I enjoyed the comment at the end of the article.... http://deadspin.com/#!5793513/what-a-106-mph-fastball-really-looks-like

Silva has been judged a pile of poo by the 29 other teams, been released, and been given the Stone Cold Salute by Mike Quade. A happy ending to this thread.

I'm definitely a Mike Quade fan now. To quote: "I was really disappointed when I heard [silva's comments]. First of all, he's dead f---ing wrong, OK, about my pitching coach. And I have no f---ing time for that." Quade continued to admonish the former Cubs pitcher. "Respect is a two-way street," he said. "I don't want to hear anything about respect. If you ain't giving it, you ain't getting it." Has a little Lee Elia in him.

Meaning no disrespect or anythin but I would love to hear the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem cover this tune. Makes me want to hoist a pint in a dark, woodsy bar and join in in a soggy way...

In my 49 years I can't say that I've seen something like this... http://www.breitbart.tv/?p=124033

"Brain Stew" by Green Day. Just so I can see 40,000 people sing "My eyes feel like they're gonna bleed!"

Mitchell probe to name names. Lots of names. Big names. Ah, the ramifications. Discuss... http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3060689

Ever wonder about Barry's body armor? http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003621797

What's strange about the RISP is we have three of the top twenty in the majors yet rank only 6th a a team. I guess that means if it ain't Lee, Theriot, or Floyd we do stink at driving them in.
