Wonderful.

I'll try to field the Cabrera-to-cricket question without being an obnoxious Australian ... but with respects to baseball players - who have amazing hand-eye coordination - they'd be terrible at it. Hitting in baseball is staggeringly difficult but it's essentially the same basic motion over and over again (with a…

"I'm just a 14 year old white girl."

I need to add my support to this comment since we're clearly in the minority. The last time I stuck my head into the PED debate I got howled down by 9 million drug cheat-apologists. I don't understand it. I need someone to write a list of all the rules in baseball that are dumb and should be ignored and all the ones…

Or if the players, in solidarity with their Northwestern colleagues, refuse to take the court in the second half.

Well, first of all, I don't think anything exists as a dichotomy. I think we need to be able hold multiple things at one time, and play with those tools in a really nuanced way.

Completely agree with this. It's like the old Bukowski line: 'Intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence.' If Rumsfeld (and Cheney for that matter) are so bright you think they'd be agonizing over a decision like that. But they give zero ground on it. Zero. I'm pretty sure…

I know I sound like a broken record at this point but how can all of these people make such obscene profits off the back of unpaid labor? The galling thing here isn't even that he got a bonus of one week's pay. It's that his existing salary is already $18,000 a week. I just ...

What is this screaming harpee's thesis? That there's a correlation between viewing porn and violent murder? Good God, I'd be serving 50 million consecutive life terms at this point.

These are all good points but to me, people wanting to overturn amateurism aren't obligated to propose a specific system of payment, only that there should be one (or many). The precise details, I think, are for the schools, the conferences and whomever's representing the players to thrash out, not necessarily Johnny…

It's amazing to me that this kind of thing is allowed to go on in America, the epicenter of global capitalism, and where if anybody stands in the way of you making a buck you're an enemy of freedom. Correction: ENEMY OF FREEDOM! This sort of thing should boil the blood of the pro-capitalism/freedom loving crowd…

Can we be friends in real life?

As an Aussie, I've adopted UNM as my team this year (my alma mater's going to be one-and-done). All biases aside, the Lobos are a good team, I think they could go pretty deep this year.

Who are all these Johnny Tryhards putting together these terrible dates? And what are they compensating for? Jesus, just be civilized and meet for a drink after work or a coffee on the weekend.

Blowing a 10-point halftime lead? Boy, St. Louis must have really shit the towel in the second half.

My sarcasm detectors are on the fritz today.

Sherwood is no longer "acting" manager. He was given an 18-month contract in December.
