This image was lost some time after publication. • The unwritten rules of baseball, written. Had they done this a few days ago, they could've saved Sean Tracey a lot of aggravation. [ action-squad]
• And here's why the unwritten rules of baseball don't work for soccer. Rally shin guards, not such a good idea. [ Zembla]
• "This Week In Soccer." Mel Allen would be proud. An excellent breakdown of the first week of the World Cup. [ A Trivial Pursuit]
• A few words on Ben Roethlisberger and his (former) feelings of invincibility. [ The Pink Seats]

• T. Boone Pickens. Great at being a college football booster, perhaps a little lacking in the son-raising department. Happy Fathers Day, T. Boone! [ Wizard of Odds]
