:lol:  I knew Ty Cobb was a son-of-a-bitch* but beating up a guy with no hands, that is classic.

*No I didn't know him but I have heard from reliable sources.

Supposedly, when fans were asking him to quit hitting the guy because he had no hands, Cobb said, "I don't care if he has no feet, either".

He also strangled the wife of a black groundskeeper. The groundskeeper had the audacity to speak to him, so Ty started beating him up. The woman wanted to intervene and caught his ire.

His game was powered by rage.  He was one of those Southerners of that era who was still fighting the Civil War and all that.  Supposedly he lamented in his old age that he wished he had had more friends but if he had done that he never would have been a great one.

In the '09 World Series he met Honus Wagner. He managed to rile up the rather gentle German so much that he got a split lip when he slid into base and was tagged in the face.

Well, Bucs are half a game out of first behind the Brewers.

However, it's nice to see the team compete for a change; and whatever happens in the next 70 or so games, the season so far has been fun to watch (esp. the series win against the Red Sox).

Biggest improvement is defense - offense is as sucky as always, and the pitching is only slightly improved.

:cry:  If it weren't for my picking up the Indians to follow at  the end of last season, I'd be tuned out already and foaming at the mouth for football.  The combo of my fantasy teams being filled with under performers and injured players, the Royals being the Royals, and the non-stop cock sucking of Derek Jeter and the Yankees around here it's almost just too much.  Thank you Tribe.

I was surprised to find that the Nationals weren't in last place.

The Orioles, though suck tremendous ass, are actually sorta fun to watch this year.  The line up is actually pretty good and losing 9-6 is just a bit more entertaining than losing 9-1.

it would be nice if people who genuinely liked a sport were to own the teams.

So, how about that Danny Snyder?  That man just looooooves his football!

You have to admit it takes a really special kind of pitching staff to give up an 8 run inning without giving up a single home run.
