Earlier this week Hank Steinbrenner said what a lot of us have been thinking as Congress continues to make baseball pay the price for dragging its feet on drug testing for so many years.
The new Boss called out the NFL for being “tailor-made for performance-enhancing drugs. I don’t know how they managed to skate by. It irritates me. Don’t tell me it’s not more prevalent. The number in football is at least twice as many. Look at the speed and size of those players.”

Tonight I watched a classic show on the HBO Comedy Channel, "George Carlin On Campus" from 1984. Carlin has always been one of my favorite comedians, and George is terrific in this comedy classic. He's done numerous HBO specials, and this is absolutely one of his best. This special includes one of my favorite bits of his, about the difference between baseball and football. Great stuff, and in it football is very warlike while baseball is more pastoral. I couldn't find the actual bit from "On Campus," but I did find this from a concert he did in 1990.

I give you the greatest commentary of Baseball vs. Football:
“‘Older’ sounds a little better than ‘old,’ doesn’t it?,” said George. “Sounds like it might even last a little longer. … I’m getting old. And it’s OK. Because thanks to our fear of death in this country I won’t have to die I’ll ‘pass away.’ Or I’ll ‘expire,’ like a magazine ...

This has not been the worst month in Blue Jays history - they didn't win any games at all in June 1981, and that was only partially because that year's strike arrived after they'd put together an 0-10 mark for the month.

Comedian George Carlin passed away on Sunday night at the age of 71, and while Carlin was known for being an exceptionally blunt and honest comedian, he also occasionally veered into sports.
This is Carlin's rather classic rundown of what the terminology differences are between baseball and football.
I've never really thought about it much before, but Carlin's right on a lot of levels. We definitely describe football with terms normally associated with war, whereas baseball gets the more lighthearted treatment.

George Carlin died yesterday. He was 71. You certainly don’t need us to tell you that he was the progenitor of the pissed-off comic that has been copied with varying degrees of success over the past several decades.

Carlin was probably best known for his routine, "Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television." (You can listen to it here; adult language, obviously.)

George Carlin - Baseball and Football

Rest in peace, George. Let us know how that worshipping the sun thing turned out. May Joe Pesci hold you unto his bosom while you ascend to heaven, my good man. You were... no, are brilliant. A real member of the Pantheon of Badassery.

George Carlin passed away (or "died" as he probably would prefer it to be said) yesterday at the age of 71. I missed out on a lot of the cultural significance of Carlin's work, but he was pretty damn funny - I especially like his appearance in Dogma , where he introduced Buddy Christ. One of his favorite bits of mine was about the differences between baseball and football. So long George - I imagine you're looking up at us with contempt right now.

Jamie Moyer "fired" a one-hit shutout for six innings, but Emil Brown's 3-run HR turned the tide in the 7th and Jack Cust added a 2-run HR in the 8th, as the A's and Joe Blanton walked away with the win. Final Score: A's 5, Phillies 2.
How ironic that a potentially depressing ...

In Defense of David Perno

Last Thursday, The Realist left a critical comment regarding David Perno’s stewardship of the Georgia baseball program. Because this lengthy comment (which he described as an "essay") raised a number of points and was well thought through, I believed it deserved a more detailed response at this moment, when interest in ...
