Today's Texts

This is a new installment to the Evan Winkofsky blog.

"Today's Texts" will feature my comments on texts that I receive from friends and family.

These texts don't fall into a category of being extremely hilarious or interesting just ones that I feel should be shared.

The First Ever Today's Text is...

(TXT) Cardinals pitcher is hitting 8th and their shortstop is batting 9, weird.
(Me) This is why I hate the NL.

As a fan of the AL central leading Chicago White Sox I never want to see a pitcher batting... period.

Who do I want batting with two outs in the 5th inning in a tie ball game?  Bronson Arroyo, I think not.  The answer: a designated hitter any one of them.


Why? Because it is flat out more interesting and entertaining to watch.  Do I want a pitcher that swings like Pedro Cerrano at the dish who "no hit curveball".  Absolutely not I want a dude that can send one out into the right field porch.

End of story.  The DH is the real deal.  And I know them's fightin words to all you baseball purists but I really don't care.  Your baseball is boring.

I don't go to the park to watch some dude wearing a warm up jacket lay down a bunt...
