Look at the pictures. There's no way three, likely four of these Chinese gymnasts are older than 16 years. Check out this comparison between the Americans and Chinese.

Ron Artest's peculiar comments
Ron Artest's peculiar comments

Construda Construda posted 20 days ago from construda.blogspot.com

It took a hot minute for Yao Ming to make a snarky comment about son-to-be teammate Ron Artest. And it took the length of a cocaine heartbeat for Artest to respond in only a manner that Artest would respond. "If you go back to the brawl, that's a culture issue right there. Somebody was disrespecting me, so he's got to understand where I'm coming from. People that know me know that (I) never change

Braves want top pick Parker for Teixeira
Braves want top pick Parker for Teixeira

Construda Construda posted 22 days ago from construda.blogspot.com

The Atlanta Braves are asking for one of the Arizona Diamondbacks' top pitching prospects - Max Scherzer or Jarrod Parker - in a trade for first baseman Mark Teixeira, according to SI.com. Arizona would be nuts to trade Parker, the No. 9 overall pick in 2007.

I got some decent stuff out of Ryne Sandberg tonight but I can't post the story or quotes until they are published at News-Sentinel.com. I'll have the story up on Tuesday morning. He did talk about last Thursday's brawl.

Interview with Ryne Sandberg
 

Published 24 days ago by noreply@blogger.com (Construda) at Construda

Hall of Famer and former Chicago Cubs second baseman Ryne Sandberg will rejoin his Peoria Chiefs on Monday in Fort Wayne after spending this weekend in Coopertown, NY for Hall of Fame inductions. Yes, I'll ask the manager what he thinks about the brawl that happened while he was away. I likely won't get much of an answer for a few reasons: a) he's probably on some sort of gag order from the

What else can you say about Manny Ramirez that hasn't been said? The guy is aloof. A flake. A goofball. Whatever. I'm sure you've seen this clip of Manny in action a few nights ago but it's worth another look (and laugh).

Josh Collmenter didn't let down his fanbase. The mustachiosed right-hander pitched seven innings of scoreless baseball to lead his South Bend Silverhawks to a 3-0 victory on Wednesday night. The game was proclaimed to be Josh Collmenter Mustache Awareness Night and fans were encouraged to wear fake mustaches to support the pitcher

Been away for a while. You know... same drill. Work schedule's been nuts with all of the vacations from the senior writers and editors. By the time I'm out of work, whether it's in-office or covering an event, I don't want anything to do with computers, so I stay far away. The only time the laptop is up and running when I'm away from work is when I've got the Tigers live gamecenter up at
