Taking our talents to Miami: Marlins will get a...
Yesterday, the 2012 MLB schedule was released to the public, providing those of us who won’t be seeing our team advance to this postseason something to look forward to (remember – not all of us really care about football.)

Fantics: Ballpark Behavior Gone Bad

I’m talking about fans. But not just any fans. I’m talking about douchebag fans. Idiot fans. Those sons of bitches who won’t shut the hell up. Whatever you want to call them.
At the risk of pissing off...
