so in order to catch a disgusting tobacco buzz during class we emptied tea bags and then filled them real dip, then stapled them shut. We had the no mess convenience of a Bandit, but with the punch of a real dip. We called them D-Bagz.

Ready to burst!

"I remember once talking to one guy on the Cardinals and asking him what Pujols was like as a teammate. He said something that’s really special, if you think about it. He said: "Albert is so good that you feel like you let him down when you screw up." I thought that had to be the ultimate line that could ever be said about a ballplayer. I build my baseball team around that ballplayer."

Here's what I think happened.

Upon further review, I can establish that Yadi had eye-black on to start the game.

By his second PA, the eye black is smudged. I was watching MLB.tv (which I can’t get in HD b/c of a slower connection) via my TV, so this smearing may have looked like a bruise. My comment about his black eye was about an hour into the game.

What I’m trying to say is that I was wrong. Sorry ’bout that!
