PET IT! You know how sometimes there is an author that is so on your wavelength that you are constantly going, "I wish I had thought of that," or maybe thinking that you really ought to be email buddies? Apropos of that, I give you Jeff Sullivan's Baseball Players as Complete Sentences and Baseball Player Surnames as Commands.

If we expand the categories to "Baseball players as adjective+plural-noun phrases that could get you slapped," there's one former White Sox/Twins/Tigers utility OF who fits the bill.

You know you're not supposed to read the comments on a sports blog, right? If you find the comments horrifying and depressing, it's your own fault. We don't blame the lion for being retromingent; we just don't stand behind him.
