Cowing calls out snobby girls, sandal wearers & grandma
By Travis Cowing

My shrink has been telling me that keeping all my anger and aggression pent up is unhealthy. So in honor of his advice I’ve decided to vent just a bit.

Ever since watching “Pirates of the Caribbean” a year and a half ago, I’ve wanted to live the life of a pirate. Not the scurvy-ridden, town pillaging kind of pirate, but the romantic, womanizing, swashbuckling kind., Due to the fact that I am afraid of swords and hate rum, I could not make this dream a reality, no matter how hard I tried.

Sammy Sosa is no longer a Chicago Cub. Well, not exactly.

The only thing keeping Sosa from departing the friendly confides and becoming a full-fledged Baltimore Oriole is himself and Major League Commissioner Bud Selig. For the deal to be officially finalized Sammy needs to waive his no trade clause and Selig needs to administer his signature on the deal.
