You’re my worst case scenario for my career in 12 yrs: a pious, unlikable blowhard who lives alone.

I have to say, it has been nice to watch Griffey’s career unfold in an old-school, pre-PED way; instead of belting 57 homers at age 39, he’s barely hanging on to a job. It’s refreshing. It’s the human body doing what it’s supposed to do at that age: fail. Thanks for sucking, Ken Griffey Jr. And I mean that in a completely genuine way. I swear.

The whole “whatever happened five minutes ago was the biggest thing that ever happened” school of making sports arguments has to be one of the most annoying sports media trends of this decade.

Amen, brother! As far as I can tell, sports media do three things:

1. Make predictions.
2. Second-guess coaches and game officials.
3. Blow things out of proportion.

None of which add to anyone’s understanding or enjoyment of the games . . .
