So when my friend asked me if I’d come out for his softball team (no tryout required), I said yes before he had a chance to mention that it was a gay softball team, in Boston’s gay softball league. (Each team is allowed three heterosexual players.)

@grahamillion: Because if he wasn't there to witness his child being assaulted, there's nothing he's allowed to do about it?

@The4thMolinaBrother: I missed the high school portion of the quote, my bad. I think the rule makes sense for the thirteen year olds at issue in this story, though.

@vdiddy210 - Is Now Rolling a Dinan S2 E39 M5. The Concrete Cowers in Fear: How exactly do you know the coach didn't have the pitcher intentionally throw at the kid? Obviously if the coach is innocent of the charges the case should, and will, be dismissed. But neither of us knows precisely what happened.

@ReelMissing: Don't be, that was excellent.

@The4thMolinaBrother: WTF? You don't even have to hit the batter for it to be illegal? What a bunch of pansies.

@MattinglysSideburns: +1

@A Duck With a Lisp: Yes, just ask known Ukranian Jew Harry Connick Jr.

@Cory Cross - Male Model Extraordinaire: At least the kid now gets to experience "The Stranger".

@Thunderclees: I certainly didn't expect Donnie Walsh to deliver on that, since he's the Knicks GM and I'm a Nets fan. (The part about getting Travis Outlaw, Avery Johnson and Billy King was the clue).

So we're taking the side of the coach who had his pitcher intentionally throw at a 13 year old, breaking his hand? Might want to rethink this one, Barry.

It was my last day at college for the semester, and I was leaving the state the following day to go back to my annual summer amusement park job.

@Cheesasaurus: Billy King's track record does not inspire confidence.

@Steve U: Excellent.

@FavreFAIL: My team promised me Lebron, Kryzewski, and taking over the NY market. Instead we got Travis Outlaw, Avery Johnson and Billy King. I win.

@Phintastic: Counterpoint: Bill Simmons is not . . . oh, who am I kidding. He's a cocksucker.

@norbizness: Even then, they might have won a championship if they had someone other than a UPenn's own Matt Maloney playing point.

Meanwhile, John Hollinger is frantically trying to coin a nickname for the LeBron-Wade-Bosh Heat.

Seeing Deadspin and Mgoblog play nice makes me feel like a child of divorce, on a day when Mommy and Daddy seem to be getting along. Maybe everything will change now!

@I Like Cheap Beer: I want to drop an entire semi-trailer on your head for that comment.
