His reading of Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret will live in infamy.

During today's Nats game, one of the MASN crew said of the Cubs after Adam LaRoche's homerun, "There goes the no-hitter."

I agree Roddick isn't a total bust - but given the hype and expectations, he is a rather big, high-profile bust.

I can't remember who it was on Thursday, on air shortly after he made his announcement - maybe Pam Shriver? - who was sobbing. Sobbing. This is hardly the retirement of one of the greats in American tennis. I've been watching the guy since 2000 - if anything, he's one of the biggest busts the men's game in this…

Sean, I'm feeling lazy, but as a follower of tennis I would be surprised if it could be proven that Roddick's failure to be a force in the majors (particularly in Grand Slams) is attributable to having had to compete in the Federer/Nadal/Djokovic era. Yes, his four Grand Slam finals losses were to Federer - but…

What does Sean's personal preference in sports teams have to do with anything? I'm a lifelong (read: pre-2004) fan of all Boston teams and the only thing offensive to me here is bandwagon jumping douchehammers like you assuming that any Red Sox news that didn't get filtered through the lens of Dan Shaughnessy's…

Ah, a member of the professional protesting class. Too busy for a full time job or occasional shower, all the time in the world to make an ass of oneself at high-profile sporting events.

Ugh, it was Newsweek - a cover story, no less. My apologies for the brain freeze.

Sticking with baseball and wondering how the hell Nationals Park has been overrun with Cards fans, this of all seasons.

Sorry, anytime the word "nutcase" is associated with someone, I don't really have much love for the person. By the way, how did disrupting Webb Simpson's trophy ceremony raise awareness of anything other than the nutcase himself?

1) Well at least we can't accuse you of burying the lede, which is that you don't really know what you're talking about.

I can't wait to hear your rationalizations when the The Secret Race is published.

Did you catch the Bissinger piece in this week's SI? Puke inducing.

This lunatic was also spotted at the British Open, as I recall. Someone needs to find out his story; he seems to have copious amounts of free time and plenty of money to criss-cross the Atlantic just to make an ass of himself.

I just snuck a peek at the current bracket standings in Simmons' "Sequeltology" and for the love of god, people are morons. Last Crusade over goddamn-fucking-kick-ass Aliens to make the Final Four?

I’m a biography junkie, though I can’t explain why LBJ may be the person I’ve read the most biographies of (The Path to Power, Means of Ascent, Master of the Senate, plus Dallek’s Lone Star Rising, Flawed Giantand Portrait of a President, and Doris Kearns Goodwin’s Lyndon Johnson and the American Dream). I found that…

Just finished The Passage of Power (after surviving the first three, couldn't allow myself to be stopped at this point), and haven't found anything newly published to my liking. May just re-read Steve Jobs or something else familiar and reliable.

If you want to knowingly over-drink, then you suffer the consequences.

I don't think one can just say that Roddick's less-than-stellar career was strictly the result of bad timing in terms of competition; he always suffered from an uneven game, schizophrenic coaching changes, and most egregiously, a narcissistic reliance on hitting aces verses developing a complete strategy for answering…

Do you see any differentiation in the type of sport likely to have more visibly intoxicated spectators?
