The hell's this Duke/UNC crap? It's US-Mexico in the slop in Columbus!

@Rock You Like An Iracane: Be careful, Warden Jayhawk might put you in the hole for a month if you call him obtuse.

Party with Snoop too much at that bar and it'll be Mayor Pukeinstahl. Snoop's got an iron liver. And bong.

@FromKirbyToKG: See: AL Central, 2006. 96, 95 and 90 win teams.

@White Speed Receiver: Enjoy your last year of an actual home field advantage. What are they going to do in the new place to let your banjo-hitting squad actually work there, use bent grass and cut it down like US Open course greens? No more free runners for an opponent losing the ball in that inflatable roof either.

@Yinka Double Dare: Oh, and

@blogsarefun: To be fair, PECOTA thinks they're going to suck pretty much every year. 2005: projected 80 wins, actual 99 wins and a title. 2006: projected 82 wins, actual 90 wins. 2007: dead on prediction, the White Sox were terrible. 2008: projected 77 wins, actual 88 wins (I don't include the 163rd game in there).

Hard for me to blame the initial bar for a gas leak considering the place is the longest continually operating bar in Chicago - it's old as hell and I'm sure things fall apart occasionally. It even served during Prohibition — there are benefits to being across the street from the Democratic HQ for that ward.

Billy Beane would like to remind you that his shit doesn't work in the Oscars.

Doug Waechter.

The M.O.B.? Wow, that's pretty brutal behavior by four members of the Rice marching band.

Bill Simmons complains that they don't give him credit for the idea in 3...2...1...

@White Speed Receiver: Can we send the CCHA refs to do the game? I think a pyroclastic flow would call a game better than they do at this point.

So, for a visiting hockey team there's no redoubt from Redoubt?

If I have to see "Quick Change" one more time, I'm going to near-drown someone.

NFL teams shouldn't worry about the money changing him. He was rated a late round pick, and he's already been paid like a 5th rounder as an Ohio State football player.

It's pretty impressive that Warner can get a spiral on the ball even when he allegedly doesn't have complete control of the ball.

@ShakeTiller: Jeez, even most of the State fans agree Kampfer's hit was a clean, legal hit, and even the Michigan State Information Minister who wrote that State News drivel didn't claim it was an intent to injure.
