BP's oil leak is still polluting the Gulf, Sex and the City is still making money, and Ke$ha (or Kesh@ or whatever she's calling herself this week) is still alive. These things do not give us faith in our Fellow Man. Or Woman. This, however, does: despite an epically bad call -- like, Donner Party bad -- Detroit Tigers pitcher Armando Galarraga has been given a 2010 Chevrolet Corvette convertible for his unofficially perfect game on Wednesday night.
