    Silly boy. They'll be too busy building arks and gathering animals to debate about anything.

    This story I saw in the Telegraph this weekend concerns me.
    As a kid from Santa Clarita, I heard about the impending "big one" all the time.
    But I really do think a 7.5-magnitude event on the Puente Hills would be calamitous because it runs right under downtown Los Angeles.

    Six years. Six long fucking years. Fire the damn manager (wait, we did - Hank O'Day). Well, fuck. Bring Chance back!

    Oh c'mon, they'll be fine. They've got that winning tradition, a new ballpark, and they're a big market team. Who's going to supplant them as baseball's dominant force, the Yankees? That team hasn't won anything!

    They couldn't even hold onto the Peerless Leader. They were so bad, he quit. Maybe Roger Peckinpaugh will be the guy to lead them.

    They've gotta beat the Red Sox first, and that's never happening. Never. That Ruth guy is going to have the Sox winning pennants for the next 25 years, I tells ya. He's a helluva pitcher.

    Yep, glad that Red Sox owner didn't go for that "No, No Nanette" gig. And did you see that game the other day? Some guy named Bartholomew Bartman tried to catch a foul ball down the line, top of the ninth, and mind-in-the-game Cubs fans yanked him back and beat him to his senses. Cubs held on and won the damn game, thank God.

    Meanwhile, the Braves have done nothin' so far. I thought Evers was supposed to give them a spark?

    God damn it AP, what's the holdup on the Federal League roundups?

    Bartholomew Bartman shouldn't have been wearing those huge vacuum tube headphones.

    That league is on really solid financial footing. But the Whales' ballpark has all the charm of a sweatshop. It'll never last.

    Did you hear about the DiMaggios? They're about to have a baby. That kid's gonna be a born loser.
