Why?

 

Because it would be appropriate for the Random Images thread. With that much fur, a bikini would reveal nothing.

Now I'm off to look up Carrie Fisher...

 

Excellent point.

 

Rumor sprouting that the Padres are talking to the Phillies about a Hamels trade with the newly acquired Wil Myers as the center of SD's package: http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/phillies/Source-San-Diego-has-talked-about-Hamels-trade.html

Although the U-T writer says the Padres aren't looking to trade Myers: http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2014/dec/21/padres-phillies-hamels-interest-myers-possible/

 

This is from June, but still funny.

 

Some lower-level Yankees news: Trenton'll have a new manager.

Miguel Cabrera is expected to have another CT scan on his surgically repaired ankle in February, but is not expected to be ready for the start of Spring Training. I'm starting to wonder if the question isn't if he misses part of the regular season, but how long he will be out.

 

Man, another guy who gets the big contract and whose body immediately starts to crumble. What are the odds, man, what are the odds.

 

A player who has battled weight problems and other issues suffers injuries as he enters his 30s. So does that mean he is clean because he is breaking down physically at a more human rate or does that mean he is dirty because he must have quit using once he got the big money?

 

I think it means he is a witch.

 

Makes about as much sense as some of the other crap people throw at the wall.

 

Because Billy Beane wouldn't want to go a week this offseason without making a trade, he sent newly-acquired infielder Yunel Escobar to the Nationals for reliever Tyler Clippard.
