Last week it was revealed that St. Louis Blues forward TJ Oshie was become a favorite of fans in the electoral system as well as on the ice. At the time the St. Charles County Elections Director commented that a fan who photographer their ballot with Oshie as the write-in candidate, “violated the law, and I'm going to prosecute”. As if we actually vote wasting seriously in this country. What if someone photographed themselves sitting on their ass, not going to the polls on election day? Isn't that the same thing as throwing your vote away on a hockey player, who's too young to run for the office you're writing him in for? Regardless, it turns out the Elections Director shot his wad a little too quick. Looks like the legal power to prosecute offenders doesn't come included with his title.

Major League Baseball players beware. Make sure your “supplements” aren't being shipped with a return address from Franck's Pharmacy in Ocala, FL. The tragic deaths of 21 polo ponies was linked to a tainted combination of B-12 and some other chemicals. At least Miguel Tejada and Rafael Palmiero can breath a sign of relief that their shared needle contained steroids instead of the horse-poisoning B-12 vitamin. Some people may think it's inappropriate to mock the deaths of horses. But most of the horsey set probably think a horse's death is more tragic than that of a human. You know, like their butler, maid, or gardener.

I think Bernie Miklasz generally does a great job as a Post-Dispatch columnist and his ideas are not without merit on most sports topics. But Mark Sanchez with the second pick in the draft? Why sacrifice the life of another multi-million dollar QB without at least repairing the porous offensive line that destroyed Kurt Warner and Marc Bulger's careers in St. Louis? Does anyone want to see another Rams quarterback collapse concussed to the Edward Jones Dome turf, because Stephen Jackson forgot to pick up the block that Alex Barron missed while remaining in his stance attempting to not false start?

Is anyone else wishing they picked up Nick Swisher in their fantasy baseball league? Apparently the new Yankee Stadium is a godsend for left-handed power hitters, and for that matter left-handed hitters with only warning track power. Speaking of fantasy baseball here's the link to Sporty McBloggin's current baseball league featuring W.H. and Killer.
