Neither will Dirty Harry. Watch your back Ketchup Lovers.

Harry Callahan: No, this stuff isn't gettin' to me. The knifings, the beatings, old ladies being bashed in the head for their Social Security checks,teachers being thrown out of a fourth-floor window because they don't give As, that doesn't bother me a bit.

Burly Detective: Come on, Harry. Take it easy.

Harry Callahan: Or this job, either. Having to wade through the scum of this city, being swept away by bigger and bigger waves of corruption, apathy and red tape. Nah, that doesn't bother me. But you know what does bother me?
Burly Detective: What?

Harry Callahan: You know what makes me really sick to my stomach?

Burly Detective: What?

Harry Callahan: Is watching you stuff your face with those hot dogs. Nobody, I mean NOBODY puts ketchup on a hot dog.

I am legit surprised the vast majority of pundits think the Jays can win the Division.

My goal, and what will make me happy, is if they can at least stay competitive into mid-August. After that point, I'll be happy.

Lets look back at one of the best games ever. July 26th 2011. Pirates @ Braves. 19 innings of hiliarious baseball.

It had everything from the Devil Child yeling "Lets go Pirates" in your ear for 5 hours to our hero Cup Man savior of abandoned cups.

to the braves intentionally walking someone to get to mccutchen with SCOTT PROCTOR on the mound.

and it had Scott Proctor, somehow, someway throw 3 scoreless innings, 52 pitches to get the win.

How did Scott Proctor throw three scoreless ininings? HOW?! Every damn pitch of his should have been destroyed.

But it all ended in glorious fashion on one of the best plays ever.

Reliver Batting with Game on the Line. Check
Play at the plate in the bottom of the 19th inning? Check.
Greatest call in baseball history? Check.
Scott Proctor Face Planting when running out of the box? Check.
Clint Hurdle looking to murder the umpire? Check.

and then they played 10 innings the next night. And the pirates who were above .500 and were looking to do so for the first time since 1992 collapsed and finished the season below .500 again.

We need more games like this in 2016.

edit: also more hilarious is that the Pirates never used their closer in that game.
