I submit some rebuttals

Terry Pratchett died. I'm really sad now.

Ending in the same sense that Naruto was nearing the end during the three years real time war arc. It's probably going to go another year or two.

I like your voice

I swear, if keeping up to date on Bleach took more than two minutes a week, I'd have dropped it fifty chapters ago. This arc is a trainwreck.

The Martian is really good, yeah. I love snark in narrators. For those unaware, the first three lines of the story:

What the everloving fuck?

I need to stop buying footlong sandwiches, I can never eat the last three inches or so. I think I should rephrase that. um what was that part about 4 kids

...Where has Assassination Classroom BEEN all my life?

Watched episode one of Aldnoah Zero. Me: "That looks pretty good, I might check the rest out" *urobuchi* NOPE

Had a dream earlier that I was driving a car from the back seat and got pulled over. My subconscious is about as subtle as a brick to the head.

Just submitted my graduation application for May. don't fuck up don't fuck up don't fuck up

Back at my computer now so I'll go more in depth. Witty's correct about all of what he said. So to explain how a run can score without a hit: A walk puts a runner on first base. Call him A. A sacrifice bunt (the batter deliberately hits the ball very softly in the infield, allowing the runner to get to second base while the batter is thrown out- sacrificing an out for a better chance at the next guy hitting the run in) gets A to second base. An error- let's say batter C hits a ground ball to the second baseman, but he drops the ball, is a baserunner without a hit. That puts runner A on third and C on first. A sacrifice fly- if a fly ball is hit, a batter can "Tag up" by waiting on the base until the ball is caught and then run to home plate/the next base. It's fairly common if the ball is hit far enough, like to near the wall, for a runner to tag up and score. That's how a run can score without a hit- a walk, a bunt, an error, and a sacrifice fly. A perfect game, as a side note, is where a team gets no runners at all to first base. No walks, no errors, no hits. It's pretty rare- 21 times total since 1900. 2012 actually had three, which was incredible. Arguably the coolest perfect game is the one Don Larsen threw in the 1956 World Series. As another side note, there have been 287 no-hitters (that includes perfect games) since 1875. Only 11 of those involved more than one pitcher, and all were in nine inning games. So for a nine-pitcher, ten inning, no-hitter in which two runs scored, you're basically getting lightning in a bottle. Yes, I'm a huge baseball nerd.

I had something written but my iPod accidentally refreshed the page as I went to look something up. Suffice it to say that runs scored in a no hitter has happened only nine times in regular season baseball. And in all of those it was only one run. Spring training has a lot of room for weird shenanigans like this because it's the teams getting the winter out of the systems and experimenting with younger and less tested players.

I'm disappointed Chappie's getting bad reviews. I guess that's a lesson about trailers not being a good enough indicator.

God damn it, Florida.

Less than a week into baseball spring training and we already have one of the weirdest things ever: Nine Atlanta Braves pitchers combined for a ten-inning no-hitter, giving up two runs via walks and groundouts in the process.
