The High Heat

Has become? Southern hospitality has always been a lie. It was born unto slavery so all involved could avoid facing the 800 pound evil elephant in the room.

I had never heard of it either, but I've also never seen it happen in the thirty+ years I've been watching baseball. It just not courteous to be in another player's position if you don't have to, especially if a player gets in front of a guy or the other player gets interrupted in any fashion. If somebody runs across the back of the mound, he could trip on the dirt spikes or the rubber and risk his own injury. Each pitcher has their own landing area on the front of the mound, and it would quite rude for another player to foul those up because he didn't want to run behind the mound and between

Kevin Kennedy helps to subdue potential terrorist on airplane.

A-Rod just HAS to have at least one A-Hole moment each season. A's pitcher Dallas Braden:

Honey Ritz for crackers.

BEFORE YOU HIT THE BRAKE!

Including 20-0 today.

Cubs move Big Z to the bullpen.

Joe Morgan returns to the Reds.

Here's a headline that me do a double-take: O's claim lefty Viola off waivers. It wasn't what I thought it was. Thankfully.

That seems to be on par with the history of the MLB drug program. With Volquez having been traded for Josh Hamilton will that trade become known as a "drug deal?"

Where? I wanna see?

Weeeeeeeee!!!!

XM now reports it's Reds RHP Edison Volquez. He has been slapped for a 50 game suspension. Is he even back from his TJ surgery yet?

Someone mention late fees?

MLB Network on XM is reporting another player suspension for PED use will be announced soon by MLB. They don't know the player's name, though. Anyone heard any local rumors?

A thread that takes you to a thread that takes you to a thread that takes you to a link. That was fun. Can we do it again? Pleeease??!!

Ha! I just saw this in The Enforcer in a scene where the mayor is attending a Giants game. I've seen this movie a few times before, but I always figured this was an alternate site for the movie shoot, as they never actually show the ballplayers. It looks terrible in the movie, too.

Well, that ought to replace Take Me Out to the Ballgame. Boston's pitching may be a notch above Philly, but the Phillies' lineup is a world beyond what the Sox have.

In Philly no less.

No-No Ubaldo!

I believe there's only been one game in which the Cubbies haven't made an error. Zambrano has three. That wouldn't be horrible if he were a third baseman.

I'd estimate that Wilco, Dylan & The Beatles (and all things related) take up roughly 80% of my musical collection. Dylan takes the lead, followed by Wilco.

You could just do a google image search. I think you can also search flickr.
