Seattle sent McLaren packing. Now I can't help but wonder what the odds of them trading Bedard midseason are. Bedard's name keeps popping here in Chicago, alongside C.C., Randy Wolf, and A.J. Burnett. I expect this talk to grow louder once Zambrano announces he's out for the season or some such shi...

Hey-man-hey!

The Orioles just put a pitcher in as a pinch runner? Cubs do this all the time with Jason Marquis. Makes more sense in the NL because then you can reserve your bench for pinch-hitting and double switching and all that. You might ask: well what if he fucks up his leg on a slide or some such freak th...

So thanks for that. Tapatio and Cholula and the like are all nice but I like stuff from the next tier up, you kn...

Not Crap.
