We?
Yes, we.  Us baseball fans.  We're experiencing the golden age of the Dodgers.  Some are complaining about it, but we are all witness to it.

But mostly, how bout them Cowboys!!!

And it rolls right into Alabama football and Duke basketball season.  Life is good.  Except Maine hockey is down hard right now

Mariners got their pitcher ejected on purpose so that they could bring in a RHP to face the Tigers best right handed batter, and now he gets as many pitches as he wants. My thought is MLB needs the college basketball rule that if a player gets ejected, the opposing team gets to pick the reliever (FT shooter)

The Chicago Sox are a small-market team. Chicago is dominated by the Cubs. Everyone knows this.

I really wish they had moved down here (Dt. Pete) back in 1988, in hindsight. I happened to be in town, and I still have this. Doesn't fit...

U RAH RAH! WIS CON SIN!

Is this something to do with the three-batter minimum rule?  I don't pay much attention to MLB, but why can't the Mariners bring in another pitcher whenever they feel like it?
