Jake Peavy Doesn't Have Hand

Before we get to Sunday's action, here's what they're saying about the Jake Peavy spitball controversy from over the weekend ...

You Know What? We Prefer Orton And His Jack

Because we haven't had any fun Athlete Doing What Most Of Us Do All The Time But It's Still Amusing To See Because It's Funny When The Public Relations Bubble Is Burst And They Look Like Normal Human Beings pictures for a while, we present you this shot of San Diego Padres pitcher Jake Peavy, downing some Jagermeister straight out of the bottle.
