Mr. T Joins Sox's Regular Gang Of Idiots
According to the Boston Herald, the first pitch at Friday's Red Sox-White Sox game is going to be thrown out by Mr. T.

Just Asking ... Hypothetical ... No Offense Intended
We know we're not supposed to be suspicious of this. We know we're supposed to accept that agent Drew Rosenhaus, who has been a feature subject in every newspaper with a beat writer and seems to want to single handedly send the NFL into a labor war, we know we're supposed to believe every second o...

Apparently, Dallas Mavericks whack-job owner blogger Mark Cuban has interest in buying the Pittsburgh Pirates.
