SportsFilter: The Friday Huddle:
A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.
The Sharks probably feel like they were kicked by a Mule...

Inspired by Adrian Beltre, I'm sure.

"... we don't do much talking in the 209."
Here in the 904, we think Braden should drink a tall glass of shut the hell up. This guy is so easily wound up there should be an opponent running across the mound every time he's pitching well.

Braden won't shut up about Arod.
I was always told if you give a fool enough rope, he'll hang himself, and with those comments, he had all the rope he needed.
-- A's starter Dallas Braden
Yes, Dallas. That is certainly true, Dallas.
When ARod hits a home run off him next time they face each other, he should yell "Can I run here, Dallas? Is that okay?" between each of the bases during his home run trot.

He plays for the name on the back of the jersey, not the front.
When did the Yankees start putting names on the back of jerseys. I must not have been paying attention.

If Timothy McVeigh had fought in the Civil War...that's what Dallas Braden looks like.

The national police commissioner in South Africa jokes that his department is praying for an early US exit from the World Cup so that they don't have to cope with the additional security required for Obama to attend.

The Curse of Rafa's Beard will be a new Anfield legend, a story to scare young Merseysiders with when they misbehave! Timing fits too.

Dear San Jose Sharks,
What the hell was that?
Sincerely,
Confused Viewers
(Side note: Which do you think was more humiliating/confusing/frustrating for Nabokov? Last night's Detroit/San Jose game, or the Russia/Canada Olympic game?)
