5Fortunately, the folks at MLB have taken heroic steps to alleviate this tragic cap shortage before it reaches Irish Potato Famine-like proportions. Behold what they have magnanimously bestowed upon a cap-benighted world: the interview cap.
I Went to the Game: 9/29/12 Edition
via media.10news.com I went to the game, everybody. It was cool. Again, the weather wasn't, but the game itself - extremely my sh*t. I went to the game yesterday, too, but it sucked so...

DUBNER: Tell me some of the pundits who whether by luck or brilliance and hard work turn out to be really, really good. DAVENPORT: Sure.
