Around SBN: Steve McNair Found Shot to Death


The mystery of David Ortiz's unclutchness explained

We were all shocked to see the most clutch player in the history of baseball fail to produce in 9th inning last night. Well, the Worldwide Leader has explained it.

"In the ninth inning, with two men on base and the Royals leading 4-2, Ortiz grounded out against Kansas City closer Joakim Soria. He said afterward that he felt a click in his left wrist early in the at-bat, the Herald reported."

There you go, it was all physical. But now he says his wrist feels fine. His wrist let him down, but he'll never let the Red Sox Nation or his many fans at ESPN down.

Nice

Stephen Colbert is one of my few brushes with greatness. I bumped into him in a Dunkin Donuts in Montclair, NJ. He was there with his kids and I bumped into him and made him spill his iced coffee. He was cool about it. Boring, but a true story.

This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.

He was nice about it I'm sure

But I have little doubt you are “on notice”.

now I understand two things:
why my golf game sucks and that strange clicking noise I keep hearing on the course.

Every time I wake up and get out of bed

I hear about a dozen clicks.

It's not fair

last place teams like the Royals are allowed to throw pitches to teams like the Red Sox that might lead to Red Sox injuring themselves!

I don't know if it was an optical illusion or what,

but watching close-ups of Pappi last night, it looked like he has unusually small wrists and hands for a man of his size…take a look tonight.

We always did feel the same, We just saw it from a different point of view, Tangled up in blue.

Perhaps,

one might think

you spend a little too much attention to the size of a mans hand, hmmmmmm?

just sayin.

Who cares?

I mean, a “click,” eh? That’s…probably not news. Oh well.

A mind without purpose will walk in dark places.
