Baseball Toaster runs on some experimental software called Fairpole. It's still under development.

Washington pitcher John Patterson, who has been suffering from a nerve injury in his right elbow, is leaving the U.S. for experimental medical treatment.
Patterson is not headed south to seek help from a curandera however. He's going to Canada. Patterson won't say what the treatment is, just that involves a series of injections.
Check for the results in your next copy of the Canadian Journal of Weird Experimental Medicine.

The nut graph from Susan Slusser: "The A's closer, who has missed six weeks with an irritated ulnar nerve, did 1 1/2 hours a day in a hyperbaric chamber for oxygen therapy, a half hour a day of injection (needle) therapy, along with laser therapy and homeopathic treatment. He also received chiropractic and massage treatments and worked out extensively, including track workouts."
The punchline: "The treatments also helped Street overcome his dislike of small enclosed spaces and needles."
I should hope so.
