I still am not sure what I just read. Or why someone got paid to write it. Was there some sort of "how many people can you offend in one sentence" contest?

Remember that time when Corey Patterson was intentionally walked so they could pitch to Sammy Sosa instead?

Meh, whatever. The Olympics will still be the Olympics and this way the US can actually win a gold medal. The NHL guys can play for their country in the world cup.

Nashville. I don't care who ends st louis' season. I want Calgary the least, I could just see Tchkachuk elbowing somebody important in the head.

My Grandfather, who turned 100 in 2008, really hated Fukudome's "spinning around nonsense".

He might be ok as an analyst. It couldn't make him any less likable, could it? Also, it keeps that picture of Barrett punching him in the face in the public's recent memory. In fact, Fox should make that his profile picture. Or they could have a segment called "punch AJ in the face".

Plenty of great seats available...

It's pretty amazing how much better the Cubs were defensively than every other team they played during the playoffs. One day, the popular thought will return to offense being more valuable than defense and people will be pointing to this Cubs team to make a point about whichever side of that debate that they support.

Wouldn't it be very hot wearing a black t shirt in New Orleans? Or anywhere else where it gets hot and humid for that matter. Unless of course you don't go outside much.

with 5 ml starter quality infielders, there's just not that many ab's to go around. Think about scenarios when LaStella would have played on this team. Not many. How often are you going to sit two of Russell, Bryant, Zobrist and Baez? That's true. However, when would Szczur ever get into the lineup? As a defensive replacement for Schwarber in a game where Jay has been lifted for a PH is about the only scenario I can think of considering the other options available. Can Seal Boy play SS?

Maddon has loved Baez from day 1. I bet Baez is the emergency catcher because there's nothing he can't do defensively.

One of the pleasures of Camden Yards is that someone got the great idea to have a walkway that runs basically over the top of the bull pen. This means that people can yell down at the visiting starting pitcher before the game starts.

I'm pretty sure that was always the plan, he only played major league games because of the WBC, split squad games and for jersey sales. Pros: he can buy his under age teammates beer Cons: he'll probably give them his testimony instead.

Soembody asked him if this Puerto Rico team was the best team he'd ever played on. He basically sort of kind of said that it was. The studio guys were were all "Oh no he didn't" as if that was going to cause some sort of controversy.

I don't see how they pass both the Pens and the Caps. Given the Caps' playoff history, I guess the Jackets would rather take their chances against the Caps than the Pens. Well all three teams have played 68 games, and the Pens and CBJ are just one point behind Washington. I haven't looked to see how their schedules line up, but that #1 Metro team will probably play Toronto, while the 2/3 play each other. At first glance, it looks like the Caps have the easiest schedule in that they play 4 games against teams that are out of the playoffs or don't really have playoff aspirations (Coyotes twice, Florida and Colorado) The BJs have 2 games (Winnipeg and Buffalo) against non playoff teams. The Pens only remaining games against non play are at Devils, vs Islanders and vs Flyers. The Isles will still have playoff aspirations and the Flyers are always motivated against the Pens. Pens and BJs both have to play the Hawks. The Pens have them at home, Columbus away. If it comes down to the last game of the season, Caps are home vs. Florida, Pens are @ Rangers and Columbus is @ Toronto. Conclusion: The schedule favors the Caps. However, Columbus has 2 games remaining against the Caps so that gives them the chance to control their own destiny. A split of those games helps the Pens but they have the toughest schedule of the 3 teams.

They bedazzled him. Who would do that to someone they didn't hate?

I'm Dong i cus!

The Wild have lost 5 straight. The Hawks have been scoring 4 goals a game lately. Contributing to that run we have the following: Nick Schmaltz looking like a top 6 talent. Hartman and Panik scoring more goals. Some guy named Kane being red hot. Must not be very good since they gave him 88. (Sorry, it's a spring training thing.) Johnny Oduya has solidified the defense. He allows TVR to be on the third pair where he belongs.

Why put Zagunis on the 40 man before you have to? You have 4 quality outfielders on the major league team and a Javy Baez that can push 2 more there. The 5th outfielder, Iowa shuttle guy is supposed to be someone who gets no playing time, admittedly more like last year's Kawasaki than Szczur. Unless someone loses a leg again. Zagunis is just a guy, why wait? It's not like he's Ian Happ and the Cubs care about starting his option clock.

Jo dy Jo dy Davis catcher without a beer.* Those lines seem that much more ironic since he's related to a pitcher. *I don't accept the notion that Harry Caray knew the meaning of the word peer or that he'd use it in this iconic song.

On the plus side, next year you'll only have to do one top moment.

Not as good as John Groce losing by 20 to a team that just walked away from a plane crash.

Maybe less fouls at the end of the game?
