...Baseball. Almost as soon as the Fox cameras zoomed in on the now-infamous yellowish-brown smudge on Roger’s left hand, all the sports columnists and baseball experts began preparing their own take on one of baseball’s most common and poorly kept secrets.Yet somehow, the only thing that shocked me about the whole incident was how indiscreet Rogers was about his use of pine tar.

Party operatives plan to devote the election's closing weeks to courting Christians more intensely than any other single stripe of the electorate, all but begging the parishioners to give them one more chance even...

...wind was whipping through the white tents at the Head of the Charles Regatta’s Reunion Village this weekend, and somehow the footage of hearth flames displayed on the HD flatscreen in the concessions area didn’t seem to be making it any warmer...
