Sox Sidearmers
As I've mentioned here before, I'm a big fan of sidearm pitchers. (It goes back to my early baseball years fascination with Dan Quisenberry and Kent Tekulve in the late-70s/early-80s.) I know some baseball purists don't like them -- they consider sidearmers (and knuckleballers) "tricky" pitchers, but their deliveries are so much fun to watch.
So you can guess correctly that I enjoyed watching last night's Sox game when Chad Bradford and Mike Myers pitched back-to-back. Of course, it would've been nice if they actually won the game...

Minister of Extreme Sports?
Skateboarder Clears Great Wall of China
Daredevil skateboarder Danny Way rolled down a massive ramp at nearly 50 mph and jumped across the Great Wall of China on Saturday, becoming the first person to clear the wall without motorized aid.You're telling me China has a Minister of Extreme Sports and the there's no equivalent office in the U.S.? What if a Chinese BMXer wanted to grind the Gateway Arch? Who would our government send to witness such an event?
...A crowd of several thousand people, including China's ministers of extreme sports and culture, gathered at the Ju Yong Guan Gate, about a 40-minute drive from Beijing.
