It’s that time of year again. Boy, I say that a lot.
A couple of players get inducted into the Hall of Fame; Andre Dawson and Dale Murphy don’t because they played one era before their accomplished were rendered obsolete; ESPN speculates on who will get in next year; someone mentions that Pete Rose should be reinstated.
Reinstated? Really? For Rose? Pete Rose?
You must be higher than Ricky Williams in Amsterdam.

Trivia Question of the week: What has happened more often in the modern era, perfect games or unassisted triple plays? (Answer after the jump.)
I’m sorry, Tom. I truly am. You were all set to win your record-equalling sixth Open Championship, and I screwed it up.
I’m truly, truly sorry.
At the same time, I’m still waiting for my thanks from Stewart Cink
Had it not been for me; had I not abandoned my well-conceived final-round strategy of not looking at any Tom Watson putt of more than six feet, Watson would have easily sunk that par chance on the 72nd hole. Easily.

Trivia Question of the week: In terms of population, what is the smallest US state that has a team in all 4 professional leagues. What is the largest state with no teams? (Answer after the jump.)
By Diane M. Grassi
It is the age-old argument that will never go away amongst baseball aficionados a/k/a baseball fans. And that is, the comparison of individual players from different eras in which they played, as opposed to those who compete presently. What fascinates fans is that there is no right or wrong answer, thus the perpetuation of the argument and the historic relevance of players in Major League Baseball, unlike any other professional or amateur sport.

Gregg Doyel of CBSSports.com has made a crusade against Twitter, and I cannot say I blame him. What is Twitter other than 140 characters of bumbling idiocy masquerading as “tweets?”
Okay, I have a Twitter account, or had, not sure anymore. I beat the fad by six months because a friend asked me to set up an account. I never used it. I’m not a hypocrite.
But for all Twitter is, it serves its purposes. It promotes news sources and the like, and blah, blah, blah.
This draft wasn’t top heavy in talent, but it did provide for some interesting prospects for some teams and some blockbuster deals.
The report cards are in.
Here are the winners, losers, and everyone in between.
NBC did it, again. Congrats, I did not think it was possible.
After providing terrible coverage of Roland Garros, NBC had to one-up itself at Wimbledon.
Sure, I’ll cut NBC some slack for airing matches on tape delay while equally important matches were going on live; I’m used to that by now. If I want to watch something live, that is what justin.tv is for, right?
But what I won’t cut NBC any slack for is its disrespectful coverage of doubles.
