Last night, Dontrelle Willis made history. He is the first pitcher on the Marlins to win 20 games in a season. Not only that, but he is also only the 13th African American pitcher to do so. Incidentally, just as a book called 12 Black Aces is scheduled to come out. Heeheehee. I can just imagine the author of that book hearing about last night's game and going, "Daaaaaaamn!!"

It was so cute last night as we watched on TV. Dontrelle had been taken out of the game in the 7th inning, so he was watching from the dugout as the game finished, and everybody was coming up to him to congratulate him. Lenny Harris and Alex Gonzalez in particular were very jubilant. A.J. Burnett also gave him a lengthy hug after the last pitch. Nobody escaped hugs, though: Dontrelle insisted on enveloping everybody, right down to the bullpen catcher, in a big bear hug. Also cute was rookie Jason Vargas hovering around, waiting for his turn to hug the new ace.

It was awesome. :)

I wish people would stop talking about Oscar possibilities for Keira Knightley. I mean, come on. I'm excited about the film, but I'm not that excited. Judging from the clips, it's not exactly Oscar material. These kinds of expectations bother me almost as much as the persistent bashing.
