gotcha. so it was a visit to check on the well being of his pitcher who he had just talked to like 30 seconds earlier and instead of checking on the well being of his pitcher they used the time to rake the mound. makes sense.

i don't care why he came out a second time. rule says the pitcher has to come out of the game.

he should've done that on his first mound visit, then. this was in the middle of a 2-0 count AB with two men on.

there was also the time that Dale let Matheny come out for a second trip to the mound without pulling Rosenthal. it's not like the Dodgers were mid-rally or anything. totally acceptable to bend the rules like that.

Right, because the NFL is the only professional sport (even though you linked out to something that happened at a baseball game) and also it seems as if you pretended that this never happened: http://espn.go.com/los-angeles/ml…

I feel like this kind of thing happens waaaaay more in Northern California than it does in LA & Philly combined, but people still talk about Brian Stow like that's a regular occurrence.

Also, hate the 49ers, but to paraphrase the great Vin Scully: "Those aren't [49ers] fans, those are thugs in [49ers] uniforms."

this is pretty much the only thing that could ever get me to watch an A's / Royals game. Maybe Game 6 or 7 of the ALCS? Maybe. But otherwise, this is it.

i have no problem with celebrating for making the playoffs, i'm just not sure that you can consider the new version of the wild card the "playoffs." Maybe wait until you win that game?

also they are only 1.5 games back from winning their division, so that's in reach, too. does seem premature.

so here's the thing. these journalists weren't paid to talk about the commercial. they may have some questionable editorial standards, but i wouldn't call them "whores" for talking about this ad.

cool victim blaming, dude.

Totally get that, but this, like the whole nude celeb leak thing, is only made worse but the continual public conversations about it.

all that on top of the fact that he's already won two Cy Young awards, and got ripped off the year Dickey won... oh yeah, and he's only 26.

she is a victim and she is being forced to relive something pretty horrible at a massive public scale. i can understand why she'd be upset.

you were once a legend, one of the best of all time, but you'll always be remembered for injecting a bunch of poison into yourself.

to be honest, I think having Yasiel Puig on my favorite team helped changed my mind a lot. I saw a guy who is over the top and knows nothing of those unwritten rules, but is still relatively harmless, and amazing with fans.

I am the rarity. A huge baseball fan at only 31.

Sure, it's slow, but I don't mind. I live in NYC. The internet exists. Everything moves a mile a minute. Slow is fine.

I like Keith Olbermann...usually. He dated a girl that I went to junior high school with, which would be fine, but I'm only 32, and this was about 6 years ago. Just find shit like that creepy.

Gonna be tough to see Joc Pedersen in Miami next year, but will be totally worth it to see Stanton in Dodger Blue.

move back to the second biggest media market, which is now a much more "evolved" city in terms of native residents and sports fandom than it was when it left and also happens to have a ton of fans already there
