Is the show worth it? How should I watch it? And what should I know about the series before diving in? So far, we've taken a look at Seinfeld, The Simpsons, It's Always Sunny, Futurama, and more. Now it's time to get lost in the neurotic mind of Larry David with a look at Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Sports are no longer a distraction. Everything around us continues to change, sometimes it feels like an overnight process.

The last two days saw the Phillies add four new players via the MLB Draft. And while the jury is still out (and will be out for years) on whether the organization made the right decisions, there is a singular conclusion that can be made looking at the names of the newest prospects in the team's system: they are really, really cool.

The Phillies, who selected high school gun-slinger Mick Abel with the 15th overall pick have three more selections in the draft. They will not choose in the second round — that pick was surrender when they signed Zack Wheeler this offseason — but they will pick in the third, fourth and fifth rounds.
