MLB = Bush League
MLB = Bush League

What the HELL is that? Are they eating the title of their show or are they vomiting it at each other? I guess they could be yelling at each other, but their heads are tilted back like they are sneezing. Or something.

The media (especially NBC) is doing countless profiles on Phelps and they rarely mention his DUI arrest. When the DUI is mentioned, it isn't framed as a black mark on Phelps' life, but it is framed as some sort of obstacle that needed to be overcome - like a pulled hamstring or a case of the flu.

This is video of Bill Murray at Midway Stadium after the 2008 American Association All-Star Game. I'm not exactly sure why there is a hockey goalie arriving on the field via zip line... but with Bill Murray, anything goes. Midway Stadium is the home of the St. Paul Saints.
