Pam Anderson can focus on making movies with Tommy Lee, David Hasselhoff can get drunk and eat cheeseburgers, and Yasmine Bleeth can disappear into obscurity: Bay Watch is over. I’ll have more in a bit, but for now, enjoy what Sam Page and Keith Law have to say.
Darrelle Revis and Chad Ochocinco’s Twitter war is escalating. I love Ochocinco, as has been well-documented, but Darrelle Revis is going to shut down his entire account, I bet. Kudos to the Daily News for the “Revis and Butt-head” headline.
This kid goes to Susan Sarandon’s Ping-Pong club and takes Ping-Pong way too seriously. At every mall in China — and there are a ton of mall in China — there are little kids getting uber-serious Ping-Pong lessons from pros. It seems way less fun when there’s yelling involved, unless it’s the type of hilarious yelling I do when I’m losing at Ping-Pong.
Great story in the Times about Buddy Bailey, an American who has caught on as a baseball manager in Venezuela.

I like the points Page made about the whole ‘speed and defense’ mantra, and how its basically completely overblown.
All the supporters ever point to is the 1985 Cardinals, but no one takes into account that many factors have changed since 1985, mainly the ballparks.
For one, the Cards at that time, while they played in a big field much like Citi, the field they played on was also the old astro turf, which played incredibly fast. Ground balls screamed through the infield, line drives hit the gaps and corners like missles. Those things arent happening on the natural grass the same way.
The second thing is that you only play half the games at home. Is it realy prudent to build a team specifically to a ballpark you only play half your games in? With regards to the 1985 Cards arguement, you have to remeber that back in the mid 80’s prior to the boom of new ballpark building, most teams played in bigger parks, many with the old style astro turf as well, so the Cards style also fit many road stadiums, which would not be si much the case now.
