Note to self: no free stuff for Siouxman at the 2015 Hoggsbreath brunch...

What happens to your Fantasy Baseball numbers when he gets slapped with a 50 game suspension?

Anytime I can help!

Could not agree more, Siouxman. It's ridiculous.

I know he's been around...Vancouver, Pittsburgh, and now Minnesota...I thought my memory was going...for the third time this year. Now about that Dynamo game...

President Kelley is holding on line one for you...

And yet folks fawn all over the 15 minutes it takes to play the last 60 seconds of regulation in NCAA or NBA basketball games... A cocky bat toss on a shallow fly-out to right field? Bush league.

Found it: http://m.mlb.com/vid...c-fly/?c_id=mlb It was even pointed out on SportsCenter...then he tries to play it off by watching the slide home...and giving the "low-five" to the runner who scored.

Had Gomez actually started running when he hit the ball, he would have had a home run easily. I guess next time Gerrit Cole strikes out Gomez, he should do a cartwheel, point to the sky, signal a punch-out like an umpire, and jog in and high-five the catcher. Curious what Carlos' reaction would be at witnessing that. ...too bad I can't find a link for Gomez's line-out to RF from last week where he again thought he had smoked the ball for a home run...only to see it wind up being a 230 foot sacrifice fly.

I don't recall Cooke ever playing for Colorado...did I fall asleep somewhere and miss an NHL season along the way?

It's Minnesota. Nothing makes sense here.

My cousins grew up in Longview WA and since I didn't have a local team to root for, I adopted the Sonics as my own. 1979..."Downtown" Freddie Brown...Gus Williams...Lonnie Shelton...Dennis Johnson...Jack Sikma...loved, Loved, LOVED that team. Watched the final Sonics game ever and almost teared up hearing the fans chant "SAVE OUR SONICS!" near the end of the game. I still cringe every time I see Oklahoma City take the court. Shame on you, David Stern. I would love to see the NBA get a team back in Seattle - as long as its called the Sonics. Hell, put an NHL team in Seattle and call them the Sonics too.

To 'da Bears, no less. Ouch.

Outside of Kentucky making it to the title game, this tournament was indeed fun to watch.

Fixed your post, Blackheart.

Yep. Pretty amazing.

I watched that game last night...Columbus completely in control of the game until that stretch. Unfortunate.

So Barrie is to blame for trying to dive out of the way of Cooke lunging at him, knee extended, in order to make sure he makes contact with him? 2:00 penalty on Barrie for delay of game embellishment, while we're at it?

You (not you, farce poobah) are either a Matt Cooke homer or blind if you can't see him stick his left knee out in an effort to clip the opposing player.

Columbus should be kicking itself good for blowing their game with Pittsburgh tonight...

Wow.

3:30? Good heavens! Halftime? I bet the Wild don't make it to the 7th inning stretch before they're gassed. Unless someone fouls out or picks up a red card first.

...so much for the 'new and improved' Matt Cooke...he just can't kick the habit, can he?

...and Carlos Gomez just doesn't get it... http://mlb.si.com/20...rawl/?eref=sihp This only a couple of games after he does a cocky bat toss thinking he's hit a home run...only he lined out to right field.

And I had my sights set on the NBA as a kid and believed I would get there too. I worked hard and believed in myself. But the only college court I saw was Hyslop - for intramurals. Alas, the NBA never found me.
