Any swinging dick that had an old military uniform seemed to dust if off and break it out last night to receive thanks for them personally killed Bin Laden. I saw one guy that looked like Vanderbilt from 'F Troop'. The whole fucking world is a front runner. Funny. As to the Piazza gay rumors - didn't this... and this... Mike Piazza & Wife Welcome a Baby Girl Oakland A's catcher Mike Piazza and his wife, Alicia, welcomed their first child together on Saturday. Nicoletta Veronica Piazza was born in a NYC hospital at 4:07am. She weighed 5 lbs., 8 oz. and measured 19 inches long. ...effectively end those?

BOOOOOO! Burn the hats and Thole after this one.

Brian Wilson looks like a cartoon character. Seriously, what a stupid look. He should be walking around DisneyWorld taking pictures with tourists.

You mean the commemorative 'We-Killed-bin-Laden' hats? Yeah, not a big fan here either.

Amaz-za-zing!

If you had to take a drink every time Thole missed a ball, you wouldn't be able to drive home from the game.

Wow, Thole actually has hands made out of stone!

Not really but it just as easily could have been.

Tied at 6 on un-clutch future Giant Jose Reyes' bloop single that plates Pridie. Or Pirdie, or whatever his name is.

Is that commercial supposed to appeal to a gay demographic...?

The Dennis Hopper - Christopher Walken scene is the BEST thing in that movie (perhaps ALL movies).

Braves personnel having a subpar week.

Because only gay men use bats for sex. Duh.

I know what a .250 batting average is as opposed to .300 and .320, but I have difficulty discerning what a good OBP is for a leadoff hitter, a cleanup hitter, etc. Also - I tend to lose myself in just observing the game as opposed to strategizing along with the manger. I wish it was second nature to me to know when to bunt, when to 'take two and hit to left', etc. The really obvious stuff I get, but it's the more intricate crap that befuddles me sometimes. My 14 year-old plays 2B on a travel team and I get a kick out of hearing him yell out different satrategic positions at the other infielders as the situations warrant. 'Pinch the middle!' is my favorite although I never know when he is going to scream it.

I'm not a fantasy guy but I'll admit I wanted him on the Mets. Glad to be proven wrong.

If the ump knew right away that the call was bad, why not reverse it? He could make a whole show of asking other umps etc. I mean sure it would be embarassing and he'd have to deal with the Nats getting all bent out of shape but if he knew he made a mistake why not correct it?

Let's assume that what the dad says happened is all true. If that's the case not only is McDowell a Class A fucking asshole, but he deserves to lose his job over this. Cursing, threatening and intimidating with a bat in front of this guys kids at a stadium is completely inexcusable. It's horrible and frightening even without the gay stuff. But you add in the gay stuff and it just takes it to another level of disgust. It's bullying, it's ugly, it's so many bad things. I hope they make an example of him.

Well if we're going to talk about coaches tossing us balls - Bill Robinson threw me this one post-game, walking off the field..

Yanks beat the ChiSox 3-1. Cano, 3-run home run in the 1st inning.

Incredible. Goes without saying that I've always been a fan of McDowell's but if even 10% of this is true it's pretty disgusting behavior and I'd be all for him losing his job over it. Granted I haven't heard his side but man.
