Hit by Pitch

Cards' K. Greene hit by pitch on ankle after homer, leaves game

St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Khalil Greene limped off the field after being hit by a pitch on the right ankle Sunday against the Kansas City Royals.

Interesting discussion last season about Tony's perception of pitchers hitting batters. Seems like two things: the batter oughtta be able to dodge, and the pitcher oughtta be able to control where he pitches. In a game of chicken like that, I would blink first, since the ball would be coming at me at about 90 mile per hour. Heck, I don't know if I could actually dodge a car at that speed. But then again, if a car is going that fast on a baseball diamond, something else has gone terribly wrong.
