Saints Host First Ever 0-K As Part of Running of Pigs

ST. PAUL, MN (April 11, 2012) – Move over Usain Bolt the title of “World’s Fastest Human” is about to be claimed by a runner in St. Paul. The Saints Ninth Annual Running of the Pigs, in conjunction with HealthPartners and Scheels, is guaranteed to set a world record with the inaugural 0-K race that highlights the morning.

On Saturday, April 21 the Saints will host a race perfect for an ultra marathon runner or couch potato. The 0-K race is the only competition in the world where everyone is on a level playing field. “Runners” in the 0-K receive a special t-shirt that says, “Zer0K World Record Holder,” a cold beverage following their grueling race, a post-race meal and a ticket to a future Saints game.

Old Time Family Baseball: Drew Butera Got a Hit!
oldtimefamilybaseball

Drew Butera

(Blindingly Fast Butera captured by NJ Baseball)

In the Twins 3-2 victory against the White Sox earlier today, Drew Butera got a hit to break his 0-for-22 slump. Or you could say that he is still mired in his 6-for-54 slump, though he has added two walks to his ledger. You have to give him that because do otherwise would be cruel.

Butera is now hitting a robust .111 on the season for the Twins who are now 9.5 games out of first place. The good news for Butera is that there is no non-pitcher in the last 50 years with more than 50 at-bats who hit for such a low average. The bad news is that if Drew Butera’s season ended today, he would be the first. Think the Twins miss Joe Mauer or Wilson Ramos much? 

John Danks (8 IP, 3 ER) unfortunately took the loss and is now 0-5 despite a 3.83 ERA and 36/14 K/BB ratio.

At some point you have to admire Bud Selig. No, really. You do. Because after all these years, with the world still telling him he’s wrong about the way he runs his All-Star Game and without a shred of compelling evidence in his defense, Selig just sits there and takes it. Doesn’t care how stupid he looks.

It’s impressive, really.

That kind of self-confidence, delusional as it may be, is remarkable. We should all go through life as tunnel-visioned as Selig, not hearing anything being said or reading anything being written about us. He’s kind of like the religious zealots that walk through my neighborhood, knocking on doors, waving their literature and having our doors slammed in their faces.

Still they come back. Why? Because they’re convinced they’re right, and there is peace in such conviction. The rest of the world thinks they’re spooky and possibly insane – but here they come again, walking up my driveway.

Impressive, really.

And we’re off. Gerrit Cole to the Pirates and the first surprise belongs to the Mariners as they select Danny Hultzen instead of Anthony Rendon. 

Baseball’s got the draft right, though. Why would we want to see the big name players called on stage? Just give me my Bud and I’ll be right as rain.

I bet the Pirates pick was blacked out in Pittsburg…

Major League Baseball, which saw Jackie Robinson break the color barrier in 1947, Tuesday will announce incremental progress in another civil rights issue. The new collective bargaining agreement adds “sexual orientation” to its section on discrimination, a person with direct knowledge of the agreement told the Daily News.

Article XV, Section A of the MLB’s expiring Basic Agreement, in effect from 2006-2011, states: “The provisions of this Agreement shall be applied to all Players covered by this Agreement without regard to race, color, religion or national origin.”

In the new agreement, which will be made public Tuesday afternoon, the words “sexual orientation” will be added to the equivalent section.

This decision follows that National Football League, which did the same in their CBA this year. Baseball officials familiar with the process describe the mention of “sexual orientation” as not necessarily related to the NFL, and as a provision readily agreed upon by both union and league negotiators.

The change in wording comes at the end of a significant year for gay rights issues. The military abolished its “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy, and same-sex marriage became legal in New York state. In baseball, several teams filmed an “It Gets Better Video,” an anti-bullying effort aimed at lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender youth.

The New York Daily News, “MLB To Add ‘Sexual Orientation’ to Discrimination Clause.”

Progress.
