Hottieball

Okay, so I usually steer away from posts about guys that I think are fine. Who cares who turns me on? But in honor of Opening Day, the only holiday that matters on my calendar, I think I've discovered the real secret behind the improbable success of the low-budget Oakland A's. And it has nothing to do with "Moneyball."

With rare exceptions, their roster oozes sex appeal, and they keep importing new hotties (Crosby, Harden, Street ...). And then there's Bobby Ewing's nephew, Barry Zito (I'll spare you the gory details). Too bad they lost Mark Mulder.

No wonder they're my second favorite team (to the Braves, who ain't too shabby looking, either). Of course, I'd still love the Bravos even if they were comprised of 25 John Kruks.

Now I'm not implying that sexiness and winning are related. But it's a nice coincidence.

(Did I just lose my blog cred?)
