He did it last night! He broke the season doubles record by a switch hitter and he's only five doubles away from beating the all time (I think) record of 60 doubles in one season which was set back in 1936. That would be SO cool!
And dang, that last half inning went by faster than I could type out that paragraph, LMAO

"I tried to play golf, but I found out I wasn't very good." -Joey Votto on his offseason hobby search
An MLB.com reporter asked what one thing Votto couldn’t do. “I can’t skate or play hockey,” Votto said. “Well, I can skate ... but I can’t stop.”
Leadoff walk by Rolen.
Here's the article from orioles.com about the switch hitter doubles record
Sorry it took me so long to find it. My internet decided to be a tool. :
Relavent part where I got the 1936 comment:
The 31-year-old has an outside chance to be the first big league player in more than 70 years to hit 60 doubles. The last player -- Charlie Gehringer in 1936 -- also set the all-time record (60) for second baseman, giving Roberts another target.

Back to back walks from Smoltz. Rolen & Bruce on.

CRUD! Soooooo close. Sure fire dinger from Nix, just foul. 1 for his last 18 (1 hit was HR).
What's the story w/ Gomes?!?
Watching Nix is kinda painful after watching Bruce make a fantastic AB.
Very impressed with Bruce's approach since returning. Very impressed.
