R.A.'s streak is now 2nd only to Hershiser's

What an accomplishment

Hershiser's streak really needs to get more admiration from the general fan. It's more impressive than DiMaggio's.

Was looking at his stats; In 1986, he had a 3.85 ERA. 90 ERA+. Edward Mujica's 4.68 ERA this year give him a 90 ERA+. Just crazy the difference in run differentials between generations.

Kevin Youkilis is one of the most oddly shaped human beings in professional athletics. His torso is giant and cylindrical — he looks like a cartoon poor person wearing a barrel. He is completely bald — like, aggressively bald, like he hates hair — except for a fiery red goatee bush that tumbles out of his face like Play-Doh from a fun factory. When he hits, he stands with his feet so close together the ump could tip him over with one quick index-finger jab to the sternum — an action that must have been tempting for many umps over the years — and as he raises the bat above his head and aims the barrel back toward the pitcher in a manner any Little League coach would surely curtail ("No, Kevin, not like that, that's all wrong … just … is your dad here? I need to talk to him"), his hands are a foot apart on the handle of the bat, and he then slowly slides them toward each other as the pitcher moves through his delivery. It's fucking insane. ("Kevin? Buddy? Hands together, buddy. See? Like this? … Is your dad here?") From this stevedore's frame, alopecic head, and just completely goofy stance came a truly elite ballplayer. Who is also kind of a dick.

I saw it on my phone this morning and I can't remember who it was now but a reporter tweeted out that Youkilis said "Fuck you" to Bobby V when walking passed him when he was saying good bye to guys in the dugout after he was pinch ran for.

[Namaste]

Doubt it
