Fukudome doesn't find racist T-shirts in Wrigleyville funny A Fukudome T-shirt with a racist image is the hottest-selling item at a souvenir stand that sells unlicensed Cubs-related merchandise across Addison Street from the ballpark.......... The Cubs front office was flooded with angry emails from fans in response to a Sun-Times story about a controversial T-shirt being sold outside of Wrigley Field. The ballclub does the right thing (update inside) after the uproar, for those of you who feel we've licked the problem of Racism in America, Guess Again!

6 out of 7 here...
I always thought if a runner was hit by the batted ball he was out. Maybe the fact that the first baseman was in postition to make the play, but didn't, changes that. Sort of like the infield fly rule, I guess.

We Tried Baseball and It Didn't Work Excellent example of true geek humor, so of course baseball fans will probably hate this one.

First of all, the requirements for the game are stupid: it does not scale. They say you need at least nine players on a side. That's stupidly inefficient. The minimum number of players is clearly four: three men on and one batting. That's how we played: four people on a side.
Sounds like the late Eddie Feigner...

Tom Brady Wearing Walking Cast The Patriots quarterback was spotted leaving a New York apartment Monday wearing a walking cast on his right foot, as shown in photos and a video on TMZ.Com. Brady's 124 consecutive starts at QB are the third longest streak in NFL history.

I wondered if anyone else noticed Brady on the bench with his head hung down as if something was bothering him. I thought perhaps the three interceptions he had just thrown was the problem.
I noticed that too ... but he was sitting that way even BEFORE the first interception. Also after Gafney's TD he didn't sprint to the endzone to high-5 Jabar but instead merely headed off the field, head-down ... not looking at all healthy. We were thinking he was more than a bit under the weather the entire game.

Ice Bowl is one for the ages The consensus about the Ice Bowl, aka the AMP Energy NHL Winter Classic? It was cool.
posted to Hockey at 10:35 AM CDT
My plan on New Year's Day was to check out the Winter Classic during lulls in football action but, like another poster mentioned, once I tuned in I was hooked ... only turning back to the gridirons (the grass ones that is) between periods or during the various ice cleaning / repair play stoppages. I thought it was great!
Just a quick question, however ... what was up with the uniforms? Buffalo going back to white at home I get ... but Pittsburgh in light blue? I have no clue.
posted at 11:40 AM CDT on January 3
Both the Sabres and Penguins wore their throwback uniforms. The light blue uniforms were from the basic color and design Pittsburgh used when they first came into the league in 1967 or so.
I figured someone here would know.
Thanks, dyams.

Bloody mess: Schilling's sock called into question Gary Thorne, who does play-by-play of Orioles games on the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network (MASN) and has a solid national reputation, having done lots of work for ESPN, brought up the saga of Schilling's bloody sock during last night's telecast.

I also remember watching that game live and wondering two things:
1. If that was real blood, why did it stay bright red for the entire game and not dry up and get that brown-ish color blood turns to after about 10 minutes?
and
2. If it stayed red because it was still oozing and fresh, then why didn't the stain get any bigger?
Maybe now these questions that bothered me so will finally be answered...

Leave It to Buckner This time, it’s no mistake: Twenty years after The Error, the unforgivable first baseman and his unlikely new friend Mookie Wilson are cashing in on Sox fans’ pain.

As far as I can tell, I’m the only writer from Boston in this crowd. The year 1986 is not remembered with much fondness by Red Sox fans,
Really? Is that so???
Then why on earth did the team celebrate the 1986 pennant winners with a big celebration at Fenway - get this - when the Mets were the opponent?!

Barbaro's hopes fade and Salon wonders if the future of horseracing itself is in doubt.

There is more than one way to eliminate the Yankees. It becomes an issue where kids are devastated when they find out they are on the Yankees. Many kids actually pray they will not be on the Yankees when the rosters and teams are announced. Heh...

There was a town much closer to Boston than Lowell (whose name unfortunately escapes me at this moment) that also wanted to ban Yankee Little League Teams a while back - but NOT because kids didn't want to be on it ... but because they DID and people were getting upset at all the Yankee hats and other apparel being worn in school and even - GASP - out on the street!
"dyams" above had it nailed with this observation:
Man, does New England have Yankee paralysis or what? Their every thought with regards to baseball revolves more around the Yankees than it does with the Sox.

Red Sox contact Clemens about 2006 season I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.
posted to Baseball at 9:15 PM CDT
I really hope the Red Sox sign him. ... It's going to be hilarious seeing how Red Sox fans justify his existence.
I think it would be hysterical seeing Sox fans suddnely embrace him once again after going in their minds from "hero" (as a Sox) to "washed-up nobody" (Blue Jays) to "uber-villain" (in pinstripes) to a "non-factor" (as a ~gasp~ National Leaguer) and now he goes back to "hero" ?! Too funny.
Truthfully, I really don't see Roger leaving Texas, but hey, stranger things have happened...

Pete Rose, Jr. pleads guilty to drug trafficking. Rose pled guilty to distributing "steroid alternative" GBL to minor league teammates in the Reds' AA affiliate. Possible penalties include two years in prison and/or $1 million fine.

What kind of a moron tries to push steroid-lites on athletes after all of the scrutiny this year?
I suspect genetics is at fault...

Just a question...
Did Harry Caray say "Holy Cow!" too (That is what the letters on that shirt attempt to spell, right?) ... I always associate that with the Scooter. Must be my East Coast bias. ;-)
