One time, Ty Cobb beat up a fan who had no hands.

I thought it was unnecessary to make these guys fly all the way to the West Coast, but it's not really that big of a deal in the scheme of things:

"I do not say this lightly: The Mets' firings of Randolph, pitching coach Rick Peterson and first base coach Tom Nieto will go down as one of the most disgraceful episodes in sports history."

I think it will be mostly forgotten in a month or two, especially if the Mets make the playoffs.


But, just for the heck of it, I'll review this Week in Sports Disgrace:

-- An NBA ref who fixed games to support his gambling habit accused the NBA of fixing a playoff game. The majority of fans believe the ref.

-- Cedric Benson was arrested for drunk driving. Which isn't too unusual for an NFL player. Except Benson was arrested for drunk boating last month.

-- Suzyn Waldman spoke about the Yankees, on air, where people could hear.

You're not a big fan of Hyperbole are you.

I listened to the game on the radio for about an inning. ARod doubles off the CF wall. Waldman says, "That's where his power is, to centerfield." Evidently, forgetting the ball he almost hit into the LF bleachers about a week ago; or the one he hit, like, practically into the spiral staircases in LF; etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc.
