WFAN: Mets trade Lastings Milledge to Nationals for Brian Schneider

Did he wash his hands? - go to second to last image in slide show

Stings, doesn't it? That mock logo really goes for the jugular.

104-59 is not a good showing, but you've got to remember the Knicks are coming off a two game winning streak... No, they're terrible. What's sad is the Knicks have some offensive talent. I thought they could win 40-45 games and get a 7 or 8 seed in the weak East. I was very wrong. Zeke must go. He didn't get an extension, but he did tell the media about ten days ago that he didn't believe any changes would be made this season. This was interpreted to mean that Dolan gave him a private vote of confidence. Still, the 4-10 Knicks are better than these guys: Bulls***

Good point and you could be right. However, the one-two punch of impeachment and abortion still strikes me as odd and somewhat biased. Just my opinion.

I completely understand mentioning the Clinton impeachment, but the abortion thing did make me do a double-take. To put both in the opening line does seem partisan. I'm not in the biz, but they should have mentioned the Clinton thing and something completely neutral like how long he served in Congress. Interesting fact (assuming Wikipedia is true): he helped bring the Georgetown Hoyas to the 1943 Final Four.

No kidding. I'm not expecting a Melky for Santana deal. There is obviously going to be pitchers and probably prospects involved. Whether he sucks or not, the Twins are the ones pushing for Melky. Notice the commonality of Crisp, Ellsbury, and Melky. They're centerfielders. This fills a need. Sure, Cano is a much better player, but he's an infielder. Also, he's now a proven player who is going to soon demand a lot of money. Minnesota ownership doesn't want him because they would have to pay him, and they're too cheap to do so. Screw the Twins.

Santana, Beckett, Dice-K, Buchholz, Schilling I don't even want Santana that badly - I want the Yankees to develop the young players - but the Yankees can't let Boston get that starting rotation.

Yeah, the video is just Bob and the guy verbally going back and forth. At one point the guy tells Knight not to point the gun at him.

Alternately, you could retaliate with a clip of Welles as the voice of Unicron in the original Transformers movie. Then, yes, we could call it even.

When I used the word in regard to Dylan I meant: Again, I would stress the use of the word "exceptional," which would mean well-above average or an uncommon talent. While so many others are/were merely talented songwriters, I believe Dylan possesses/possessed an uncommon talent for songwriting. I'm glad to see that you seem to agree. I overuse the word, but my other possible geniuses (I'm confining myself to rock/pop music - whatever that means - so there's no Gershwin or Berlin or Ellington or Monk, etc. in this list): Brian Wilson, Lennon and McCartney, Tom Waits, Lou Reed, Nei

I enjoyed reading that. Well done.

Santana Trade Update - SI.com This article was posted about 30 minutes ago. Not much new here. I'm glad the Twins are talking about Melky and not Cano, and that they're only looking for one of the three young pitchers. I guess with Hunter gone they need a CF. From the Sox the Twins want Buckholz or Lester and Ellsbury - I guess they don't have any interest in Crisp.

Whatever you do, don't get a Brooklyn Industries messenger bag. Mine fell apart under the minimal weight of school books in less than a month. Don't waste your money.

Orson Welles made Citizen Kane when he was 25. Hemingway wrote The Sun Also Rises when he was 25. Fitzgerald wasn't much older when he wrote The Great Gatsby. Picasso's "Blue Period" ended before he was 25. Rembrandt's best known work was created before he was 30. Mozart proved his genius pretty early on. He was something of a child prodigy, but I guess that was the popular music of the time. Also - Dylan related - there's Rimbaud. He gave up writing when he was 20. I think the term "genius" is used way too liberally today. I'm guilty of overusing the word myself, but I would, without hesit

First I thought of: "If being wrong's a crime, I'm serving forever" or "If being afraid is a crime, we hang side by side"

There is only one album on that list that I absolutely loved: Jens Lekman (#21) There are many that I thought were good to very good: Menomena (#85), The Clientele (#57), Justice (#46), Spoon (#29), LCD Soundsystem (#22), Radiohead (#11), Wilco (#7) It's not worth listing the ones I felt were pretty good to good. I was disappointed not to see White Williams, David Vandervelde, or Panda Bear. I'd like to think each of those were good enough to make a top 100 list, as they'd be near my personal top 10. Oh, well. Also, I'd agree with Markosis that the Sea and Cake album - and the band in
