I have a preference for "Warroyo."

After catching the first 14 innings. In retrospect, Striegel probably regrets that, too - so much that he'll have both out in the field today, I'm sure.

Even the "normal" picture is an attempt to steer public judgment along the lines of Time Magazine's shading of O.J. Simpson's mug shot to make him look more sinister. The point isn't that "Kaepernick wore those clothes, so it's fair game!!1!", but rather that for 95% of graphics, they'll simply pluck the players…

Players gave him wide birth while they tried to encircle Willis. Awkward.

Exactly right. MLB has systems in place for violations for its rules. Gambling brings with it a lifetime ban, no matter how much folks want to argue for Pete Rose. Folks like Gaylord Perry and Rafael Palmeiro each received suspensions for their various misdeeds (which, to preemptively fend off the trolls aren't being…

Saw Irabu take a line drive to the body in a start against the Rangers in 1998. When it became clear that Irabu couldn't continue, the crowd, which had been consistently booing for several innings (he'd blown a 4-0 lead by allowing 6 runs in the 2nd), broke into a big cheer as the "pussy toad" gimped his way off the…

Al Leiter lasting more than 6 batters in that game would've been nice, too.

Team-first, class act Michael Young, that is.

Good thing that a game played in Wisconsin in early February is a lock to be snow-free, then.

How much will Ryan Clark get fined for calling out Goodell for being a corrupt fool? I'm in total agreement that Tomlin blatantly interfered and merits a penalty, but the potential loss of a draft pick - and waiting to see where the Steelers land in the draft order before doing so - is classic making shit up on…

Yes, it's an arbitrary process with only the 10+ year minimum tenure as the starting point. They'll usually include most guys with an All-Star appearance or some non-ROY award (like Snow's Gold Gloves), but there will be random exceptions like Edgardo Alfonzo getting omitted while someone like David Segui is up for…

After having watched him for four frustrating years at St. John's, the fact that Willie Shaw is on the squad makes me give a college team a great shot at defeating this particular Globetrotters club.

the NFL Constitution requires the employment of a commissioner who is "a person of unquestioned integrity"

Wow, brutal +1 to both.

Gibson was definitely in Sports Talk Baseball for Genesis (while with KC), and I believe that he was in both MLBPA Baseball and Triple Play 96 (with Detroit). Those are the games I had, at the very least.

Maybe Dusty should've recognized that the hitting coachdeserved to go, then. Instead, he got lucky that his perpetual "bat the CF 1st, middle IF 2nd no matter what" lineup was saved by Choo's crazy OBP season and not sunk by idiotic bunts. As the next commenter notes, Baker had one of baseball's top pitching staffs at…

What about the error that eventually led to the loss in Game 7 of the World Series?

If Raines doesn't pass the "eye test," then you must not have watched very much baseball in the 1980's.

What about the frigid moonscape of Dallas? Poor Peter King had to be majorly inconvenienced by wearing a coat in February. Some vacation, NFL!

Rocket Frog's dead!
