Poor dumb therapsid might as well go to an Irish pub if he wants to eat offal like that.

Not to detract from DY story but I don’t recall ever seeing a link to something he has written. He just made a great argument for Selig’s career as commissioner, despite being of the opinion myself that owner’s have no business in that role.

He’s always struck me as someone who doesn’t pull punches and who’s articles often transcend the sport and deals with bigger picture stuff. Are my expectations too high?

Because Young has diabetes, his weight not only affected his game, it threatened his life. Keeping the weight off might not get him another MLB shot, but it should get him a few more years to live, which is the more important thing.

Look what it nearly did to Meat Hook? If that had been cake he’d be svelte and playing to this day rather than trying to recover from all that pie.
