What did you think? Worth the download?

Was a rather interesting piece. A whole lot of scumminess (not a word, but you get my drift) on both sides.

So, the Chicago Cubs now have a mascot..........................

Ummm that's creepy.

My favorite part was them saying that Horowitz was biased because he's a huge baseball fan.

Da fuq?

No pants?

That baseball bat kind of looks like an XL dildo.

That cub looks like he's about to cry.

That cub looks like he's about to cry.

Considering the Cubs history, don't think I could blame him.

 

[mossy]

It's racist against bears.

Sadly, this is just a reminder for Cubs fans that the Cubs sucked even when people—and, apparently, pantsless bears—were rocking backwards caps.

I'm just glad we have an expert on the boards.

It's called pants-free. There was a time when this board used to respect such concepts.

Don't know which cable yakfest I was watching, but a couple of civil rights attorneys--including a guy from the ACLU--agreed that Rodriguez doesn't have a leg to stand on.

What good is a CBA if MLB can violate it whenever it is convenient? The CBA and JDA state the penalties for PED use, but MLB ignored those guidelines to make an example out of ARod. He should be punished, but only within the limits already in place.

I think Selig has mentioned that these suspensions were given due to detrimental conduct and not the drug testing.

The other guys involved in Biogenesis accepted suspensions and did not contest them. A-Rod whom apparently is the biggest offender in this case got the biggest suspension. Other guys who got suspended accepted them and the MLBPA did not fight, so I don't see why they'd stand by A-Rod in this as well.

I think A-Rod is lucky he isn't getting the banhammer from Selig. Commissioner whether Selig or his successor have the right to do it, and if they have enough evidence to suspend A-Rod I'd imagine they have enough to ban him but I don't think Selig wants to go that route unless A-Rod really really really go's there.

The Phillies signed Bobby Abreu.
Amaro is the worst GM in the game.
