I kinda wish we still had Derek Johnson in the system...

What would we be willing to part with to get Stanton?

Word on the street is that personal trainers hate him.

The Cornbelters of Normal, Il host a Legends game each year, with a few former MLB players. This year's roster includes: Bob Dernier, Rick Ankiel, Brian Jordan, Mike Fontenot, Jose Canseco, Mitch Williams, Carlos Zambrano, and Mark Prior. I can only assume Prior will be throwing a towel session on t...

I get the feeling BFsIB will start asking to trade Fowler by the end of spring training. https://twitter.com/bestfansstlouis/status/833314681339121664 It comes as very little surprise that the Cards fan from Pekin, IL thinks this, considering he lives in a town that's high school nickname was the P...

In D3 news, I went and watched my alma mater play today. They're currently (at least as of Jan 31) the highest scoring team in the country. They won tonight 149-146. They were down 7 w/ just under 2:00 left, and finally hit some key 3s to close it out. Very intense. They sub the entire line, play f...

Craig Sager died. horsefeathers cancer. http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/1828 ... ies-age-65

Apparently, the two kids arrested (aged 17 and 15) were playing with matches on the trail.

Even ISIS wouldn't eat provel cheese.

It can never be overstated how terrible provel is.

Reports are suggesting he died by suicide.

How in the ever loving horsefeathers is Ben Carson even remotely qualified to be the secretary of HUD? He lived in HUD housing as a child, or something like that. It's the best job for him if he has to have a job in govt. By that I mean it's the position where he can do the least amount of damage. ...

K-Strass is a legend. He was also on the Office.

I'm fairly new to listening to podcasts (I know, what year is this?), but I've plowed throug The Adventure Zone, and My Brother, My Brother, and Me from http://mcelroyshows.com/.

They were expecting (hoping for) 2" or so. The front moved too quickly, and they only got about .5". The majority of the fires seem to have calmed, but there are still smaller fires that could pick up at any moment.

Doesn't really make sense for the Tigers to trade Verlander for one year of Arrieta + others, as I imagine it'd be. You don't sell off while acquiring contending pieces like Arrieta. That being said... yes, please. The Tigers need to lower payroll, but most of their high paid players are necessary ...

Vacationed there several times over the last few years. Two of my daughter's favorite places (Hillbilly Golf and the Westgate Water park) have been destroyed.

Maybe my homer goggles are on but I keep seeing the replay of the 4th down. There is no way he got the first down. The only reason it looks close is because of the camera angle. If you focus on where his body is and then imagine the camera even with the 15 yard line, it doesn't look like he gets to...

Court rules in favor of IHSA. I feel bad for everyone involved, its a horsefeathers situation for everyone and I sort of agree with all sides. IHSA would open up a can of worms by changing the outcome of a game based on a ref error. Plainfield North shouldn't have to voluntarily forefit a game that...

When I was little (6 or 7), I'd call them Fartinals.
