Hirschbeck called strike three on an outside pitch, and an irate Alomar argued the call, causing him to be kicked out of the Baltimore Orioles-Toronto Blue Jays game on September 27.

...good pitch. Weary Netizens know all too well that browsing the World Wide Web these days is less like surfing than like crawling: data drips like molasses onto your computer screen, sometimes taking several minutes to create a single page of text and graphics. If you want to download, say, a 5-minute rock video, you'll have time to catch a quick meal--maybe even a movie--while the phone line churns away...
