Adele’s middle finger gesture sours Brit Awards success after singer is cutoff It was supposed to be a coronation of sorts for Adele at the Brit Awards but it didn’t turn out that way. The British singer had just picked up six Grammys earlier this month and the Brits represented somewhat of a homecoming after an incredibly successful year fuelled by her album 21 and songs like the inescapable “Rolling in the Deep.” She won six Grammys in L.A. last week — a haul matched only by Beyonce. But when she stepped on stage Tuesday night to receive the Brit Award for the best album award (she’d already won best British female) and was in the middle of an obviously heartfelt speech, she was interrupted by show host James Corden. ”Are you about to cut me off?” said a clearly unimpressed Adele to Corden. “Can I just say then, goodbye and I’ll see you next time around.” (Photo: Dylan Martinez/Reuters)

Ted Williams knew how to get on base…just like David Ortiz.
The Kid’s goal: Get on base
An exclusive excerpt from Ben Bradlee, Jr.’s “The Kid”: [Ted] Williams’s hitting credo was simple: get a good pitch to hit. Critics said he followed this rule to the extreme by refusing to chase a pitch that was even an inch off the strike zone, thereby hurting his team by having its best hitter often pass up an opportunity to drive a runner home. But Ted made the slippery slope counter-argument: that if he chased a pitch an inch from the plate, it would only encourage pitchers to throw two inches outside the zone, then three inches, and so on. History has vindicated Ted’s approach, as there is now broad acceptance of the value of reaching base, or on-base-percentage, a statistic that was not appreciated and barely even kept in Williams’s day.

Just some musings and electronic gatherings of an ink-stained wretch turned social media junkie. As JADAL says: No trees were destroyed in the sending of this organic message. I do concede, however, a significant number of electrons may have been inconvenienced.
