At least Rick Reilly can look back on his glory days. Whereas you, sir, will always suck.

Yes, let's take shots at high school girls who are out there just to compete and enjoy the game. You stay classy, dude.

That's not true if there are two outs.

That wouldn't be a grand slam, and this wasn't a home run. Check your rulebook.

Two words: duct tape.

You're living in the past. Today there are only a handful of pitchers who contribute anything at the plate; most can't even lay down a bunt, nevermind swing and put the ball in play. Honestly, it's ruining the National League for me.

What's with the Rovell obsession? Who cares?

Your endless sniping at sportswriters (as opposed to people who write snarky posts about sports) is really getting tired. Got anything original to say?

Tell me where ANYBODY said anything about banning anything. Go ahead, I'll wait.

Excactly. The Ivies don't call them athletic scholarships, but they do make sure gifted athletes have plenty of financial incentive to attend. To some extent it's a matter of semantics.
