A completely disjointed rant
Today, April 4th 2006, is starting off well. Happy Foiled release day to you all. I'll summarize the joy that is Foiled one day when I get around to music reviews.
Opening day in baseball brings the first installment of the "Gas Can of the Day" award. Each day the pewter can is awarded to the MLB reliever whose performance most negatively affected his team's performance. While there were a number of good stat line candidates yesterday, Only Solomon Torres of the Pirates actually took a loss while the other candidates either imploded with big leads that their teams held on to or imploded late in a blowout. As a result, It is my pleasure to hand out the first award to Solomon Torres.
I need a new pitcher to name the award after. The leader in the clubhouse is the Julian Tavarez Gas Can of the Day award, but feel free to add suggestions through comment.
Song Lyric of the Day
"We talk
Together sharpening a knife
Like killing partners for a life
Hey, we can hide the bodies on the ride home."
Blue October -- "She's My Ride Home"

I don't want to give Julian Tavarez any acknowledgement whatsoever, even an ignominious one like "Gas Can." Maybe "Asshole."
I think "Foiled" is even better the second time through. It has likely established a berth in my car's CD player.
Dude, what about Barry Zito for yesterday's award? It's tough to find a crappier pitching performance than that.
And the award name? Sidney Ponson. Chris Reitsma can be runner up.
To clarify Jeff, the award is intended (except in rare circumstances) to be an award for a relief pitcher. Otherwise Zito's performance last night would be a runaway winner.
You know, if you're memorializing shit relief performances, no one can defeat Byun-Hyung Kim. Though after last year's playoffs, the Brad Lidge Award might work well, at least temporarily (though he's usually a pretty good pitcher).
