As one who is a survivor of this monster, I wish him the absolute best. If anyone can beat this sort of cancer, it's him.

I don't know how uncommon this kind of thing might be....The Brewers and Reds played an intrasquad game yesterday where Brewer pitchers threw 45 pitches, Reds pitchers threw 57 pitches. There was one non-strike the entire game so I guess all hitters just went up swinging at everything. The time of game according to the box was 2:06. With that few pitches (102 total) and no mid-inning pitching changes, why would it take that long to complete the game? It shouldn't have taken more than 90-100 minutes.
