NoMich, I believe this is a continuation of that ruling. And this isn't the final appeal for the Washington sports team, either.

It's certainly a better game than Monopoly, but they might want to consider branching out a bit. The whole 'nerds' thing doesn't really apply to Settlers any more, as it has pretty much become a mainstream board game at this point. Now, if they start breaking out the old Avalon Hill version of Dune, then you can start talking about how nerdy they are.

Carlos Quentin makes his living by putting himself in the trajectory of rapidly moving hard objects. Consider the followingif you remove the plate appearances in which he got hit by a pitch from Quentin's career and pretend that they never happened, he would lose more than 3 WAR out of 8.6 WAR he generated over more than seven years in the majors. About 35 percent of the value Quentin generated for his employers has come by the way of a bruise.

What I don't get about Quentin charging the mound is that getting hit by pitches is one of his skill sets. Dude leads the league in HBP just about every year.
