The art of the argument in Major League Baseball
Other than the occasional Family Guy rerun, my television rarely strays from ESPN.

After a called third strike to Alex Rodriguez that appeared just off the plate, Yankee manager Joe Girardi rushed out of the dugout [...]
MLB Power Rankings: Yankees edge closer to top spot
