Tough Day in Baseball

FIRST THERE WAS A CONFUSING BASEBALL GAME in which the Arizona Diamondbacks eliminated themselves from playoff contention by (mysteriously) playing themselves -- and losing.



Here's a picture of the disappointed pitcher for the Diamondbacks, after giving up the game-winning run...against the Diamondbacks.

Very disappointing, I'm sure. I mean, it's bad enough to lose to an opponent, but to get beat so badly by your own team, that'll really sting in the off-season.

Then the Philadelphia police evacuated Citizens Bank Park during a Phillies game after finding a suspicious package that turned out to be some hot dogs.

The best line in the whole news story was this one: "Sadly, the wieners were detonated as a precaution."
