Seems like as good of a time as any to restart the Bill Simmons debate:  http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmons/090507&sportCat=mlb

Timely.  Obviously, he had to have had most of this written before today's events, but he incorporated things pretty seamlessly.  Fair warning:  he's writing about the Red Sox...but I don't recall seeing any reality TV references.

Never wrestle with a pig.  You both get dirty, and the pig likes it.

Yes he was, then he forgot English, just like every other occasion he wasn't hitting dingers.

Touche.

Ortiz wouldn't be the first guy to get caught in a lie (Palmero).

Like I said, in my mind he goes from a "sure thing" to "maybe/maybe not".
