- Ian Snell comes out of retirement. Vows to avenge the death of his friend Apollo Creed. I think. I dunno. I didn’t read it.
- Francisco Rodriguez is gonna make it easy for the Mets to trade him. Or keep him. Or whatever. The point is, he’s flexible.
- Miguel Cabrera’s lawyer suggests something shocking about his client’s DUI arrest. Cabrera may have been sitting in … a ghost car!
- Willie Mays debuted 60 years ago yesterday. Like a boss.
- Orlando Hudson’s groin, Ian Stewart’s hamstring. They all blend together for me after a while.
- Joe Blanton will be shut down for 3-4 weeks. Which is no biggie, because lack of physical activity is right in Blanton’s wheelhouse.
- And, as you’ve probably already seen, the Phillies-Reds game was bananas, while the end of the Giants-Marlins game was a bunch of applesauce.
Oh, and be sure to check back later today as I discuss baseball ethics through the lens of Kant’s categorical imperative and Rawls’ original position. And you think I’m kidding.

As much as I like the “wrap” idea… something’s gotta be done about the picture. I routinely skip out on eating breakfast (I know most important meal…ahh) and breakfast wraps/burritos are easily the most appetizing thing to me.
So, yea… maybe find a picture that has, like, onions in it or something. I don’t like onions.

The breakfast wrap platter, “it’s smiling at me.”

Has anybody ever gotten a breakfast that even remotely looks that way? Maybe I’m just too cheap to go to the really good places, but mine never look like that.

How about a stale hoagie roll full of rancid horsemeat, buried in a thick scrum of deliquescent Velveeta?

Yum. Damn…now I’m hungry. Just hold the Velveeta and make it provolone, with fried onions. And make it snappy.

“Orlando Hudson’s groin, Ian Stewart’s hamstring. They all blend together for me after a while.”
is there a rule against dating a player from another team?
P.S. your Orlando Hudson link leads to something else…

Something tells me Rawls would have had a thing or two to say about revenue sharing.

Hey, take it easy on Blanton will ya? I heard he was doing curls when he hurt his elbow. Whole turkey curls. He grabs a turkey in each hand and does curls with them and they literally get lighter with each curl making it a wonderful endurance exercise. He’s done when he’s curling skeletons. Ya know about 20 reps for him…

At least he mentioned Big Joe on the Breakfast Wrap. They go together like…Blanton and well…food, I guess.

Around 8:40 this morning, speaking of breakfast, Craig, you were patched in to the Weather Channel by telephone – something about rainouts. My mouth was full – brandied chicken apple sausage, in this case – so it was difficult to make out what you were saying. Probably becuase I had the screen muted so I could hear myself slurping my freshly ground Galapagos Island coffee.
in any case, here’s the point: I’m really happy to see your portfolio expanding like Mr. Creosote after eating the waffer-thin mint, but if you’re going to be poching on Weather Channel property we have to have a simple rule: you’re welcome to Tiffany, but Stephanie is mine. Got that?

You Rule!
I am a fan of both baseball and Kantian ethics. I have to say I never, ever expected to see/hear/read a baseball discussion framed in terms of the Original Position.

Damn Brilliant. You can never go wrong with Rocky III or IV references.
