You, clearly do not like the Rays. ;p
Controversy in D-town.
Why the hell is that SOB Kieth Olbermann all over TBS? I saw he has a show on ESPN too. Go back to MSNBC, dickwad.
Some sad news in Chi, the second to last living Cub to play in the ‘45 WS, outfielder Andy Pafko, died. 96 year old Lennie Merullo, a “light-hitting infielder”, is that last man standing. I guess he wins the “Hellfish Bonanza” (old Simpson’s reference).
In the improbable scenario that the members of the 1945 Cubs entered into a tontine, I would think that the investment that provided them with an annuity, and whose principal eventually went to the last survivor, would be not a painting, but an old billygoat.
Pafko was a star OF (and later, briefly, 3B) for the Cubs, and was still pretty good in his years with the Dodgers and Braves. Merullo was not so great, but, hey, someone had to play SS during the War years. Good to hear that he’s still going strong at age 96.
Girardi agrees to a new 4 year contract with the NYY. $4 million+ per.
“You, clearly do not like the Rays. ;p”
Actually, I didn’t mind them until a couple years ago. They were a complete joke for years and years and it was good that they improved; I get sick of BOS or NYY every year too.
I’m just beyond sick of hearing about “The Genius” Maddon. Really? Why?
If you want to talk modern day MLB genius managers, Tony La Russa and Jim Leyland - SURE!!! They’re WINNERS!!! Joe “Shoney’s” Maddon? Not so much.
Olbermann: Stick him and Maddon in a room. Then time how long it takes for al of the oxygen to get sucked out. I switch or mute him and wait to hear Pedro.
RIP Andy Pafko. Godspeed, Lennie Merullo.
