Passan breaks the news; Ramirez is Drama's boy toy!

I didn't believe it either but here it is. The internets never lie: Ramirez’s benefits no longer outweigh his detriments. He is catnip for drama.

National Pro Fastpitch season is underway, and they're offering free live video streaming of the games. Since the IOC, in their infinitesimal wisdom, has deemed softball less of a sport than, say, Ribbon Dancing, the best of the best play in this league.

Forbes "Sports Expert" misses the mark again.

I just don't understand how the seething, bitter, sometimes deadly Padres-Mariners rivalry didn't make the list.

Must-have artwork for Petco park

Not at all baseball related, but I'm sure the museum would let this one go cheap. Maybe with a giant pooper-scooper, or maybe just to signify the current season. Either way, it works. A giant inflatable dog turd by American artist Paul McCarthy blew away from an exhibition in the garden of a Swiss museum, bringing down a power line and breaking a greenhouse window before it landed again, the museum said Monday.

Rime of Bradley's ACL

Rime of Bradley's ACL

At length did cross an Albatross,

Through the fog it came ;

As if it had been a Christian soul,

Milton Bradley was its name.

It hit the balls we ne’er had hit,

And round and round it flew.

The bats did split with a thunder-fit ;

And Agon steered us through!

And a good south wind sprung up behind ;

The RBI’s did follow,

And every day, the boys did play,

wins came to our hollo !

In mist or cloud, on mast or shroud,

He rallied the Padre nine ;

Whiles all the night, through fog-smoke white,

Glimmered the white Moon-shine.'

`God save thee, ancient Mariner !

From the umpired that plague thee thus!

Why look'st thou so ?'--With my cross-bow

I shot the ALBATROSS.

And I had done an hellish thing,

And it would work 'em woe :

For all averred, I had killed the bird

That made the breeze to blow.

Ah wretch! they say, the bird to slay,

That made the breeze to blow !

Down dropt the breeze, the sails dropt down,

'Twas sad as sad could be

Scarcely again would Hell’s Bells ring

And seldom get to three!

Ah ! well a-day ! what evil looks

Had I from Peavy and Young!

Instead of the cross, the ACL

About my neck was hung.

Look how low this idiot has ranked Peavy/Young. His excuse is that Petco's extreme pitcher's bias hurts our combo. Wake up, stat-heads! Only in fantasy universe where games are played in identical, hermetically sealed domes would this kind of ranking matter. The fact is that the Padres do play in Petco, and home or away, our boys will wax Webb/Haren.
