On this day in 1960, the F.D.A. approved the use of the birth control pill.

Decoy:
Ha. And, on this day in 1989 NY Mets Kevin Elster, commits an error after 88 errorless games at shortstop.
(Tue May 9, 2000 - 3:47:06 pm)
Decoy:
More on that: The previous major league mark for errorless games by a shortstop was 95 set by Ripken in 1990...The old single season record in the National League was 63, set by Montreal's Spike Owen, also in 1990...In addition, the old NL mark for errorless games by a shortstop in more than one season was 88 games by the Mets' Kevin Elster in 1988 and 1989.

Decoy:
Oops, that makes more sense if I say that Rey Ordonez set a major league record for errorless games by a shortstop by not committing an error in his final 100 contests of 1999. I don't know what that streak ended up at.
(Tue May 9, 2000 - 3:58:02 pm)
Decoy:
But what I was really looking to get at was that on this day ESPN is reporting that the Mets have placed baseball's all-time stolen base king on outright waivers, thus getting rid of a clubhouse problem but leaving the team without a true leadoff hitter.

Now he has twelve this year right? And he's hitting .127? The guys suckdiddliucks. Trade his ass.

Chewing Wax:
That must have been why he was free to play cards with you.
(Tue May 9, 2000 - 4:00:28 pm)
Decoy:
Must have been. Well, I didn't read the news until just now, it was a busy morning.

I'm just saying

I hope he has the good sense to stay away from those crazy Gonzalez people. They might not let him leave.

Call Janet and get her down there. Let's see, immigration is allowed for needed services like Doctors, scientists, and lead-off hitters.

When's that released? I just got my Caddyshack and Blazing Saddles yesterday and haven't unwrapped them yet.
(Tue May 9, 2000 - 4:19:32 pm)
Decoy:
Not yet, just pre-orders. It didn't have a date on Amazon. 17 bucks is pretty good for that, though.
(Tue May 9, 2000 - 4:24:22 pm)
Chewing Wax:
Amazon's staggering losses are our gains.
