Looking Backward While Moving Forward: Rays, Cobb Shutout Tigers 3-0

With a pair of starting pitchers posting +55% ground ball percentages, most of us figured that Wednesday night’s match-up between Alex Cobb and Doug Fister would be a pitching dual of the ages.

T-Shirts O-Rama!

Just a quick update: We’ll open the pre-order for these shirts in a few days. Our intention isn’t to pull a profit — we are more or less looking to break even. Any profits will go toward the printing of more these shirts, or ones featuring a different design. We have to see how well these do first. It should be noted that they will be professionally printed on high quality Gildan T-shirts. That said, the shirts will be six dollars each (seven dollars postage paid),though there will undoubtedly be a small PayPal surcharge as well.
