Maple Bats: One of Baseball's Most Dangerous Weapons: About two or three times a game. players swinging bats made of maple wood end up with kindling in their hands while the barrel – blunt and thick on one end, splintered and sharp on the other – flies every which direction. "Someone's going to die at a baseball stadium soon," writes Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports. "Might be a player. Could be an umpire. Possibly even a fan. It almost was a coach."

The Hoser's NFL Pick 2009, Week 11

I hope to God the Lions win this game. The Rams was bad enough, but the Browns? That would be terrible.

SportsFilter: The Wednesday Huddle

As much as the Browns suck, I'm sure the Lions can find a way to lose this weekend. They lost to the Rams.

CFL Pick 'Em, Final Standings

Wow, after generally having success in the CFL Pick 'Em this season was brutal. Five points is probably close to the most I've scored all season. Congrats to MrFrisby and thanks DJE. This first Constanza was well earned.

Now if only I'd actually win something.

Allen Iverson Leaves Grizzlies

Iverson may still have the talent, but I'm not sure a lot of teams are willing to deal with the baggage he brings with him. The Pistons learned that lesson the hard way last year.

Redesigning the Worst NFL Helmet Graphics

I love the redesign of the Redskins helmet. The Patriots redesign is terrible.

17 Congressmen Vote Against Yankees Resolution

I'm sure Congress deliberated for days upon days on the proper wording of the resolution to congratulate the Yankees at the expense of all other legislation. Oh and it usually takes weeks to gather and count all the votes anyways.

Phillies Force Game 6 with 8-6 Squeaker

I think the Phillies can pull it out. It won't be easy, but they definitely have a chance.

Chiefs' Larry Johnson Flips Out on Twitter

I think you're overestimating the quality of the Chiefs offense. Larry Johnson hasn't done anything worthwhile fantasywise this year, I don't see why Jamaal Charles would be any different.

MLB Post-Season Pick 'Em, World Series Edition

I feel that I should've received more points for nailing the bonus exactly.
