Don't these people recognize the importance of defense?  Idiots.

If you haven't seen it, Plunk Biggio is doing a pre-season survey which is truly funny, not just theoretically funny.

"Plunk" would be a good nickname for Biggio.  Better than "Bidge," in my opinion.
blah, blah, blah . . .

I thought it was funny.

Catcher Michael Barrett won the Silver Slugger award last year, which is apparently given to a random player whose name is drawn out of a hat.

I thought it was funny too.  The line about theoretically funny was stolen from their description of Mark Prior, which I thought was really funny.  Really.   The line about them being idiots was me being an idiot.

My Ranger buddies didn't like the Michael Young comments on the AL Preview.

My favorite part was their assessment of the Brewers' outlook:

I know this is off the subject, but the Green Bay Packers have a player on their team who once shit in somebody?s laundry basket.
How can you ask me a question like that?  Do you ask The Beatles that??

Pitcher Dewon Brazelton couldn?t find the plate if his own catcher bashed him over the head with it, which actually happened several times in Tampa Bay.




Great line.
