Finally, an internship success story!

one player's three-strikeout day as his "induction into the Klan" based on his dubious K-K-K boxscore.

@AiredOutMcNair: I don't have an answer for you, except to say that I've asked myself the exact same questions.

So who do they feed to the lions at halftime?

@Crash Davis: Hey, did you know that Willie Mays was on deck? No foolin!

As awful as it would have been to experience this as a Dodgers fan, this was great to read.

@BuDaMan: Not sure exactly what you're asking, but the NBA put in an age rule of 19 for being drafted. So your typical high school phenom now has to find some way to kill a year before getting his NBA payday. Most have elected to go to college for one year, take a few classes, try to take their team on a March…

@AiredOutMcNair: I know it helped his pocket book. He made like 1.5 million plus got a big endorsement deal from under armor, all while getting to live in Italy.

@AiredOutMcNair: I knew we were kindred spirits! Kickball can be so cruel...

@Crash Davis: By the way, those weren't bladder issues Mathews had. He was doing his best Willie Beamen homage.

No mention of the best part of the interview: Rivers talking about how his 8 year old self would get dressed in full pads and have his parents announce him like a pre-game introduction in the family kitchen.

In what world does Thai food rout Japanese cuisine? Japan has sushi, ramen, tempura, and whatever Morimoto can dream up. Last time I checked there was never an "Iron Chef Thai".

@SynicVance2.0: Alright, I'll bite: why are these "higher principles" worthwhile?

They'd play a football game but none of them has enough Swagger.

I'm in shock: people in the seats at Nationals Park.

@ConnieMortadella: In Clark's case they were just being kind by leaving him out. The less said about his play the better.

When do the Ghanaian lego men fall down on their own and nurse their fake lego injuries for 10 minutes?

@vodkanaut: Oh I'm sure that's a lot of it. Its a very tough thing with a lot of pressure, and you can fuck up just once and get shit on for it. Making 9 out of 10 or even 99 out of 100 calls correctly isn't always good enough, and I doubt even the best refs can be that accurate, especially with no replay. One…

That was a sweet fucking goal.

@Al Swearengen hates cocksuckers: I don't think its quite that simple. All of these guys have worked years in the top leagues and international competitions.
