@UweBollocks: +1. So does that mean "Dream Brother" is about ... ?

@Body By Bacardi: Magary. He ran a story about a vehicle striking a doughnut shop and I commented "Golden Tate wishes he had thought of this." I didn't think it was terribly funny but Drew was feeling generous I guess.

@Ryanosaurus Rex: The caricature of Easterbrook is that he "dabbles in conspiracy theory politics." Every post about him has to have some reference to a shadowy cabal of Jewish bankers, or the Gnomes of Zurich, or some such ridiculous thing. But that's an exaggeration for comedic effect. Just like we all assume…

@Desi_Relaford: Nice, although Blair Thomas wants to know why he was excluded.

Another streak that made it to 8 1/2: Fellini's run of Oscars in the early '60s.

Tell Roto-Rooter I looooooooooooove her.

Could have been worse, Kris. At least the Stanley Cup didn't call you an "ass man."

@Hatey McLife: +1

Alternate theories on how Jim Gentile won 1961 RBI title:

Golden Tate wishes he had thought of this.

Last time a Panda tried to teach children a valuable life lesson, everything went fine.

@TommyAce: Baseball-reference made an exception to its normal nomenclature for Kevin Youkilis' home page: it's "youkLke" instead of, well.

@TommyAce:

J.D. Considine thinks this license plate is total SHAYT.

For a slugger, corking a bat would be a fool's errand, but for a singles hitter like Rose, it might have been well worth his while to switch to a lighter bat that didn't propel the ball as far. It's not like he was going to be hitting for power anyway (only 6 of his last 1000 hits were home runs.)

@bevraj of choice: especially considering that he thought he was a woman (but he was another man.)
