Those poor, poor SUV drivers . . .

It wasn't that long ago that animal rights wackos used to spray paint fur coats.

To all that miss those times, I offer you this. Poor guy . . .

What was the #1 song on the day you were born?

Find out here.

Mine totally sucks. It sucks so much that I have never even heard of it before: "Fly, Robin, Fly" by Silver Convention.

Ironic, yet true

In today's Post, Barry Larkin says of the Nationals roster: "All the guys, with the exception of Dmitri, are fairly young." That's right: Young is old, everyone who is not Young is young.

Reason # 62 that I hate Roger Clemens

For starters, let me say that I refuse to bid a fond farewell to a player more than once (see, for instance, Michael Jordan's retirements). Why can't there be more John Elways in the world? Go out on top and then don't make me hear from you again.

No, Roger has to keep coming back for assloads of money that no one has any business in making, and to top it off, he doesn't even deserve it anymore. I don't care about ERA's or strikeouts, but if you're making MORE THAN A MILLION DOLLARS PER GAME, then your teams should fare better than a 12-13 record (10-9 in his starts with Houston last season, and 2-4 with the Yankees this season).

In other news, the Mets have released Julio Franco. At age 48, the man who would never retire (let alone do it more than once) may finally have come to the end of the road.

New poll!

Since I'm bored at work, I decided to create the first (I think) PH4H poll.

With the Nationals about as far back in their division as the Red Sox are ahead in theirs, how long do you think it'll take for the Red Sox to clinch the AL East?

Go vote!

How fast are your reactions?

Play this and find out:

Rodriguez, the "Inevitable" Home Run King

For all those keeping score at home, the other day, I posted this:

"Furthermore, how do you rank A-Rod so low? He's got 494 homeruns at age 31. Hell, at age 31, Bonds had like 50!!! Not really, but in all seriousness, if A-Rod gets out of New York, with all its distractions, then I think there's a good chance Bonds doesn't stay on top of the career homeruns list for very long. If A-Rod played 6 more seasons until he was 38 or so and averaged 35 homeruns a year (plus the 20 more I'll give him credit for during the rest of this season), he'd finish his career with 724. But if, like Bonds, he doesn't actually start hitting with power until he's 35 . . . well, then I think he finishes his career with like 1000 homeruns!"

Today, ESPN weighed in, stating that "The talk will be about Bonds as long as he hits home runs or, in Selig's best-case scenario, the feds come to the rescue. But eventually Rodriguez will overtake Bonds in national attention and, of course, home runs. It's inevitable . . . Rodriguez already has 494 career homers. Six more and he becomes the youngest player to reach 500."
