    It kills me to see that "Stanley Cup: Quack Quack" in the corner. Not just because SI reduced the championship of a major North American sport to a one-liner, but because they had a chance to put the SI Jinx on Chris Pronger and THEY MISSED IT!

    @The Legend of Vincent Tremblay: You call it a major North American sport, others call it a frosty novelty shown on an obscure cable network that broadcasts uninterrupted footage of men riding bikes in Europe.

    "Everything," said Wilpon. "I just want Omar to be Omar."

    Don't we all, Fred, don't we all.

    "that pesky SI cover jinx. No one ever said it's effective immediately."
    Correct, it's usually 7-10 days after the story has occurred. Which is why the SI Restructuring jinx is now so common.

    Here's how much Omar Minaya likes Hispanic players and food - he once traded Grady Sizemore, Brandon Phillips and Cliff Lee for half a season of Bartolo Colon.

    a fawning profile in which he was referred to simply as O.

    That should really come in handy in his new career as the scantily-clad pitchwoman for Overstock.com.

    I didn't know it at the time, but after I finished that article- I waved goodbye to a little part of my childhood, and waved hello to a world where things weren't so simple.

    We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for the road games, but once you get locked into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can.

    Sports could have used a strong leader at that time. Looked how many lives were saved when Kenesaw Mountain Landis took a strong stance against radium enemas.

    "I guess I can tell this story now, one of my great experiences when I was a young player. Don Wilson was all 'roided up and pitching a no-hitter against the Atlanta Braves. They had a juiced-up Orlando Cepeda, a tweaked Rico Carty, Felipe Alou on uppers and Hank Aaron, of course. And they got to the ninth inning, he got two outs, no one on base, and Hank Aaron was the hitter. And in my infinite wisdom, I ran in to the mound. I said, "You know, it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if Hank Aaron took PEDs. He said, "Get back to second base." I proceeded to go back to second base. He threw three fastballs right by Hank Aaron. No-hitter."
