Or, you could look at Greg Maddux as a classic case of both.

Hey! (Yet another mark...)

At least the Cubs have pennants, as old as they are.

So, there.

Hey, we just got one this year. Just 'cause we got swept by the Evil Empire Jr doesn't mean we lose our pennant. I read the rules, I know how it works.

Boras deserves everything in the end that he could possibly get. And more.

Uh, oh...another body-part reference...

(Btw, I agree.)

Uh oh! Mr. PotatoHead is heading to the slammer.

This one could be interesting. So could the Mitchell Report be also if he tries a whitewash.

Who is that? Barry, who?

I wonder if he's going to charge the press who attend his conferences like he charges little kids for autographs?

What's the over/under on Bonds's jail time?

The World Series MVP is staying with the Sox! 3 years and $37 mil or so. I'm pleasantly surprised that he turned down the 4-year offers from a couple other clubs.

I don't think anybody's mentioned it yet on here, but ARod won his 3rd AL MVP in the past 5 seasons. That's pretty amazing. He also led the AL this year in HRs (54), RBIs (156), and runs scored (143). Not a traditional "triple crown", but hugely impressive since only 4 other players have done that in the last 75 years (Maris, Mantle, Mize, Williams).

No, you just said pennant. We got a NL pennant.
