Baseball managing made more interesting
Today's gas can of the day goes to Lance Carter of the Devil Rays not only for his 3 run implosion yesterday, but also for causing Lou Piniella to invent a new managing strategy. In an article in the St. Petersburg Times, Piniella stated that he would, starting tonight, begin games with a reliever to pitch the first inning or two. He would then go to the pitcher who would have normally been the starter in hopes of getting to the 9th and closer Danys Baez.
For forcing an entire change in managerial strategy, Lance Carter is indeed the gas can of the day.

"Can you pretend I'm amazing?
I can pretend I'm amazing
Instead of what we both know
I cut to the punch line baby
Can you pretend I'm amazing
Instead of what we both know"
Blue October -- "Amazing"

Love the quote, but don't forget the various countdowns. (In addition to Paranoia, you now also need a "Countdown to Sadness" :)
I apologize for the oversight. The countdowns will be added shortly.
