1. Never invite Brett Favre to a party and ask him to RSVP. Just assume he’s going to show up.
2. Amazingly, people don’t know how to spell Favre AKA F-A-V-R-E (sorry There’s Something About Mary). One of the top trending topics on Twitter is Farve (that is F-A-R-V-E).
3. I didn’t think that I needed another reason to hate the Eagles but they gave me another. BTW, this jersey is sort of ironic.
4. New York City loses a LOT of people at night.
5. Cubs fans are not classy
6. Derek Jeter may become the second-best hitting shortstop ever. At least according to Rob Neyer
7. You only have so many chances. Unless your name is Todd Bertuzzi.
8. The Yankees are really good (at least according to Buster Olney), but sometimes kill themselves by throwing away games started by Brett Tomko. The Yankees need to win these games, regardless of how upset Tomko was about being shipped off.
9. The Yankees have a wives club that didn’t include Cynthia Rodriguez and doesn’t include Minka Kelly (I’m not really surprised by either, but they were both learned this week)
10. According to The Washington Post, the Nationals wives have it much, much worse
11. According to Baseball Musings, Joe Mauer is better at driving in runs than Mark Teixeira. I think Tex may have to step up his game to seal the MVP.
12. According to Baseball Musings, Albert Pujols has a 32.59% chance of finishing ahead of Hanley Ramirez in the batting race. That doesn’t assure him a Triple Crown, but it would make it pretty close to a certainty.
13. Joba Chamberlain has thrown some clunkers (did the government pay him for those?), but, according to Mark Feinsand “the Yankees are 16-7 in his starts and he’s 8-3 with a 3.98 ERA - pretty good numbers for a 23-year-old kid with 35 career starts in the big-leagues”
14. Everyone on the Mets is now on the DL and there are worse managers (barely) than Jerry Manuel.
15. Rick Porcello was elected to the Fauk Youk Hall of Fame.
16. There’s a lot more foreigners than I thought in the minor leagues (via the Wall Street Journal). Americans, beware.
17. Computers may take over for sports writers, according to CBS Sports
18. Donte’ Stallworth is more shameful than previously thought. The NFL is less shameful than previously thought.
19. People have way too much time on their hands judging from the fact that this guy has an autograph rolodex and someone made Game 6 of the NHL Stanley Cup Finals in NHL ’91 (H/T Bill Simmons)
20. Let’s go to Bill Simmons again: “Reasons for Buchholz's recent success: engaged to Deal or No Deal model & had productive therapy sessions. Oh-kay. http://tinyurl.com/q6oggb”
21. The police don’t care if you’re Kenny Williams or Bob Dylan
22. The economy doesn’t care if you do porn
24. John Hughes was a pretty good guy despite his J.D. Salinger-like seclusion (via Molly Ringwald’s New York Times Op-Ed)
25. Oh, and I knew this before, but Red Sox fans are uncouth, drunk rabble-rousers
