Pitcher Pedro Martinez was hit in the forehead by a baseball thrown from the banks of the Charles. Already ruled out as suspects: the entire St. Louis starting rotation, for obvious reasons.

No, none of them have the accuracy to hit a bull elephant in the head, much less Pedro Martinez.

Observed running from the scene: Alex Rodriguez and Nomar Garciaparra.

"When legions of Sox fans go to the polls on Tuesday, they'll remember that if George Bush had his way the Red Sox wouldn't have ever won the World Series,'' Wade said in a statement. (AP via Yahoo!)
I love US politics.

Is it stupid that I also immediately thought this would figure into offseason negotiations? Ok, back to unbridled World Series winning glee.
