Last week, the Cleveland Indians completed a triple steal. It was sort of dumb luck, actually.

One of their runners got picked off on first, the runners on first, second, and third broke, and the throw home was bad but not bad enough to call it an error. This happened against the chronically ill-fated Chicago White Sox. Ha, ha!

Neither manager was particularly proud of the event.

I, for one, think it's pretty cool. I'm just glad it didn't happen against the Minnesota Twins.

There was some recent big news on the donkey basketball front: http://www.theonion.com/content/video/2_year_old_donkey_called_up_to?utm....

My favorite part of this video is the analysis of the donkey basketball league newcomer, Scraps. When one of the announcers says, "I like his moves, and I've seen a lot of donkeys move," another matter-of-factly replies, "Yes you have."

That, according to the Onion newspaper's online edition. (FYI, if you don't know the Onion: This is a joke.)
