I know that it's technically the beginning of a new week, but we needed a link roundup. The man to the right
was in the Yankee clubhouse today (and was one of my favorite baseball players when I first started following the game though he's one of my least favorite members of
Baseball Tonight). As we debate
what LOST stars should do next, I finish watching
Dwayne Wade dominate, and I continue to be amazed upon learning
what the creator of Weeds looks like, let's get to some great links from the past week:
