Anybody who has played baseball at any level has probably felt the pain of a fastball shot to the body. And for an unlucky few of you out there, you've even felt the sting of a ball to the head. Well, add Minnesota outfielder Torii Hunter to that list.

In the second inning of yesterday's game against the Royals Hunter took a nasty pitch to face from Zack Greinke. For a second it looks like Hunter is ready to rumble over the beaning but as he heads to the mound the pain must have reached the neurons and receptors in his brain and he did a pretty little pirouette before dropping to his hands and knees. It was all very Wile E. Coyote-ish. But Hunter shook it off and walked off the field under his own power before getting three stitches to repair a cut on the left side of his mouth. Are you learning anything from this, D-Wade?

Baseball players are such pussies. A hockey player would've gotten his stitches on the way to first place and resumed playing. That makes no sense but you know what I mean.

Assuming either the Left Wing or the Right Wing gained control of the country, it would probably fly around in circles.

A good man would prefer to be defeated than to defeat injustice by evil means.

Listen. Do not have an opinion while you listen because frankly, your opinion doesn?t hold much water outside of Your Universe. Just listen. Listen until their brain has been twisted like a dripping towel and what they have to say is all over the floor.

Eat a third and drink a third and leave the remaining third of your stomach empty. Then, when you get angry, there will be sufficient room for your rage.
