Here's a funny thing that happened. In the Aaron's haste to go on vacation, they didn't specify the exact nature of question 6 to Pamela & Paula Platypus out on the West Coast. Pam called Aaron Uno to get it clarified, and his phone was disconnected. So in order to make it fair, whatever number you had for your answer counted towards pitching & hitting. Good job clearing up the Aardvark's mess, ladies.

Speaking of ladies, it is still women's month in May. Pam & Paula are happy to announce that Tanya is the winner with 2,000 points. This makes Waffles' second win in under a week. Impressive work, Khaleesi. Perhaps Blanky & xoxojackie can tie her score. Also, hey male PSAers...wanna step it up here?

David Phelps pitched well, but everything else went wrong. All I'll say about certain issues last night is that technology can only help so much. Hiroki Kuroda gets the start for the Yankees today against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim with Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra. It'd be really nice if the Yankees could break out of this funk they've been in.
