Byrdman

Senator Robert Byrd, dead at the age of 92. Damn. Now I'll never get to ask him, "Is that a copy of the Constitution in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?"

Maybe the best way for a guy like me to sum up a powerful and complicated political legend is with that dopey joke. This is a guy who managed to secure a Coast Guard facility for his home state, West Virginia.

West Virginia is landlocked.

There is no coast to guard.

Now that's power, kiddies.

Does MLB needs a version of the "Physically Unable to Perform" list for the Zambranos and Bradley's of the world, perhaps "Mentally Unable to Perform" or "Unstable and Unable to Perform"?

At the very least the Cubs should consider some form of testing for prospects, suspects and free agents. The NFL has the Wonderlic, at the very least, Cubs should administer Rorschach tests to their baseballers.

But if team psychiatric evaluation is anything like their advance scouting, it probably won't help at all.

Sorry cubbies
