A few interesting things I learned via Twitter this week:

The Pittsburgh Pirates committed 7 errors and had 4 hits in a 12 - 2 loss in the MLB this week.  The last time a major league ball team committed this many errors and had 4 or fewer hits was in 1931.  Coincidently, The Boston Braves also lost their game in 1931, 12 - 2.

The iPhone 5 will be announced this week - likely Sept. 12th.
