PGA:The Debriefing: My Best 7 Guesses at the PGA Tour's Steroid Abusers: 1. Brad Faxon ... look at that leaping ability. Clean golfers don't have the kind of vertical.

Is it because the allegation is true? Or is it because they're actually afraid of Sheffield?
Bleacher Bums: How to Get Yourself Arrested During a Rain Delay: I love how we can see the whole thing unfold, from the idiot in the red shirt goading them into it and getting the whole crowd to egg them on, to the actual clearing of the outfield wall and sprinting toward to the tarp.
