Am I the only one that couldn't help snickering at ESPN's "Where are they now" profile on former MLB skipper Mike Hargrove yesterday?

Patron Saint, F*ck Face Get Balls Broken

Leave it up to the New York Post's Page Six to not leave well enough alone.

OFF-FIELD MEMORIES

MAJOR League Baseball hates scandal, yet two on- air personalities on its new MLB Network were once caught up in controversy. Three years ago, former Seattle Mariner Harold Reynolds was canned from ESPN after alleged sexual harassment. Reynolds called the charge "a total misunderstanding . . . I gave a woman a hug, and I felt like it was misinterpreted," and he won a seven-figure, wrongful termination suit. Still, veteran radio sports producer Tom Somach told Page Six he was surprised by the hiring, asking, "What kind of message does that send?" And working as a guest analyst is Baltimore Oriole Billy Rip ken, whose 1989 baseball card showed him holding a bat with "[bleep] face" written on the knob. The card was yanked and re vised. MLB flack Matt Bourne called Reynolds "an exemplary employee in every way" and said Ripkin's card flap was "a very minor incident and what I would term as seemingly a prank."

Hot Girl-on-Girl Protest at Safeco

Here's a cause we could really get behind (unless, of course, it includes male-on-male affection, which is gross to 1/7 of our male writing staff), in the wake of the Tila Tequilla-chasing Sirbrina Guerrero's "Discrimination"-induced temper tantrum at "generally gay-friendly Seattle['s]" Safeco Field back in May.

From The Seattle Times:

After the story broke, the Mariners were blasted by the sex-advice columnist Dan Savage, who wrote about the incident on the blog of the Stranger, an alternative weekly paper.

Savage called for a "kiss-in" to protest against the Mariners.

When we asked about his thoughts about such a protest, M's manager John McLaren insisted participants "buckle it up."
