Syphilitic Magic Number*

One of my favorite aftershocks of Roy Halladay’s perfect game is that — seriously, I’m not lying here — the Baltimore Sun asked Kevin Millwood, the 0-5 ace of a 15-36 team, for his reaction. It’s funnier than Caddyshack that they think anybody, anywhere cares one iota about anything any Oriole has to say about any topic. But I digress.

“I’m happy for him,” Millwood said. “I think it’s cool when anybody does something like that, but my reaction was ‘Oh that’s cool, good for him’, then I went on to eating my steak. It didn’t change my night or anything.”

Aw, I hope that steak tasted good, Kevie-poo. This SMN* update is for you!
