, certain types of arthritis and numberous other conditions.

Youk/Drew/Bay in the sixth
if Garza can get through one more inning without allowing more than two runs then the Rays will be sitting awful pretty.
Well actually they'll be sitting pretty under a lot of different conditions

Is anyone else peeved that Gameday has only given us one video highlight?
It’s like they shut it down after they realized the Sox were in trouble. Assholes. I want to see Longo’s homer.

Anyone tell them that even if it was
it doesn’t belong in the 7th inning stretch?
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
I was listening to the Brewers' elimination game on XM
and Uecker kept going off on whoever sang GBA in that game because it lasted a stupidly long time. I think he ragged on it for the whole bottom of the 7th. It was awesome.

In retrospect, Gameday says that the umpiring in that at-bat was inexplicable.
