POPS"Left" out at catcher Remarkable, i had no idea this was the case for left handed catchers. And if you think baseball has something against lefty infielders too, you'd be right... "Not one left-handed thrower has played an inning at shortstop in the majors in 100 years. As for second base, there have been only three since World War II" Wow. Talk about inside baseball...this stuff is the baseball equivalent of molecular biology

POPSFunny quotes on steroid use in baseball Here is another one: "Former baseball star Jose Canseco has a new book out. It’s a tell-all autobiography in which he claims he injected his former teammate -- superstar Mark McGwire -- with steroids. He also claims that President Bush, who was then a co-owner of the Texas Rangers, was aware of steroid use among players. A White House spokesperson says Bush was not aware of it -- nor was he aware of most anything during the early '90s. Mark McGwire vehemently denies the accusation – he got so angry when he heard about it, he picked up his house and threw it onto the freeway." --Jimmy Kimmel

David Price, Matt Wieters and Joe Savery will be protected on our roster next year.)

POPSDefenders of Journalism Should Root For Cubs? As a fan of the valiant, injury-plagued (and still reigning World Champion) St. Louis Cardinals, I suppose I should take offense at this piece. But even with tongue firmly in cheek, CJR is making a serious point: the better the Cubs do in the post-season, the more the franchise might fetch in a sale. Too bad the Cubbies will choke like they always do. - Louis Hau

POPSCubby art My friend, Tim Souers, is a f*cking genius, and hilarious, to boot. There's only one page of actual posts on his new blog (which I, bossy girl, made him start) but tons of drawings uploaded to the galleries. Prepare to lose the rest of your morning...
