Actually it sounds like the asshole's batting average is way better than that.

First he used his slider, then his spitter, but now he'll have nothing to throw but change-ups for awhile.

So what I'm gathering out of this is that Cubs players should plan on conceiving their kidlins in October (since they won't be otherwise occupied with that pesky World Series) so that those babbies are born in June, when it won't make any difference to their schedule as they'll already be well into their swoon and out of contention...

I hear he likes 'em high and tight. He's good to go though, as long as he doesn't get caught looking or corking his bat

Just the usual New York sports freakout - because missing 1/80th of the season is really going to make a difference.

Francesca has always been a bit of a windbag who laments about the "good old days" (when he isn't falling asleep during his show, that is). But Esiason really has no excuse for his comments - not only are they in the same vein as "women are incubators", but they are callous coming from a man who spent the latter part of his own playing career raising a son with a chronic medical condition (his son was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis). I'm sure there were times when he dropped everything to be there for his kid.
