Good Morning

I favor a college football playoff plan…but not the Feds getting involved. You think the BCS is bad, wait until Washington starts assigning playoff spots like the obnoxious lady calling out names at the DMV… “Boise State…Boise State…Do you have your paper work? I’m sorry but I cannot assign you a playoff spot until you fill out the ethnicity form for each of your players. You can do it right over there…Fresno State…Fresno State…”  

Yesterday Jim Rome went at Alex Rodriguez not for steroids, but for allegedly rolling over and giving names of other players doing them.

Rome’s argument, one that every kid in America needed to hear, was its okay to do anything and everything, but don’t be a squealer. What a Munson. 

“If A-Rod squealed then he violated the code,” the little man said.

While I wouldn’t go out of my way to rat someone out for taking an extra towel, I would definitely play ratta and expose anyone threatening my family, my team, or my career. Someone doing roids, which could lead to suspension, would hurt my team, and would therefore hurt my career, and my family. If my boss or a judge in a robe asked me…I’m coughing them up. 

If Selena Roberts asks, I say “So long skanky…” 

Tell me was all of baseball hurt because of steroids or just by those that took them?

Yeah, sure, I buy Percy Harvin was “extremely dehydrated” the day mini camp starts with Minnesota… When you make a deal with the Devil, expect him to start calling the shots…

Speaking of which, did you know that D.J. “Please to Meet You Hope You Guess My Name” MacKinnon has his Arroyo Knight baseball team on the verge of the playoffs? Mark Roche’s 1-0 victory over MVL leading Gabrielino is proof Arroyo is hardly finished.

San Marino used three pitchers and 14 hits to defeat Temple City for its seventh win a row…

Gee, Nolan Ryan, who threw fastballs in the mid-90’s until he retired at the age of 46, thinks pitchers who start a game should finish it and that pitch counts are otherwise worthless…What say you Mr. Scanlan? 

When did questions come up about Mark Sanchez’s arm strength? 

Ruling out a Brett Favre comeback with the Vikings would be like Andy Villanueva ruling out a trip to Vegas… “I know I can win this time!”
