It got a little silly when Trost explained that for a $100 surcharge, fans in the lower deck could rent a horse and a lance.

@Chuck Knoblockhead: Nope, his girl is just a big fan of "The Sound of Music".

Maverick fans got into shouting matches with Kenyon Martin's mom...and Martin's girlfriend, Trina.

@Torgo's Executive Powder: +2

@Michael Dukakis the angry Mets fan.: This Vasgersian guy looks just like Peyton Manning.

On other, more egotistical broadcasters: "My father didn't work in the business. Nothing was handed to me."

Yeah, but would you get the scenery of the Bronx's tenements hovering beyond the outfield? I think not.

I never like it when baseball has one of those big bonus-baby, CAN'T-MISS draft prospects. It turns the game too much into college basketball or the NFL for my blood, endless obsession on ridiculously young men and all their "tools."

And Now The Smooth Christian Rock Stylings Of Ben Utecht

@Weed Against Speed: I don't know why, but that still makes me laugh every time.

@Father of 2 Future First Rounders: They named his brother "Sub" - the meaning of which is up for everyone's interpretation.

I've sensed a theme too:

@X-tacle: @JohnnyDakotaStateU: The fact that both of you thought of that is both funny and very strange.

I'm not sure that Game Six of an important series is the appropriate time to break out your much-rehearsed Bobby Orr impression.

@TracyHamandEggs: Thank you very much for the insight.

@Business_Socks: Or they bring a fuckload of cash and give it to a bumbling, idiotic criminal with a cheerful "How do you do?"

@RonArtestTableLeg: You lost me at "Olympic".

@TracyHamandEggs: Thanks - good call. I definitely stay on top of the waiver wire more than anyone else in my league, but I want to be sure to snatch Wieters up ASAP since he could be great. I can't afford to miss him, especially once Pierzynski comes back to reality.

@RonArtestTableLeg: Thanks - but Hanson is already snatched up (all of my leaguemates are huge Braves fans) and Medlan isn't available yet.

@inscrutable chinaman: My catcher is Pierzynski, who's been surprisingly good this year. So I'm wondering if it's worth getting an insurance policy since, realistically, I would probably never play LaPorta (I have a loaded OF and Carlos Pena at 1B) unless he had a Ryan Howard-esque second half of a rookie season.
