Sports shorts

You know you're a football fan, when you find an ultrasound of a kid making your team's sign. They grow 'em young in Texas. (A tip of the conservative cap to the Waukesha Freeman).

The Tampa Bay Devil Rays (Good news, they're only one game behind the Yankees. Bad news, the Yankees suck!) gave up a 5 run lead Tuesday night and lost to Toronto 12-11. Wednesday night the bullpen pitched 4 innings of shutout ball as the D-Rays won 6-2.

Tim Schilke proclaims the Cubs are a mess and they beat the Brewers 2 out of 3. Further proof liberals are wrong ;^)

I don't know why but headlines like this always make me chuckle: LOL to induct six into Hall of Fame.

Former Yankee third baseman Clete Boyer died Monday at the age of 70. Boyer was a great third baseman (even if he was a Yankee) who might have gotten more press if he hadn't played in the era of the greatest fielding third baseman, perhaps, to ever live, Brooks Robinson. Robinson, if memory serves would play back to stop those shots by him and dare people to bunt. Boyer would play up against the bunt and dare you to hit it by him.

He died on the 50th anniversary of his coming to the Yanks in a 12 player trade with the K.C. A's, when the A's used to be the Yankees farm team.

Finally, if you're one of the two people who missed the tirade of the minor league manager, you can catch it here.
