... well, that’s what happens when there’s never been a single person in your life that tells you you’re an idiot.

And again... no one thought Hanley gave a shit twelve months ago. If you’ve got to eat the whole contract (more or less) to let Panda go, why not give him a chance to prove himself? Especially since they don’t really have anyone else that’s ready to play the position (depending on how you feel about Shaw…

... the only thing I’ll say, is that people were saying the exact same thing about Hanley twelve months ago.

Yeah, he’s off the 40-man. Pretty sure his numbers were a little better late in the season, but there’s really no room for him other than as a fifth outfielder next season, too. Guy just hits EVERYTHING into the ground. I still think there’s a chance he can contribute somewhere (he’s fast, he’s a good defender,…

Sandy Fucking Leon. All of these other guys were either terrific prospects, or had a history of being exceptional major league hitters. And that’s not to say that Chili doesn’t deserve credit... but Sandy Fucking Leon was sub-Mendoza last year. And while he’s *not* as good of a hitter as he’s looked so far this…

I mean, as tragic as these instances are... anything they do is almost certainly going to have minimal impact. These tragedies are generally the result of an over-exhausted parent (that’s out of the usual drop-off routine); when you’re THAT tired, you’re probably going to ignore any additional lights or beeps.

... no, he seems exactly right to lead a fucking police union.

Running’s not as cheap a sport as you think it’s going to be, either, when you first get started. Even if you’re only putting on 25 or 30 miles, you’re probably going through three or four sets of running shoes a year (I can feel the cushioning on mine giving out, and starting to hurt my knees/hip, around 300-350…

Well... I mean, the whole point of a $6,000 bike (or a $1,600) is that the whole thing weighs like two pounds. The kickstand probably increased the weight by 50%.

That’s too bad. AJ Pierzynski’s going to be looking for a job soon.

The best of the Amazon reviews: “Much better than the sequel book, “How To Run Over Little Boats.”

Well, that’s still going to hurt you, unless they have a claim to 100% of the home’s appreciation.

Kid’s lucky he didn’t get his clocked cleaned. Didn’t I see Teddy Bruschi just about kill a guy once?

“You learned that from reading an article about the Cleveland Browns? Uh.... I think I left my toaster on, I’ve got to leave.”

Just an old-fashioned shit stain running down the leg would be more appropriate.

Yes. Because if you’re trying to make a statement, it’s best to do it when no one’s watching. Fucking brilliant.

... how can this response not be “DON’T YOU BLASPHEME IN HERE!”?...

I can’t think of too many Red Sox players that I *hated* having to root for more than this asshole. Carl Everett, maybe? At least he left us with “Curly Haired Boyfriend.” Didn’t hate Schilling until he was gone. Shea Hillenbrand?

Bullshit; HIPPA.

... what the fuck do I care what Chandler Bing thinks?
