Drug testing programs, especially with a large employee pool, in any venue, are incredibly difficult to administer. The biggest fault I take with MLB's program is with the sanctions - first offense should be one-year, second, lifetime ban from the game.

Might want to check some recent MLB headlines, hoss.

I don't really think Anonymous PR Guy really stated anything that anyone else couldn't have objectively observed themselves. LeBron is a dick? People think Beckett is an asshole? Mind blown!

Yup. I'd say I was surprised that Scrappy McDroia didn't go to the funeral but I imagine he was too busy sobbing on Curly Haired Boy's shoulder.

It's one thing to see your kids' genitals incidentally, quite another to stand there with a camera in your hand rolling while they are exposed, and to keep that footage - regardless of whether the device you are filming with belongs to your or your employer.

Not to be a buzzkill, but if, for some reason, I found myself "innocently" filming children wearing only towels, and the children unexpectedly and inexplicably dropped the towels and touched themselves and/or bent over like that, my first instinct would be to drop the camera phone, turn around, ask the kids to put the…

Basically what I said was that spinning our wheels about abortion was fucking stupid because Roe v Wade is never going to be overturned. Boy, that got the dogs after me.

I'm making a point to not tweet, or re-tweet, anything political for the time being. I follow, and have followers, of all stripes and don't want to incite, or appear to be trying to incite, a shitstorm.

But if the focus of the film is on knuckleballers, why would you have preferred there be less Wakefield the pitcher in favor of more Dickey the guy-off-the-field? I mean, it wasn't an adaptation of Dickey's book...

Oh no. Entourage??? (Then again, I'm sure you read "Sex and the City" and had the same reaction.)

Actually, I liked Scrubs for a while, though I drifted away from watching it by the end. Sounds like Community is a show I should look into, I like quirky.

I've never watched that. Is it really worth looking into?

I'll drink to that.

Alcohol. Lots of it. Straight up, no mixers, beer backs or fruity-tinis.

Rosie - I think I speak for many.

You, dear commenter, are proof of Crash Davis' sage observation that the world is not made for those blessed with self-awareness.
