I've been to two Cubs/Brewers games - one in Milwaukee and one at Wrigley. Those games were so much fun, as many insults get yelled back and forth between the FIB and Cheesehead fans.
How's it sit? Pretty cunning, don'tchya think?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Looks like the Manny Ramirez trade that was all but closed has fallen apart and he'll stay with the Red Sox. It's like a passion play they need to put on every couple years.
The reports now are saying that the trade has gone through.

He's going to the Dodgers, not the Marlins.

In fact, I can't think of any other examples (where the same animal gets dressed up, then eaten).
Does the piglet in tiny boots to protect from the mud count? If it then gets turned into bacon? (Mmm, bacon)

Yeah, I was just coming in to fix my post with the details, but you beat me to it. Manny goes to the Dodgers. Jason Bay goes to the Sox, and the Pirates get Brandon Moss and Craig Hansen from the Sox and Andy LaRoche and Bryan Morris from the Dodgers.

And Griffey, Jr, is now a White Sox.

"a White Sox"
See, I know it's correct, but it grates.

And oh, Indexed is wonderful. I read it regularly and forgot all about it a while ago. Thanks for the reminder!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'm utilizing gut feelings and shallow commentary I've read on occasion.
I think I owe you an apology. I see that you've got the pundit job description down after all.
