Fahrenheit 451-Ray Bradbury If you?re a fan of science fiction then you have to be a fan of Ray Bradbury. His Martian Chronicles and Something Wicked This Way Comes are must reads. Fahrenheit 451 starts with the line: It was a pleasure to burn. Guy Montag was a fireman, and his job is not to [...]

post from MLB News Blog on 14 February 2011 08:06:20 PM. © MLB News Blog

Red Sox right-hander John Lackey showed up for spring training minus about 10 pounds. He’s hoping it’s a symbol of his commitment to a leaner ERA this season, his second in Boston. “There’s definitely room for improvement,” Lackey said. Lackey’s first season with the Red Sox was not awful.

Happy Valentine's Day, FishStripers!

post from FishStripes on 14 February 2011 08:01:44 PM. © FishStripes

Look, we know how days like today can be. According to a recent study, the pressure on a dude to deliver the perfect valentine is considered only slightly less than the pressure a member of a bomb squad experiences when trying to dismantle a device that could level a thousand city blocks. So don't beat yourself up if you're struggling to figure out the perfect way to say "I really love... spending time with you."

We're here to help! Unfold yourself from the fetal position, grab that heart-shaped Whitman's Sampler you fought five other guys for at Walgreen's last night, and attach this heartfelt card that's sure to make your sweetie swoon. Just don't blame us if she's suddenly got an urge to pick out china...

LoMo. When you care enough to send the very Beast.

You pay attention to some of the more sophisticated new stats than some older managers. At the same time it sounds like you?re not going to let those stats dictate your lineup. For instance, you?re not [...]

Braves prepare to start Gonzalez era (AP)

post from MLB News Blog on 14 February 2011 06:48:19 PM. © MLB News Blog

The first day of spring training will seem a little strange for the Atlanta Braves. Bobby Cox won’t be there ahead of everyone else, eager to get started on a new season. “We’re used to seeing him there at 7:30 in the morning with his spikes on,” pitcher Tim Hudson said. “I know we’re all [...]

Phillies Fab Five starters take field (AP)

Cliff Lee didn’t hesitate, raising his hand right away when a reporter asked which of the Philadelphia Phillies’ aces is the best hitter. “That’s me,” Lee said with a smile. Cole Hamels quickly chimed in. “I’m going to compete against him,” said Hamels, who’s been used as a pinch-hitter in the past.
