As you may or may not know, the Gladiators are one win away from their first ever Arena Bowl. The only roadblock in their way are the wavy locks of Jon Bon Jovi and his franchise, the Philadelphia Soul.
Terry Pluto wrote an all-encompasing piece on Raymond Philyaw in today's edition of the Plain Dealer, discussing the many attributes of a guy who takes hits that would make Tim Couch look unscathed. If he were just tall enough, we would likely see him at the next level. However, the vertically challenged quarterback (he's listedat 5?10?) has spent seven years on the short f...

Sunk Costs are Sunk
One of the posters brought up Manny Ramirez last year, and it definitely deserves a post of its own. The phrase "sunk costs are sunk" is a catch-phrase of economics. Borrowing an example from freakonomics (albeit paraphrased and slightly amended)...Say, you've purchased movie tickets ahead of time to...
Manny Gets A Trim
Joe Torre is not a stupid man. He had to know that life with Manny Ramirez would be trying at best. Even the simplest requests, like asking Manny to cut his hair, would be the equivalent of asking an 8 year old to clean their room -- if they stuff everything covering their floor into their closet, you consider it a win.
So when Joe told Manny he needed to cut his long...

1. The return of Big Papi-Last season was simply not the same for the Red Sox. Besides the fact the Sox did not make it to the Fall Classic, the beloved Big Papi missed a significant amount of time because of a wrist injury. The Red Sox lineup was never fully in sync last season, especially after the Sox traded Manny Ramirez to the Dodgers. If Ortiz is healthy and productive in 2009...

Kyle Farnsworth got hit with a three-game suspension yesterday by Major League Baseball. Why? Because he tried to hit Manny Ramirez after Manny hit two shots off of Mike Mussina that night. Last time I checked, that pitch didn't hit Ramirez. If you want to discipline him then fine him, but …

Two weeks ago, the Phillies started a four game series against the Dodgers in Los Angeles. All four games were close, but the Phillies got swept by Manny and the Dodgers. Fast forward to today, and the Phillies rode Brett Myers and Jimmy Rollins to a 5-0 win to complete a four game sweep of their own over those same Dodgers in Philadelphia. Most of the games in this sweep were not...

Who You Got for NL MVP? A B&C Argument
The National League's Most Valuable Player could be the best all-around player in the game (Albert Pujols), baseball's home run and RBI leader (Ryan Howard) or the man that single-handedly put the Dodgers into the playoffs (Manny Ramirez).
