Sosa reportedly took PEDs

In the "no duh!" department, comes this news: Sammy Sosa reportedly tested positive for performance enhancing drugs in 2003.

How can I tell that it is truly a "No duh!" piece of news?

Well, besides the fact that Sosa suddenly became a body double for the Incredible Hulk while putting up some of the highest power numbers ever in baseball history, check out this SportsNation poll from ESPN.com

It's not scientific, but only two percent of people who responded were "shocked" that Sosa tested positive.

T-Pain

While FiveZeroFive says T-Pain makes horrible music (he has a song with Taylor Swift, apparently), I counter with this:

Should Ensign resign?

John Ensign in 1998 while running for Senate:

Clear differences emerged during a series of questions from the audience. Ensign repeated his call for President Clinton's resignation in light of his admitted affair with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky. Reid called the affair immoral but said he would "keep an open mind" and let the process proceed before deciding whether to impeach Clinton.

Senator John Ensign today:

Republican Sen. John Ensign of Nevada admitted Tuesday he had an extramarital affair with a member of his campaign staff.

Ensign told The Associated Press in a statement, "I deeply regret and am very sorry for my actions."

Ensign did not win in 1998, but he did two years later. He is the junior Senator from Nevada.

What it would look like if I played baseball

If there is one sport that I would be horrible at more than any other, it is baseball. I'm not the best at throwing, catching or hitting. But I can run.

Anyway, if I were to play baseball, it would most likely look something like the Not Web Gems from ESPN's Baseball Tonight:

Report: 90% Of Waking Hours Spent Staring At Glowing Rectangles

From The Onion:

"From the moment they wake up in the morning, to the moment they lose consciousness at night, Americans are in near-constant visual contact with bright, pulsating rectangles," said Dr. Richard Menken, lead author of the report, looking up briefly from the gleaming quadrangle that sits on his desk. "In fact, it's hard to find a single minute during which the American public is not completely captivated by these shining…these dazzling…."

"I'm sorry," Menken continued. "What were we discussing again?"

America's Finest News Source indeed.

Why it is alright to hate Rossi

From Soccer By Ives:

Most U.S. fans don't hate Rossi simply because he didn't choose to play fo the USA, the hate stems from the fact that Rossi is a special talent, a once-in-a-generation player who has qualities never seen in an American player before. If it were simply about not playing for the USA then Americans fans would have much more hate for Edgar Castillo, who not only chose another country but chose arch-rival Mexico. As it stands, Castillo goes largely ignored by American fans, an afterthought who only recently came back into the picture now that a FIFA rule change could allow him to play for the United States.

Rossi scored two goals for Italy against the United States yesterday. Italy won 3-1.

Facebook has more US users than MySpace

I have hated MySpace for a long time now. I prefer Facebook, and it appears that many Americans feel the same way as I do.

From the Los Angeles Times:

Facebook Inc., after eclipsing MySpace in global users last year, now leads its social-networking rival in the U.S. as well, according to research firm ComScore Inc.

The Palo Alto, Calif., company had 70.28 million U.S. users last month, topping MySpace's 70.26 million, ComScore said. Facebook's users almost doubled from a year earlier, while MySpace lost 5%.

Facebook has more than 300 million users worldwide.
