    Like a lot of things, the LHN just fell into Dodds' lap.  ESPN basically volunteered to cover a lot of non-revenue sports and pay us a tidy sum in the process.  Hard to refuse.

    aggy had no trouble doing so.

  3. I don't care what the rule is, it was crystal clear to anybody with more than two brain cells that there was NO intent to go to 2nd.  That ump was looking for a reason to inject himself into the game and make a call, which is full-on bullshit.

    Animal cruelty case detracts from Baylor's rise

    Two Baylor student-athletes were arrested by Waco police last month and charged with animal cruelty after they allegedly shot, decapitated and skinned a stray cat named Queso.

    The March 9 incident has created a disciplinary and public relations crisis for Baylor head coach Steve Smith, as animal rights activists and local residents have demanded harsh penalties for left-handed pitcher Derek Brehm, 20, and outfielder Clint Bowers, 22.

    Brehm, of San Antonio, and Bowers, a Waco native, were released from jail after paying $2,000 bail each. Waco police, responding at 4 a.m. to a call of a firearm discharge, found blood on the door of Bowers' Chevrolet Tahoe. That led to a subsequent search of the truck, where police uncovered a severed, skinned cat's head and a pellet gun.

    Animal rights groups asked for the students' dismissal, or at the least a suspension from school.

    Smith had suspended Brehm and Bowers indefinitely from game participation on March 22 but allowed them to continue practicing. Smith lifted the suspension on April 6.

    "I feel this is the appropriate course of action," Smith said. "What Derek and Clint are charged with is unacceptable conduct for a Baylor baseball player. They are both being held accountable for their behavior.

    "I am not being insensitive to animals, and there is no question that what they did was wrong," said Smith, last year's Big 12 Coach of the Year. "They exercised poor judgment. But the whole issue has been completely overblown. What they literally did was shoot a cat. They did not torture the animal. And they did not drive around a neighborhood shooting cats as it has been previously reported."

    The incident occurred during Baylor's spring break. Bowers, out of action with a broken bone in his back, and Brehm, a talented left-hander who has missed action because of injury, were eating a late meal at Taco Cabana, a fast-food restaurant whose workers often fed Queso.

    According to Smith, police found no evidence of alcohol at the scene. Had alcohol played a factor, Smith said he would have sought a more severe punishment.

    Upon Smith's request, both players had a psychological evaluation administered by the university, and they will receive counseling, if necessary. Before Brehm and Bowers were allowed back at practice, the coach instructed them to explain the incident candidly to their teammates and apologize for tarnishing the Baylor program.

    The players released a statement through the school.

    "I'd like to apologize to my family, friends and everyone who has been affected by this incident," Brehm said.

    Bowers said, "Words cannot adequately express the remorse I feel for the pain that this has caused my family, friends, my school and the city of Waco."

    "These are fine young men, and I want them to get the support they need to ensure that an incident of this nature never takes place again," Smith said. "They are being punished. At some point in time that punishment has to fit the crime. To kick the kids out of school and label them as future serial killers is a very unfortunate accusation."

    I am really confused by the intelligence long-game of having Stan's girlfriend stay with him for 3 years after he got booted from counter-intelligence. 

    I dont care if she is a Russian plant or an American plant, either way, having her stay with a guy who basically torpedoed his career by insisting the CIA back off of Oleg doesnt really seem to make sense. 

    Stan is only getting dragged back into the counter-intelligence group three years later because he was the handler of the 2 soviets who they gave political assylum to last episode.

    and man, they are really foreshadowing that Oleg dies trying to "save Russia", and it will probably end up being an American who kills him, not a Russian.

    I was really left wondering about Stan's gf last night.  What the hell was up with her ham-handed "I want to join the FBI" stuff?

  7. How many NCAA Baseball Blue Bloods can we name before aggy even enters the thought process?

    Answer:  So many that you have long since passed the "blue blood" demarcation line before you get to aggy.
