Raise the mound

The Texas Rangers rounded the bases at a dizzying pace and became the first team in 110 years to score 30 runs in a game, setting an American League record Wednesday in a 30-3 rout of the Baltimore Orioles.

Maybe baseball should raise the pitcher's mound so we can go back to those thrilling 1-0 games of yesteryear.

Interesting, the Denver Post reported that it was Baltimore that scored 30 runs.

I previously asked the sports editor why it was that they kept making these glaring mistakes.

His answer, "We are very busy here, you cannot expect us to get everything correct."

Newspapers are generally worthless.
