To be fair, Pierzsynski seems like kind of a dick.

Congratulations finally! Did you hear how they don't have anyone to throw out the first pitch in the playoffs, because "no one in the history of the franchise has done anything worthy of this honor?" I found that funny, but not an alltogether bad problem to have, I would say. I'm rooting for the Rays this postseason, if only because they beat both the Yankees and the Red Sox, with a payroll smaller than some individual players on those teams*. That's good sports, if you ask me.
*may or may not be hyperbole

Front page of The Sun today: some footballer that routinely attacks people is serving his community service. Apparently the photo of him 'shows that he is trash'. I fucking hate The Sun.

It's sad that you didn't mention names and I'm 100% confident you're talking about Joey Barton.

That is, in fact, hyperbole, Robbie. However, it's not any extreme sense of hyperbole. The Rays' payroll is around $40 million, which is about a third of the Sox's payroll (There's no effective way to call their payroll right now as they shed their most expensive player midseason) and close to a fifth of the Yankees'. A-Rod himself is making more this season than the entire roster of the Florida Marlins, who actually got just as close as the Yankees did to the postseason.
I'm excited to see some competition from the Rays this season, but I am concerned about the terrible influx of bandwagon fans. The Sox have too many themselves, but it irks me slightly to see people walking around the city in brand new Rays caps that were quite obviously not bought until the All Sttar Break. Where were these people five years ago? Three years ago? Shit, where were these guys in the spring?
Khar,I see your football riot and I raise you a concert riot.
