OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

Anybody else noticed that Matt Bush - No. 1 draft pick in 2004 (!) - is out of prison after three years or so and pitching pretty well for the Rangers?  It would be nice to think he'd got his life on track even if he has pissed away his prime.

Yes.

Yes
I will vow, for the sake of peace, not to complain about David Ross between now and his first start next year- 10/26/2015

Wait...are you just noticing this now?  He was squarely in the middle of the whole Odor/Bautista thing a few weeks ago.

I'm not sure where else to put this.

All those interceptions are a pretty good indication that he'll have no issue hitting the cutoff man.

I followed the link and it says Tim Tebow is "'actively pursuing' a baseball outfielder." That's so cute. Why isn't this a bigger story?

Didn't a guy named Michael Jordan try this with a semi-pro or minor league team?

MLB should come up with a baseball interception just for Tim

Please do not compare the careers of Michael Jordan and Tim Tebow. It hurts my feelings.

Dodgers fans aren't very bright. They boo their own pitcher for stepping off the rubber with a runner on, and they care more about trying to hit a crowd beach ball (and keeping up with the wave) than watching the game. Truly a weird baseball experience.

They have to have something to do before they leave in the top of the 7th to beat the freeway traffic.

Oh, I don't know.  Maybe that's what he gets for wearing the other team's hat.

Nothing would make me happier than to learn the Cubs were one of the reported three teams not to show up to Tim Tebow's workout.

Fun fact: Tebow is two years older than Jason Heyward.

I think I saw on Twitter (Rosenthal?) that the Cubs were one of the three.

Fun fact: people citing his success hitting HS pitching over a decade ago as proof he could be a pro baseball player also ignore his successful collegiate football career not making him a pro quarterback worth a damn.

Confirmed. Cubs and A's are the only smart teams, apparently.
