My favorite question: If the universe is expanding, what is it expanding in to? 

Spin's answer is correct, but it raises the question of how space can be created when matter only changes. The best explanation to that I (who probably knows less about it than Spinowner) am aware of is that space is continuous and has no center. When you think about the structure of an atom, it's somewhat similar on a significantly smaller scale than moon to planet, planet to star, star to galaxy, etc. When you think about these relations, it makes sense that in their orbit the galaxies move away from each other, hence the red shift and expansion.

With so much quality you need to find a way to get everyone playing time.

True.  Like I kept being told before the season started, this is the deepest quality talent we've had in a long time :-)

I really want to know why in this day and age it would be an issue. :)

It's not, well, except, I happen to think your wife is pretty nice and wouldn't like to hear you were cheating on her.

Sorry ... reading it over, it didn't really make sense. Sadly, I'm not a geek, so I fail at making geeky posts.

 

They say you don't really understand something if you can't explain it. But then, I never professed to actually understand the red shift and the expanding universe and etc. I'm just intrigued by it.

generous strike zone today?

The letter high first pitch to Park was called a ball, so I assume it's the low borderline pitches that are getting the call?

seems fairly wide too, at least on the inside.
