Petulant: Showing sudden irritation, especially over some trifling annoyance.
Petulant children just need to be waited out. The waiting out approach often will lead to temporary discourse but usually ends up benefiting both parties involved. Sometimes this approach does not work as...

God Bless Alex
Rarely does one man end a debate with his words. God bless Alex Rodriguez for ending the steroid debate with his actions.
For some 15 or so years, the debate about the game has been who did it, who had an unfair advantage. Who hit more...

It appears that USA Baseball needs to wake up and realize that the rest of the world can play baseball as well. Thankfully the stunning flameout of the Dominican Republic team takes a little heat off (who loses twice to the Netherlands? This is baseball not curling!), but...

Red Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon on Thursday stood by his comments he made to a magazine comparing Manny Ramirez to a cancer and that jettisoning the unique slugger to the left coast was in the best interest of Red Sox Nation.

Today, the saga of TO relocated to another NFL city as the outspoken wide receiver will now be catching passes on the shores of Lake Erie.? Good for TO and for the Bills.? I think both ended up winners in this case with TO getting paid $6.5MM for one year and the Bills getting a [...]

The question in Dallas in the 80?s was who shot JR; the question for 2009, who shot TO???? While I can?t pipe in the theme music from the late, great primetime soap Dallas, the current goings on in Big D smack of that old drama? Jerry says he loves TO, Romo says he needs TO, [...]

My esteemed but sometimes obtuse colleague mentioned that he would have Derek Jeter on his team over Alex Rodriguez.? I agree, from a fans perspective, he may be on to something, but as an owner, GM or manager, he is out in left field (no pun intended).? For fans, sports are all about memorable ...
