    ERA, I'm sure about:
    ( ER * 9 ) / IP

    I believe this is how the FBs work, but correct me if I'm wrong:

    4 Seam: straighter and faster
    2 Seam: RHP's 2 seamer breaks right, LHP's 2 seamer breaks left, not as fast

    I know the grips though.

    teabagging is when you drop your sack onto someone's face. i.e. Peyton Manning's favorite extracuricular activity.

    a dingleberry is when **** gets twisted up into little balls and clings to your ass hair.

    Does Miller Lite taste great or is it less filling?

    Should a UFO be classified as a UFO even if it's been identified as a UFO?

    What would be the proper response to the "Just Say No" campaign?

    Why do we write "beyonce" like that instead of "Beyonsae" or "Beyonsey" which would make it easier for people to pronounce in the first place?


    Who is the president of Canada, if he/she exists?

    If the only way to contract HIV is from an infected individual's body fluids, how did the very first person with HIV acquire the virus?

    If someone from Tuscany in Italy is a Tuscan, would that make an individual from Tucson, AZ a Tucson? (and how would it be pronounced?)

    You slide for tag outs, plus it is easier to stop that way. Because there is rarely a tag at first, it is faster to just run through the base, and that is allowed.



    Why aren't there any good Harry Potter trivia board games?

    One thing in baseball I never got the hang of was the numbers for the outs, like when they say "And thats a #,#,# double play." I think I figured it out once, but I must have forgotten it. I'm sure it is something simple as opposed to some of those baseball stats that require a great deal of Calculus and Physics to understand.

    Why is zero such a strange number with so many unique rules?

    About the Cell that will be used in the PS3, how many APU's will there be? Will the GPU be Cell based too? How many FLOPS will it be able to put up and would would be the average FLOPS?

    What new high definition DVD format will win the format war, Blu-ray or HD-DVD?

    How much will the PSP cost and how long will the batteries last for the average game?

    Are these really "dumb questions?"

    How are the Dallas Cowboys leading the league in passing yards?

    Why would a team kneel the ball on a 2pt conversion?

    Pitcher = 1
    Catcher = 2
    First = 3
    Second = 4
    Third = 5
    SS = 6
    Right = 7
    Center = 8
    Left = 9

    So a 6-4-3 double play is a play started by the SS, onto the second baseman, then to the first baseman.

    Actually, I think it's like this:

    2 seam: faster, dips (also known as a sinker)
    4 seam: slower, rises (e.g. "climb the ladder")
