has a new protege.

Welcome! I'm curious why you have Burke over Jackson. That's not something I've seen a whole lot of.

I would have found it even more hilarious if the Derrek Lee and the rest of the Cubs did that on a game-winning HR.

If we're going just by performance, I'll agree with Coleman and Burke. Coleman's been a work horse this season down in Tennessee and has done an excellent job in their rotation. Burke's .303/.405/.505 line speaks for itself.

A fast, athletic, left-handed guy who plays good defense? I wonder if Felix Pie is available.

Woohoo, another mediocre Badgers team. Can't wait for them to play even more annoyingly close games in their cupcake schedule, then look like crap against the dregs of the Big Ten.

He went to a private, Catholic high school, so... Speaking as someone who went to Catholic school, there's a noticeable number of non-Catholics who go to those schools. Sometimes, it's the best place to go for your education, or, in potentially in Fox's case, for the best sports.

They'll love it.... ...if they're 19 year old daterapists! I think you can get an STD simply by walking past that bar.

Low risk move that could pay off. I'm fine with it.

Deadspin has it up for those of you who want to see it. Great sucker punch there, sport.
