alto cinco!

You mean 10 penalties in his NFL career *so far*

It appears my understanding was off a bit. Per NBC's College Basketball Talk:

I believe the issue is that the phone call took place during one of the "quiet periods". There are several times during the year when coaches can't talk to prospective recruits (setting aside that Davis doesn't even meet the NCAA's definition of prospective recruits) and a good part of summer is one of those quiet…

They said it didn't come from the ACC, so that rules out South Bend. ND's a full member of the ACC in every sport except football.

One minor quibble here... The distance from the rubber to the back point of the plate in Little League is 46 feet, not 54 feet, so it's just slightly more than 75% of the MLB distance.

Right now, I'm hoping it's a case of "One's an anomaly, two's a coincidence, and three's a trend", but only time will tell with him.

I personally think he's gotten a bad rap. There are tons of articles written about him, but he says very little that's controversial. He fucked up six weeks ago (when he came off the DL) when he strayed from the Crash Davis cliche bible and answered a question honestly, saying he thought Ryan Zimmerman should stay in…

You do know that those "15-20 guys under the age of 25" you'd rather have, assuming they're all in the majors, are all older than Harper, who's still only 21, right?

There was a piece in the Washington Post yesterday about Harper's struggles with injury over the past two years, first the knee last year and the thumb…

No matter how far left you think the Post's editorial board might be, Takoma Park, home of the letter writer in question, is orders of magnitude to the left of the Post.

The Cherry Wheat flavor has changed markedly over the years. I recall enjoying it being lightly flavored, almost like a lambic, back in 1998 or so, but the last couple of times I've had it, it's tasted like Robitussin, and not in a good way.

Jordan must've been great at covering TEs, because he only had two passes defensed all year; I'm picturing a sort of "Jordan Island" kind of thing where he took away the seam or something, and no one threw in his direction.

Jordan had 19 solo tackles, 7 assists, and 2 sacks in 2013. Can't imagine how little he'd have done without PEDs.

He was definitely the youngest guy on Harrisburg's roster during that game.

Matt Williams is intrigued...

"Golf course operators pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in maintenance costs, and their golfers pay upwards of $100 for the right to walk the grounds for a few hours. I will run on their cart paths, drink from their water coolers, and poop in their bathroom."

No way Harper ever opens a beer bottle with his eye.

Harper suffered his injury sliding into third at the end of his hitting a triple. Your overall point about holding batting gloves is valid in general, but would've been impossible in this situation, unless he's removing his gloves as he's running from home to third during the play.

Didn't stop Rickey Henderson...
