30 runs in one game!

Speaking of impressive baseball numbers, we now have to add the Texas Rangers scoring 30 runs last in the first game of a doubleheader in Baltimore, the first time in the modern baseball era any team has has a 3 in the tens digit column. Some scoreboards around the league were unable to support any digit other than "1". We've seen home run records broken three times in the past 110 years (Ruth over Roger Connor, Aaron over Ruth, Bonds over Aaron), but only once have we seen 30 runs scored in a game, and that was last night. Amazing, simply amazing.

P.S. History will likely forget that the Orioles were ahead 3-0 through three innings, but dammit, as an Oriole fan I feel obliged to note that.

P.P.S. My favorite oddball stat related to this game might be that the last time the neighboring Baltimore Ravens gave up 30 points in a football game was over a season ago.

"The courts knew this and nothing more
And now it's my rights versus yours
The truth in one free afternoon
A new empire in rags"
