Greetings from the sports desk located somewhere below decks of the Good Pirate Ship RedState. Sammy the Shark and Karl the Kraken are too busy analyzing the Stanley Cup Finals matchup between the high-flying Edmonton Oilers and the blue-collar Florida Panthers to help with the writing today, so to paraphrase Stealers Wheel, you’re stuck in the middle with me.
One would think that between the Great White North versus Sunny South angle of the Stanley Cup finals and the Stuck-Up North versus “Why Can’t the Cowboys Do This Well” Smiling South angle of this year’s NBA Finals featuring the Boston Celtics and Dallas Mavericks, these would be the predominant sports stories making the rounds. Instead, we need to talk baseball. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, mind you. Unfortunately, it’s not the game that is the news.
Major League Baseball has banned San Diego…
