LEAVE ‘EM ALONE / TAKE YER SHOTS
"Leave the man alone. And leave me alone. And let it go...let...it...go." - The Rick
I find that much of the mainstream media places equal blame on anyone who slips up, whether they say the wrong thing or kill their ex-wife - as long as it leads to scandal. Do Fox News and CNN have you all bent out of shape and confused? Not sure who you should hate and who should get a free pass? Wild Bill is here to clear all that up with a brand new feature I like to call "LEAVE 'EM ALONE / TAKE YER SHOTS"

Do The Numbers Even Matter Anymore?
With Randy Johnson joining an elite fraternity last night by collecting 300th win, it's time we ask ourselves if individual statistics in baseball are still relevant. I'm not looking to take anything away from The Unit - having the pitching prowess and longevity to win 300 games is no small task and as far as I can remember, Johnson's name has never been mentioned in connection with steroids. But with guys like A-Rod, Manny, and Clemens admitting to juicing, most baseball fans look suspiciously at anyone who dominates the sport. That may be the biggest tragedy to come out of this whole "juiced era" we're living in - the cheaters have actually taken the legitimacy out of the accomplishments of guys who did it naturally. ...
Big Papi Completes the Return of Boston’s Curse
An interesting theory has been floating around the blogoshpere for the past few weeks regarding Papi's recent struggles at the plate. Has the curse of The Bambino been replaced by the curse of the Papi Jersey? We can write "Papi Stinks" all we want, but age and lack of steroids aside, I would submit that the sports gods who temporarily smiled on Boston have moved on. ...
