Strickland is a goon.

She’s not OJ’s daughter.

Mark Buehrle threw a perfect game and a no hitter. He threw more than 200 IP in 14 straight years, missing the 15th by 5 outs. Doing it two or three years in a row gets you noticed.

How insufferable is Don Mattingly? Pretty fucking insufferable. Marlins beat writer, Tim Healey, take it away!
