He antagonizes the other team in an effort to distract them. Lots of purists were upset, but I saw all's fair in love and sports. To top it all off he lurves fashion and is now an intern at Men's Vogue. This guy rules.

Depending on his mood, he might pull off one of the multiple team jerseys he wears and spin it wildly in the air, scream at the top of his lungs, and exhort fellow supporters to do the same. Or he might pull an old lady from her seat and dance her through the arena." He earns six figures a year.

I'm sorry, the new Nike Hyperdunk is nice, but it ain't no McFly 2015. I appreciate the thought Nike, but either do it right or don't do it at all.

Sadly, no shakes or fries. I wonder how much it would cost to bring one to NYC?

1. Instead of using the All-Star game to determine home field advantage in the World Series, use the cumulative record for interleague play. Using one game where the players aren't used to playing together and probably won't be going full force isn't representative and home field is a big deal. This year, the American League would have won handily, having bested the NL with a 149-102 record.

2. It's time to get replays going in baseball. The angles aren't as tough as other sports so replays should be fast. To keep gameplay moving, they should adopt the NFL rules and allow two challenges per team, per game. Not that it would have kept the Cubs from getting swept by the White Sox, but it's frustrating when replays show a clear mistake by the umps. Time to fix it.

They don't review my second favorite, Henry Weinhardt's, but you'll have to trust me. While shipping is not cheap, Pop Soda lets you mail-order all kinds of delicious root beer and fizzy drinks.
