Less mud and Old Bay; more poppyseeds and sport peppers.

What happens to the media and behind closed doors may be very different. This is a players' union solidarity issue. Arrieta just Tweeted a joke earlier today about bro-hugging Bryant and gaining opposite-field pop. It's just Twitter, granted, but that's probably not something you do unless you like the guy. Yeah that was awesome... but Bryant is going to get hazed in some way.

It's not totally Cubs history, but Crazy '08 was awesome. Damnit, I totally was expecting something about 2008 I read a mostly terrible book about the 2008 Cubs. Living the Dream: An Inside Account of the 2008 Cubs Season. I might need to read it again, I read it too soon after the 2008 NLDS. I would probably enjoy it more now. I can't recommend a good Cubs book, but I can recommend a couple other Cubs books not to read: Wrigleyworld: Not a terrible book but also not a good book. It's about a guy that moves to Wrigleyville and chronicles the 2005 season. A not so memorable book for a not so memorable season. Entangled in Ivy: Again, I didn't hate this book, but didn't love it. I know people don't like George Castle at all, but it was a somewhat interesting read at all the problems the Cubs have had building a consistent winner from ~early 1980s to ~2003. As a child I followed the Cubs but didn't know a lot of the behind the scenes stories of those years. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1266118/ Remember that story that some documentary dudes were following the 08 Cubs all year? Did anything ever come of that?

Damnit, I totally was expecting something about 2008 It's far more interesting than a 2008 story could have been, IMO. go talk to OMC. old timey baseball with their weird baggy uniforms and lack of racial diversity bores me. It's not interesting because of the uniforms and skin colors; it's interesting because it's reflective of what the world was like 100+ years ago, which is very, very different.

Best selling throwback jersey in each state

I'm guessing he doesn't sign off on licensing for throwbacks. http://www.mitchellandness.com/jerseys?team=183 None. -
Here's the list of SS since 1920s, sorted by hits through age 24 (Castro's last season encompassed here). 1. Yount 2. A-Rod 3. Vaughan 4. Renteria 5. Castro He has a good chance of reaching 1,000 by the end of the 2015 season. Just 18 players since 1920 have had 1000 hits before turning 26, and only 5 SS (add Hornsby to the above). Castro obviously started at a young age but it's impressive company.

How would that work with Pat and Ron?

Awesome. But you forgot Castro.

Allegedly assaulting a woman. -
Can someone familiar with the criminal justice system explain why prosecutors would be OK with such a short sentence? Does this imply that there was a decent chance that he'd beat the charges?

Decided to watch Enemy of the State today... How did I not realize that Joe Maddon and Gene Hackman are doppelganger?

I wish Pat were working today. This radio team is painful to listen to. -
Qatar is about as safe as it gets from a violence and crime perspective. And it's hot and exotic. As long as you don't count the thousands of slave labor deaths as violent. India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh are never in the World Cup Final, so I don't anticipate many tourists getting mistakenly worked to death.

Qatar is about as safe as it gets from a violence and crime perspective. And it's hot and exotic. I think people will end up going, despite the instability of the region overall. The World Cup would obviously be a terrorist target, but it always is -- I don't think the increased risk is THAT great. ETA: UAE attracts over 10m visitors annually. If they can do it without much, Qatar can draw for a global event. I'd guess that alcohol and sex restrictions would be bigger red flags from potential visitors than instability/terrorism.

Right. They don't dive, but they sure as hell lean forward in an attempt to get more horizontal. Besides, they are trying to break a plane, not make contact with something on the ground.
