Joey Votto Owned Me
On June 1, Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto had a triple slash of .213/.330/.404. I wrote an article expressing the opinion that, at the time, he was bad. A lot has changed since then. Joey Votto, like he did to the buffoon in the Reds shirt at last night’s game, has owned me....

Women's Youth Soccer Championship Featured Terrible Pitch, Even Worse Miss

That threat was realiz...
