Sounds like the collective National League needs to trade for some of those Yankees' relievers.

Born in '70...and grew up in Connecticut. Typical stock answers: Miracle on Ice, John Lennon being assassinated..But the one thing that drew me to the writing of Stephen King? The one thing that made me realize there was something larger at play, that to my then 10+ year old mind rendered us essenti...

Yunel Escobar of the Angels was ejected today by the home plate umpire for arguing balls and strikes. This happened while he was playing SS at the time. Add that to the run the O's scored yesterday because a pitcher dropped the ball while in his delivery. Weird days at the Yards. Whatever, 1st at t...

You have to take the fight to the NRA and destroy them from the inside. That's where it starts. If there's a way to tie contributions made by them to an unethical, federal level scandal, excellent. That organization has to have some disgusting underbelly of illegal activity somewhere. It's just too...

AB: hardwired is a ton better if it can be done. As a possible compromise to maybe get to a 2nd level of the house or through a bunch of walls, you can get this: https://www.amazon.com/Powerline-Computer-Network-Adapters/b?ie=UTF8&node=1194444 Something can only go as fast as the slowest link. ...

And I find it quite bi-polar that Obama can be the most droningest president in history yet be so afraid of political correctness that his administration can let shit like this happen. Especially in a time when the NSA runs roughshod on our right to privacy. What can Obama do? Seriously....anything...

Is that what happened with war back in Vietnam? (I'm honestly too young to know.) Did it work? I like your idea a lot. We have a lot of violence and disgusting instances that are abundant in our entertainment daily. But when there's a high speed chase and the police get the perp the camera zooms ou...

It's my opinion that we need brutally realistic reporting of tragedies like these. I'm talking video of the dead and dying. People screaming. Cell phones going off on the deceased's bodies. Make America deal with this. Mollifying crap that CNN does with live video from a camera in a helicopter in a ...

Real real short answer. ~Clinton is doing this as a campaign event for his wife. ~Clinton represents the establishment. Ali fought the established order, which is the main reason he is so beloved. ~Clinton dodged the draft with zero negative personal ramifications. Ali resisted the draft in an hone...

The cicadas emerged a week ago. Now, they're so loud it sounds like there are 20 police cars with their sirens on. For the hell of it, I bought an app for my phone to measure decibel readings. I measured the sound in three spots: A storage closet along an interior wall where there's almost no sound...

Biggest Sports Icon of all time? only one who may be as notorious then him is The Babe? Michael Jordan is in the running. I've heard this a few times this past weekend. No , he isn't. I can't remember the instance that caused him to say it, but Kareem Abdul Jabbar once quipped (paraphrased), "...

I don't really buy the correlation between paying women soccer players the same as the men and growing the sport in the US. Some young boy deciding between football, basketball and soccer is going to choose soccer because Hope Solo is paid the same as Tim Howard? (But only the national team, to be ...

I had a long thing typed up about USSF, WUSA, MLS and WMLS... But it sounds too "get off my lawn" so I spiked it. Suffice it to say, there is a long history here. The women have consistently miscalculated or misconstrued their overall popularity. And when I hear shit like "the men ar...

Syracuse missing a boatload of the front-end of 1-1s sank whatever small chance they had. Those are just turnovers, period.

It seemed to me that once it was apparent that Villanova was having their way with OK in the second half, Kruger needed to send in a couple guys from his bench to dispatch some hard fouls. He needed to up the level of physical play. Yes, Nova was going to win in blowout fashion anyway, but at least ...

Yup. You get to St. Patrick's Day / Tournament Thursday and think "YES ITS GOING TO BE NICE AGAIN!" and then there's 3 weeks of grayness and rain. Yankees may have announced early in part because of all the backlash from this weekend's notice that fans should show up at 11:00 for a 1:00 g...

Why is the market for women's professional soccer USSF issue as it comes to National team pay? I think it matters for a few reasons. I think that paying the women more makes sense because if they can't make real money playing soccer, future female athletes will be less likely to want to play soccer...

When I was 12 years old, I was playing all star level CF for my little league team, but boy was I striking out with the ladies.

When Greg Lake was 12 years old, he was writing "Lucky Man".

Oy vey.

I've seen that commercial, streaming on Hulu. Frasier? The Muppets? I have no idea. Personally I think there will be two things that the NFL will not be able to recover from, and it'll take a star 'white' QB to succumb to CTE in the next several years. When that happens, more and more mothers are go...

I've tried for years to give a crap about a team in the Premier League, but alas I can't love the laundry across the pond.

Until Bournemouth got promoted for the first time in 117 years.

They beat Chelsea today, too.

Lovable losers won today, those Cherries.

This is the only other way I know how to answer this since SanCarlos beat me to the post

burn! look, jumping to conclusions on something like this about motives is absolutely stupid right now with the level of information involved. that's the point. it's not as stupid as wanting to immediately ban immigrants, but with the limited info out there right now some common sense (and a quick ...

Price to Boston. 7 years, $217M. Baseball economics and salaries have gone so far past my ability to understand them... $217,000,000.00 is so, so much money. If a guy made $70,000 per year, it would take him 3,100 years to accumulate that much. Well it does have a 3 year opt-out. Still crazy crazy ...
