Where's the rest of this story? Seriously though, this was a really interesting read. I just wish it was longer!

I (still) like Tom Cruise, but his being cast as Jack Reacher remains one of the great travesties of modern cinema. Okay, so I exaggerate a little, but the point remains...

Ortiz's salary in 2002 for MIN was $0.95M. His salary in 2003 for BOS was $1.25M.

Yes, because the appropriate reaction to a verbal taunt is always a beating administered by the "victimized" group.

That video was awesome then and it's still awesome now.

You woodn't think so, wood you?

I have driven to both Gillette Stadium (Patriots) and Candlestick Park and... Candlestick is way easier to drive to. And easier to drive out of.

The other thing that just drives me up the fucking wall is the notion that the strike zone is different from umpire to umpire, but also different for the same umpire depending on who is at-bat!

Has anyone here actually owned one and driven it much? I absolutely love the way they look - if the Miura is my #1, the Pantera is my #2 - but everyone I've heard who's known a cousin who's had a girlfriend who knew a guy that drove one once has said, "They are so fucking uncomfortable to sit in you wouldn't even want…

I'm watching BOS @ SEA right now (I'm a Sox fan). Napoli just got called out on a bad call, he argued it, was still out by K. Exchanges words with the umpire and heads back to the dug-out.

I have an idea. Many people will think it's stupid, but.. oh well.

Don Terry sounds like just the kind of asshole Dan Snyder would do business with.

First sentence should read "attempting to enter the U.S." and not "attempting to entire"

I liked Morocco. I thought Casablanca sucked, but everywhere else was nice. Marrakech in particular

I'm a Chevy guy and kinda sorta hate Jeeps.

I'm as big a Nissan fan as anyone — I rallied a RN14 Pulsar GTi-R — but I think the car above is the most convenient to rally, as opposed to the most capable.

As a fellow resident of The Hub of The Universe, I also hate Shaugnessy. In fact I cannot think of a single friend, family member or guy I saw at the gas station who either a) reads his column or b) says something nice about him.

Alex, where abouts are you? I lived in Mali from '03-'06 and spent a lot of time in Guinea, Ghana and Senegal too.

"Suck, squeeze, bang, blow" is the Australian slang version of "Intake, compression, ignition, exhaust".

He asked for a vehicle that would go up in value and bought an F-150 Harley Davidson edition? That's a hell of a god-damn salesman right there!
