2016 Senior League Division Series: Game 5, Dodgers @ Nationals
Ugh. If there’s a player I’d like less than Chase Utley (who broke Miguel Tejada’s leg last year in the dirtiest play since Ty Cobb retired) to drive in the run that sent the Dodgers (93 – 73) back to the Nationals (97 – 69) for a deciding Game 5, I don’t know who it …

Shutting Down The Death Funnel(s)
I’m sure you’ve heard by now about the Dakota Access Pipeline. As important as that one particular action is, the DAP is simply one of many pipelines shoveling dirty and expensive to produce and refine oil around the U.S. and across the boarder with Canada.
