If you give it, will they come? Rays to hand out 20,000 free tickets: In response to the bad press created by Monday night's comments from David Price and Evan Longoria, the Tampa Bay Rays just announced that they'll be giving away 20,000 tickets — free, gratis, no charge — to Wednesday night's game against the Orioles at Tropicana Field.

The San Francisco Giants have now removed prominent tributes in the stadium to Barry Bonds: The left-field wall no longer bears an image of Bonds chasing Hank Aaron for the home run crown, nor elsewhere is the number of Bonds' home runs in relation to Aaron posted. There are no "756" signs -- signifying the home run he hit to break Aaron's record -- anywhere in the park, in fact. A team spokeswoman said the Giants would put up a plaque to note where he had hit his last homer with the team.

These replacement refs aren't clowns.
I have to respectfully disagree.
I am a pilot but not checked out in an F-16. Should I try to fly one because someone asked me to replace someone that refuses to fly?

So once touchdown ref overruled interception ref, that was the whole ballgame.
Actually once the clown with the white hat didn't huddle up with the clowns with the black hats and make his judgement call one second after the play ended, that was the whole ballgame.

Manning to agent: I want to play in Denver.
Agent: Yes sir, Mr. Manning. Denver will have parades, erect statues and sing songs about you around campfires.
Tebow to agent: I want to play in Florida
Agent: Shut the f**k up, you circus freak. You're going where we send you.

If I had a choice between $2.5 mil + pitching in pinstripes, and killing my wife and kids, I'd have to flip a coin.

Like my dad always used to say, "Son, the only thing worse than a racist is a Peurto Rican".

As Pap got two outs, then two strikes, I literally covered my eyes because I knew what was coming next. Their body of work for September told me it would. And it did.

I say we expand NCAA football to 162 game seasons and get rid of every other sport on earth. And I'm not leaving your lawn. There's a keg here and a port-a-potty.

I find every loss noteworthy since I heard Van Gundy predict they would win 73 games. Doesn't look good, Jeff.

Spoke in clipped sentences and looked serious a lot.
Fuck me that's funny.

Was growing up in Michigan during the "Roar of 84". He became one of my heroes then. For anyone who hasn't read "Bless you Boys", it gives great insight into his genius of just letting his kids play, as he puts it. Can't stand the thought of losing him like this.

Did you see him in the prom jacket and bow tie before the game?
WTF? Is that a prom jacket and bow tie? Think classy, you'll be classy. If you win 20 in the show, you can wear any Dennis Rodman outfit you want and the press'll think you're colorful. Until you win 20 in the show, however, it means you are a tool.

I just love watching Lincecum pitch.
That's got to be the ugliest man boy in baseball.

Seattle Wins on What-the-Hell Mary
You should totally do this.
Yeah, bad analogy. I totally would.
