Florida Senator Morco Rubio (R.) had some choice words to say last night in response to the President's State Of The Union address. But most people couldn't focus on his words because they were too busy being fascinated by how incredibly dry his mouth seemed. Here is a supercut to address that very issue.

It isn't often that a fan can say they have something in common with a sports hero. While I don’t have anything in common with former all-star pitcher Brian Wilsons’s MVP awards, his career 171 saves, or his role in the 2010 San Francisco Giant World Series win, we both grow some pretty sweet facial hair. Along with that, Brian Wilson and myself are both currently in the job market.
While surfing about on the Internet for interesting things to write about, I came across what has to be the strangest themed amusement park I have ever seen in my life. It’s called The Holy Land Experience (not to be confused with the defunct Holy Land

I can't believe that the greater Seattle internet intelligencia isn't blowing up over this little tid bit of information that came out this past weekend. During the off season Nick Franklin went from 160 lbs to 195 lbs. That is an increase of 35 lbs of bash-brother muscle! I can't wait to see him in action! Doing this tells me that he is preparing to transition from SS to 2nd or even 3rd base.
WHOOOOOOOOOOPS
So, we're looking at an imminent roids ban eh. Michael Morse got dinged on it ... when he was a minor leaguer, before he had the MLBPA behind him, that is.
Our resident boot camp instructor offers a more hopeful scenario:

Bat571: Actually, having been around 19-22 year old sailors for my naval career, then around high schoolers in my second career, and having sent 2 19-year old boys on 2-year church missions, I wouldn't be too alarmed at a gain from rail-thin to Ackley's size. And I bet Ryan is about 190 (B-ref says 195 for him, too.), So, I know Florida is under suspicion, but I would guess Franklin is clean.Bat571: I went to boot camp at 128 lbs and came out after 11 weeks at 158. I weighed between 155-160 for 25 years in the canoe club. When a kid grows, he grows.
Two things:
My son's best friend is doing his 5-star hotel night as I type this, before flying off to boot camp in the USAF (sorry Bat!). I watched him use P90X to gain 40 pounds of muscle in three months ... well, he claims it's 40. Maybe it was 28. Or 31. Or something. The kid was skinny and now he's got guns. He had trouble curling 30's more than a few reps and now, three months on, he concentration-curls the 50's like a rat pressing a bar.
The Florida Everglades are being overrun, er, over-slithered, with pythons. The environmental balance is out of whack because of one of the most feared and hard to control kinds of animals around-- the invasive species.
