What a game. What a back-and-forth affair on a hot, muggy (sometimes stormy) Sunday that held my interest headed into the All-Star Break. I'm guessing it might have held yours, all the way through the time Colin Moran slid into the plate and gave the Pirates and come-from-behind (a couple times)...

What is the world coming to? Apparently, we can't celebrate the beautiful people during the beautiful game anymore. My Lord do some get offended so easily and/or do they go out of their way looking to be offended. The latest tale comes from The World Cup, where FIFA wants to clamp down on --- get...

This isn't working. This won't work moving forward. In truth, this was never going to work.

The video has made all the rounds. You’ve probably seen it by now. In a high school playoff game in Minnesota recently, a pitcher struck out an opposing player with a 17-10 lead and two outs in the final inning. Jubilation ensued. The requisite dogpile around the mound happened. Players jumped and...
