Baseball
- If a team wants to go to the playoffs next season, they NEED to sign free agent Jason Marquis. Don't people know this already? Jayson Stark has the details.
- This is why fans get a bad rap sometimes. If I caught this guy's ball, the most I would ask for in return is a signed ball or some tickets.
- Forbes magazine list baseball's best bargain tickets for the postseason (H/T Rob Neyer). And, yes, the Yankees are on that list. Also from Rob Neyer, science and baseball meet in San Fransisco
- Speaking of science, USA Today runs through Baseball's whiz kids.
- Curt Schilling is not going to run for the Senate. In other news, Pee Wee Herman has given up his dreams to run for President.
- A Red Sox fan was released from jail so he could attend a game. Yup, sounds about right.
- Bobby Valentine is coming back to the US to work for ESPN. Does that mean he's not going to get a managerial job or that he's just going to hang out at ESPN until that right job arrives?
- The woman who made Fenway is now done with her job. I have to say, she did a nice job, though I still think the park needs some more work (like those poles in the way of people's view)
- The bases are loaded with Jews.
- The Mets Police sounds bitter.
- The Onion points out that Derek Jeter now has less hits that Harold Baines
- After making one of the craziest plays ever (the INT off Jason Whitten's shoe), Kenny Phillips is going to be lost for the season and is quite disappointed about it (as is his GM).
- Matt Mosely points out this could be even worse than a one-year injury for Phillips. Which is really disappointing as Mosely points out Phillips was developing into one of the best safeties in the game.
- While it seems like Rex Ryan and the Jets are making every great PR move (and the handing over of the game ball to the Jets biggest fan is one of the very best), one blogger thinks that he's just lining them up as the team everyone hates...and I think his biggest premise is because Ryan is fat. I lose him pretty early on.
- SportsByBrooks has a recap of Plaxico Burress' first night in jail and his rude welcome. Sucks to be Plax.
- A Russian billionaire is going to buy the Nets and move them out of New Jersey? Not if the mob has anything to say about it...
- But the new arena does look pretty damn awesome.
- Melanie Oudin may have been a bit distracted in the US Open by the details of he parent's divorce.
- If you watch Mad Men, there's two places you need to go the day after the show. TIME magazine to read James Poniewozik's Mad Men Watch and Movieline for the Mad Men Power Rankings. Both are awesome.
- Financial companies like Goldman Sachs helped fund Michael Moore's latest film...which in turn helps turn the light on financial companies such as Goldman Sachs. Irony or just ouch?
- Politico's Ben Smith gives a recap of Omar Qaddafi who seemed to be upset that the guy from Iran was billed as the only madman scheduled to speak at the UN. Jeez.
- Speaking of assholes, you need to put the people from the Westboro Baptist Church on the top of that list. Can't we just deport them already?
- Back to Iran, some thoughts on a better way to sanction them (H/T Wendy)
- Arianna Huffington goes to Israel. You learn in the first part that Ehud Barak is an ABB (Anyone But Bush). Gotta love it.
- If Joe Biden is calling your outburst embarrassing, you really have gone too far.
- Cost cutting has damaged worker morale? You don't say!
- Mercy or Murder? I hear a Law & Order: Ripped From the Headlines coming!
- Monty Burns for mayor of New York!
- Being drunk at the time of a crash can help stop brain damage (H/T Stacey)? That's really not a good thing to be telling people. Especially football players.
- I'm not sure how our government keeps on capturing all these potential bombers, but I don't think I want to know and I won't complain.
- Lastly, my co-worker is featured in this New York Times story (he's Channing). Go buy his apartment.
