Deadspin
With all the mess of this steroid Congress business (hopefully) behind us, perhaps we look to the land of happy: Pitchers and catchers reported today!
Well, for a few teams anyway, including the Cubs, Orioles, Phillies, Mariners and Giants, they showed up. We're sure every single person there desperately flushed their HGH stash right before reporting — why WOULDN'T we think that? You have left us no choice! — but that's fine: It's still pretty, with sunshine, and people playing catch. Welcome back. You can't get here fast enough.

Most of the Giants flushed their Geritol instead of their HGH by accident.
I hope I can make it out to Palm Spark this spring.
OMG OMG eeeeeeeeeeee!
Baseball just makes me so very, very incredibly happy.
Sully would be a sponsor of this park, now wouldn't he?
I'd like to know who this King Sod is. I mean, the list of applicants for this title must be miles long. Printed in 4 point type. With single line spacing.
Spring training makes me happy.
The Braves report tomorrow.
Expect the inevitable Hampton injury story tomorrow.
Also:
PITCHER CATCHERADO! PITCHER CATCHERADO!
Johan is coming to Port St Lucie, the most boring town on the planet! Woohoo!!
And I actually mean that!
The only things behind us are the needles in Clemens' behind.

Did somebody pee in Mike Patrick's eye?
I heard most of the Orioles showed up with garbage bags on their heads.
what is wrong with mike patrick's eye?
And in his mouth apparently
@MDT: Not that I am aware of, but Moises has been peeing on his hands for over a month now.
Alright, we get it. New England lost big time.
So how about those Red Sawx? Didn't they do something last year?
That was so last year.
pitchers and catchers reported today...
brady quinn was spotted outside the park hurling insults
Patrick and Vitale doing a Duke home game. The nausea has already set in.
Oh, baseball, I've missed you so much! Let's never fight again!
@ltwinslow: +1. You make one comment in weeks and earn a +1 right out of the gate.
@Matt_T: he's have some lubrication problems with his vagina
@UkraineNotWeak: I imagine it's hard to understand them, what with Coach K's dick in Patrick's mouth and his nuts in Vitale's.
@UkraineNotWeak:
tracy dale is there. the excitement has set in. in my pants.
Not to be picky, but I just have a major annoyance.
When is The Deadspin going to ditch the cold football lines astrotealturf header for some soothing natural green grass infield dirt chalked base lines Minor League Complex grenade dust Spring Training header?
@Jerkwheat:
And directly from Raycom..the Arkansas prep is outlined.

This is how tWWL leader fucks with you. They put the Notre Dame/UCONN matchup on ESPNU where most people can't watch it and give you an unwatchable St John's/Cinn game on the Deuce. It is their way of making you contact your cable company to force them to add ESPNU to the basic package.
Fuck you ESPN and Disney!!!
@lisa: this should be a great game tonight. My boys have the talent to win the SEC, but have a terrible lack of consistency. They seem to have turned a corner after embarassing themselves against Georgia, though. HOWEVAH, we haven't been a good road team since Nolan was the coach.
So I actually dragged my ass to the doctor today, and I was found to have sinusitis, bronchitis and infections in two ears.
When I make money, someday, and want to invest it, someone please remind me how goddamn much I hate these ETrade commercials. Thanks guys.
@Lizabelle:
But, did you get good meds? I mean you did explain to him how painful this combo is and you might need some pain "relievers" by prescription.
@Jerkwheat:
It should be...but look at yesterdays Vandy/Kentucky. Not a good game, unless you are a Vandy fan!
This isn't news. I need to know if Brian McNamee stuck a needle in Roger Clemens' butt 9 years ago. Anyone know where I can hear about that kind of stuff? I don't think it's covered much by media outlets...
@WayneFontesFanatic:
I totally recommend you find the Congressional Record. That's where they put the info to die.
@Lizabelle:
That's why you should never go to the doctor.
@lisa:
Know you're kidding, but couldn't resist. Plus, it's a best seller among....well no one. Or maybe just the Christian coalition.
Just throwing this out there, if any one wants to join a secret society, [sploid.com] But it appears to be broken.
Maybe someone can fix it so we can go for a joyride?
@Lizabelle:
sorry to hear that kiddo. Did they at least give you medical marijuana?
Question to all: How can Dickie V say that Bob Knight was a paragon of integrity at IU? I know that he didn't violate NCAA rules, but he was caught hitting and choking players. Isn't that something?
@lisa: if this game winds up a 40 point blow out, then I'm likely going to be sending a team of waste disposal professionals to speak with Gary Ervin
the lesson being that Gary Ervin generally sucks and I irrationally blame him for all Arkansas losses

Gus Johnson calling Celtics/Knicks on MSG!

@Jerkwheat:
I just hope Lofton is "on" tonight...I'll be watching it (if I find the station) and check in at halftime. Got to eat now..so I'll have the energy to stay up so late.
OMG DONT FIRE ME!!!
@Slothrop: who?
@Lizabelle: so, do you have any illnesses then? dont hold us all in suspense....
anyone else ever watched this Showtime show The Tudors? I've become quite hooked on it via on demand and I want to know if my desire to see Anne Boleyn naked is coming true soon...
Isn't October 11 national coming out day?
UConn/ND neck-in-neck, 2 mins left in the 1st on ESPNU if anyone needs pre-Idol/BB entertainment
King Sod is an A-hole.
@notthequarterback:
stacy dales. I'm retarded. Never forget this.
You know, I still haven't quite come to terms with adding suites to Michigan Stadium, but it admittedly will be nice to have some more bathrooms in the place (there are comically few for the capacity of the stadium), and it will finally harness the sound of the fans instead of it escaping so easily. And their renderings do look pretty good.

@Lizabelle: Anything not infected?
@Jerkwheat: 40 point blowout... like some other former SEC-power house?
@Lizabelle: Or what I like to call a Wednesday.
The codeine cough syrup is good stuff however.
@notthequarterback: Hahaha
@Slothrop: Nothing for pain. Just antibiotics and FloNase
@GorgeForeman: Hahaha
@lisa: I wish.
@JB*: I have the utmost faith that our programs will be forces again soon
@Jerkwheat: I'd love for a return to days where it was fun to mock Scotty Thurman.
Did you lose your tenure, Jerkwheat?
@Slothrop: not at all; you have fine taste. just was wondering if i'd missed out on some other sideline babe.
@Yinka Double Dare: we still have to get our students to quit jingling keys and our alumni to remove the poles up their asses.
btw, anybody care to explain to me why i took the nets +10 at toronto in their first game without jason kidd? that would be swell, because i sure dont know why i did.
@JB*: and yet, we have your former giant ginger kid from those glory days as our head coach now
@MDT: I think I'm gonna have to reapply at the community college and the church - folks seem unhappy with the switch back to Jerkwheat Original Recipe
Holy crap... Lamb Chop is still being aired.
and now I will have stuck in my head for days...
This is the song that never ends,
It just goes on and on my friends
Some people started singing it, not knowing what it was,
And they'll continue singing it forever just because...
You're welcome, everyone.
@JB*: Isn't Shari Lewis dead.
Like, long dead?
@JB*: more 40 point losses upon your house
@Hank Scorpio: Ten years, per Wikipedia. But one of the kids channels is running it, apparently. Watching it with ToddlerJB* now
@JB*: Spider Pig...Spider Pig...doing whatever a Spider Pig Does,
