We usually refrain from mixing sports with politics round these parts but this here column about Bryce Harper by Charlie Pierce over at Esquire.com is worth a look.

I agree with Pierce. The Bryce article has to be one of the worst sports article of all time. Bleh.
Now. I just watched something Jonah Keri linked over at $#$%. You guys will love it!

Wowzers, Pierce was way too nice on that guy. I'd have thought that Hip-Hop was invented by Elvis after he caught a glimpse of Baltimore plug-uglies breakdancing to ragtime.

For the featured picture, I would have also accepted Bulworth...

[1] That Expos rap is somehow irresistible.

[4] It's the "This Week in Baseball" tune. Can't go wrong there.

[1] Agreed!
[3] The Candidate >> Bulworth..never been a Warren Beatty fan, can't see what the fuss was about..of course, his conquests of the famous abd beautiful is impressive!

Ugh I couldn't even read an article ABOUT the article

I had to Google the Neil Munro incident

[5] Yes. That was cool. What would be hip right now, is an Expos cap. I'm going to look for one.
