NEW YORK -- By the middle of the seventh inning, the Dodgers had overcome their embarrassing baserunning gaffe, their inability to hit the eminently hittable John Maine and a control-challenged performance by Derek Lowe that didn't last nearly long enough.
You have to develop pitches that are enticing enough to get the hitters to swing at them, but are not in a good hittable location for the batters, either.
I would choose the obvious path to riches: producing dozens of commentaries with titles like "Oral Sex and the Papal Succession: What Commonweal Won't Tell You" until I became the most hittable writer around.
