This really is the worst call, ever

If you missed it, Armando Galarraga of the Detroit Tigers almost - almost - pitched a perfect game yesterday against the Cleveland Indians.

Almost.

And then this happened..

The video includes the live coverage of the play, the instant replay, the slow replay, and the audio footage (warning: even with bleeps, probably not entirely safe for work) of the interview with the first base umpire, who should probably avoid Detroit for the next few days. Or weeks. Or months.

Oz blogging: The Silver Princess in Oz

Today's Oz post is about The Silver Princess in Oz, the book that left me depressed, and almost put me off this project entirely.

With that said, if you read no other of my Oz posts from here on out, read this one - and the one about Merry-Go-Round in Oz, coming up last.

I can also assure you that the posts will get merrier from here. Much more so.
