A little bit of Stengelese tonight:
There are three things you can do in a baseball game. You can win, or you can lose, or it can rain.

MVP of Yesterday (May 1, 2013): Jordan Zimmermann
Mike Napoli had a great day at the plate, going 3-4 with 2 HRs, but that came in a blowout win. Jordan Zimmermann, however, went 8 scoreless innings in a tight 2-0 Nationals’ win over the Braves. With Strasburg having early struggles, Zimmermann is currently the ace of the Nationals’ staff. This is Zimmermann’s 2nd MVP of Yesterday, and it makes him the first pitcher with more than one.

One week until the 1st Anniversary Spectacular!
Why haven’t there been as many big, long articles on the Continuum of late? Well, as I’ve said earlier, it has to do with the fact that coming up is the Baseball Continuum 1st Anniversary Spectacular! It’ll have new installments of the some of the most popular and notable features of the Continuum, such as Bizarre Baseball Culture and a more in-depth version of Famous For Something Else, follow-ups on some of my favorite articles and observations, and also featuring some appearances by others from around the baseball internet who are nice enough to answer my e-mails with something other than a polite decline and/or complete silence. Yes, on May 8, you’ll see the largest number of posts on this blog in memory. And it’ll be for you, the people who have provided the Continuum tens of thousands of views over the last year.
So, uhm, yeah. May 8. 1st Anniversary Spectacular. Be there.
MVP of Yesterday (April 30): Tim Hudson
Tim Hudson threw 7 innings of 3-hit ball, giving up one run. But don’t worry, he got that run right back with a home run of his own.

“If a man can beat you, walk him.”
“I ain’t ever had a job, I just always played baseball.”
