Surprised to see A-Rod actually follow through and file suit. He has almost no chance of having the decision overturned and it means the arbitrator's decision is now a public exhibit. Plus he has...

Sad to see Barry miss out again. I want to be excited for three excellent choices but it's hard when there are so many deserving guys left on the ballot. I don't know if Edgar is ever going to make...

Well, you can prosecute rape cases without the cooperation of the victim. You can also compel the victim to testify by force of law. More importantly - and to the point I was making - in that the...

Date rape is drug facilitated sexual assault, no? Hence a person being incapacitated during the act. Did you mean acquaintance rape?

There are no issues of power imbalances or privilege in this...

No, that couldn't be construed as a rationalization for date rape. Nobody is incapacitated in this scenario. Everyone has full control of their faculties. The ability to claim that the touching...

But she has to object to it on some level. Otherwise it's consensual, or at least presumed to be such. I'm not putting the onus on the victim to prove they were wronged. I'm saying they have to...

Hm, I think you misunderstood me. The only way this act falls under the category of unwanted touching is if the person affected views it as such. Obviously this becomes a bit more complicated when...

I'm assuming the home plate ump will just call interference and allow the runner to score automatically. It's possible the catcher could also be ejected for blocking the plate, I suppose.

Glad to see MLB come to their senses and ban home plate collisions. A step in the right direction toward making the sport safer for all.

To play devil's advocate it does mention that the kid was suspended once before for kissing the girl in addition to some other prior disciplinary infractions (presumably unrelated). If this girl...

Toronto strikes the first blow in the Riggin for Wiggins race.

Sad to see Doc go. He was one of the greats. Next stop, Cooperstown.

I'm assuming Beltran will DH and Ichiro will become the fourth outfielder/defensive replacement for Soriano.

So the three worst contracts in MLB now all reside in the AL West. Meanwhile, Oakland keeps winning division titles on a shoestring budget.

San Diego has a beautiful ballpark. I'd pick the Friars if I was in SoCal.

7 years for a 30 year old centerfielder whose game revolves around speed? I don't see how this could end badly.

So Ron Artest and Kenyon Martin allegedly had a locker room fight "over pasta" and Jason Kidd just demoted Lawrence Frank for insubordination. New York basketball, ladies and gentlemen!

I guess Fister's money is going to Joe Nathan now? So much for the salary dump explanation.

Yeah, even if it's just a salary dump to re-up Scherzer they still should have gotten a better return than this. Fister has to be worth more than one top 150 prospect and a couple throw-ins.

My point was that it seems odd that you would find this type of behavior particularly "sickening" - presumably because it comes across as effeminate and childish - when we have a plethora of examples...

I know plenty of grown men from Boston who have turned to rioting under similar circumstances which I think is far more sickening behavior than anything depicted in that video.

The Hall of Fame is already filled with guys who violated the rules of MLB in some form or fashion. Willie Mays and Hank Aaron have both admitted to using amphetamines. Do they no longer belong in...

I'm in the "Hall of Fame is meant for the best players in the history of the game" camp. I don't think there's a need to keep anyone out except for the guys who don't meet that criteria.

In order of worthiness:

Bonds, Clemens, Maddux, Bagwell, Piazza, Thomas, Raines, Mussina, Schilling, Martinez, McGwire, Biggio, Kent, Glavine, Trammell, Walker, Palmeiro

Mattingly and McGriff had great careers that most players would kill for but I don't think either guy was a Hall of Famer. That said, I wouldn't begrudge somebody for voting for them. The Crime Dog...
