Hey kids, history repeats itself just once.
- DO you want a hat? The blog 3:10 to Joba has one for you, if you are lucky enough to win a simple lottery.
- DOES every ESPN.com article come with an automatically-playing video nowadays? I'm reading the news over here, not watching teevee, NORBY. Anyway, Marvin Miller is wise and old.
- WHAT has gotten into my cousin Dick Vitale's oatmeal that made him so cranky about the A-Rod confession? He says he feels "used and abused" as a baseball fan.
- HOW will the Rays spend the $400,000 they saved by winning their arbitration case against Dioner Navarro? They could refund Vitale's season tickets and make him far less ornery.
We're done here today, Bub. Tune in tomorrow and join us as we get excited for the Official Day of Pitchers and Catchers.

Vitale completely over reacting to something? Color me surprised.

Massive Moustache Move: Fasano's Fu Finds Freedom
As if you needed more reason to not watch Around The Horn, they have Lil' Wayne on.
I don't actually buy hats, I just take pictures trying them on at the Modells in the Paramus Mall.
That Modells was in Stamford, CT. The only Red Sox stuff in New Jersey-area Modells is toilet paper with David Ortiz' face on it, or "Big Papi Poopie Paper".
Let me guess, the first three squares wipe well then the roll gets old and falls apart?
You have to spit on it and slam it between your hands, to get the two plies to stay together.
I read through 4 or 5 2008 spring training liveglogs today. I think tha means I've had my fill of the Arod tal. Or there will be six more weks o winter. Not sure.
Ok, so I'm not used to typing on a mac laptop. Lets try that again:

First one has a drunken vibe to it, Nut.

I want a Mexican Coke right now. Maybe a Lime Jarritos.
The new Red Bull Cola is very tasty.
The new Red Bull Cola tastes like aged horse meat.
Robbie Alomar has FBA. Allegedly.
1. Alomar's skin had turned purple, he was foaming at the mouth
JESUS CHRIST.
2. Considered one of baseball's greatest second basemen
WHAT?
And why did they do a spinal tap to determine it was AIDS? Don't they have tests for that, that don't involve sticking a huge needle into your spine?
3. he was raped by two Mexican men after playing a ballgame in New Mexico or a Southwestern state when he was 17
/faints
OH DIOS MIO
Honeynut, I think Alomar is easily one of the ten best second basemen in history. He's no Nap Lajoie, but then again, who is?
INVISUBL MESCAN RAPISTS!

Rob, you may have a point. I guess I got so caught up in spinal taps and shingles and Mexican rape that I couldn't see the forest for the trees.
@chief
Was Lorraine Bracco in the ring? Did she just get punched?
Honeynut,
I see her at a lot of fights, she's a big fan.
