Catching up and killing time

First, as my ever so aware audience has pointed out (Thanks Mike), I forgot to award the pewter gas can yesterday. So to catch up the winner of the Gas Can of the Day for July 7 was Roberto Novoa of the Cubs who managed to take a 4-3 lead to 5-4 deficit in 3 batters faced. He was also charged with Atlanta 6th run as the last batter he faced reach and later scored.

For today's winner, we look to the New York Beltrans (for those who don't know me that would be the Mets) and Mr. Braden Looper. Mr. Looper came into a game with the Pirates with the bases loaded 2 outs in the 9th inning of a 5-1 game and proceed to force extra innings. Then for good measure gave up a game-winning hit with 1 out in the 10th inning. This was an effort worthy of Johnny Storm

Song Lyric of the Day
'Please pay your attention right above the center ring
Up in the rafters, 500 feet above the crowd
My hair is soaked in kerosene
My clothes are wet with gasoline
You only get to see this once
The human torch is going down"
