Around SBN: The 2009-2010 Card Chronicle Big East basketball preview

Apparently Nick Swisher was the instigator of some controversial clubhouse antics. One can't help but wonder if this would have been as "inflated" if it were in Oakland.

oh gosh

I really hope he wasn’t the one involved. The whole thing struck of such hateful misogyny, and that seems out of character for him. It’s one thing to be a ladies’ man, but this seems so angry.

Really Swish, what would Grandma think of that?

(Maybe they should think of sticking the bats up their own backsides…)

Yeah, I choose to believe it was the hated A. J. Pierzynski

Swish neither confirmed nor denied he was involved, but he has partied hard and somewhat irresponsibly in the past.

My money's on Swisher

"We get two outs, and I was sure, and I had a plan, and I shook Tek off," Schilling said. "And I get a big 'What if?' for the rest of my life."

this story should never have been leaked

what happens in the clubhouse should stay there, regardless of how immature it is

"It's not my fault your team's so shitty." -Steve Friend, head coach, Chabot College, to Laney College's head coach, who asked why we scored so many runs after we beat Laney 30-3 in 2006

How can you be on the same team as...

...Pierzynski and Guillen, and NOT turn into a hateful bastard?

The defense rests, your honor.
