Pardon me for not bubbling over with glee at what seems to be Dustin McGowan’s imminent big league return. I know I probably should be, especially if I’m the Blue Jays. Dustin McGowan has made nearly $3 million over the last four years, logging only 21 innings during that...

They say part of being a professional player means you don’t wish ill on your fellow teammates. I think that’s a load of BS. This game is as much about luck and opportunity as it is good play. Hell, I’d even venture to say it’s more luck and opportunity than good play. Case in...

How To Kill an All-Star. Last year I said Ricky Romero should not have been in the big leagues to finish the year. He should have been sent down to recover from whatever mental issues were ailing him. The process should have started then, in 2012, when time was on his side. If...

Dear unborn child. Today I sat at a bar and watched a lady slowly get obliterated on four dollar Bud Light draughts. Pretty sad. Not that she got obliterated. You’ll probably experience that for yourself at some point, but that she got obliterated on Bud Light. She probably...

Fan Catches a ball in a beer cup. Probably made the beer taste better…. domestic American beer is such swill. Goats head delivered to Tom Ricketts at Wrigley Field. Goat had this to say about it, “I was just happy to help my team any way I could. I have to tip my hat...
