A-Rod gets exactly zero pitches to hit in the post-season, and yet manages to eke out a good series nearly half the time. What a bum. Also, as has been noted, he's better in the post-season than Mr. November Derek Jeter, especially since 2000, though yes, Jeter had a monster series vs. Detroit in 2006 when the rest of the team laid an egg.

You really don't think that Shelby's interest in this has anything to do with the foreign auto companies who are so big in Alabama? I mean, it's fine if you agree with him, it's just a little naive to think that he doesn't have just as much self-interest in this as his counterparts from Michigan. He's just as much a mouthpiece of auto company lobbyists as those who are for the bailout, he's just paid off by different auto companies. Edit: Yeah, what he said.

Exactly.

He has, but no one ever talks about them.

Runners on base generally mean that a good hitter isn't going to get very many good pitches to hit. But aside from that, a good hitter tends to be good with RISP and a poor hitter tends to be poor with RISP.

Oh, I don't expect great things from Jackson, but he's a young guy who threw 184 league average innings last year (OPS+ of 101). The Tigers need pitching very badly. He'll be a fine back of the rotation guy.

Edwin Jackson to Detroit for Matt Joyce. Apparently Dumbrowski doesn't think of Joyce as being as good a prospect as I'd hoped, and with the acquisition of Gerald Laird, Inge is back at third, so Carlos Guillen heads out to left field, so if he's nothing special I guess there's no real reason to hold on to him.

Okay, I think this is pretty much not going to change at this point. 1) Evangelicals - The Evening Descends 2) Ecstatic Sunshine - Way 3) Tim Fite - Fair Ain't Fair 4) Fleet Foxes - Sun Giant EP 5) Blitzen Trapper - Furr 6) The Dodos - Visiter 7) Ratatat - LP3 8) Dianogah - Qhnnnl 9) Crystal Antlers - EP 10) Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes 11) Marnie Stern - This Is It and I Am It and You Are It and So Is That and He Is It and She Is It and It Is It and That is That 12) No Age - Nouns 13) David Byrne & Brian Eno - Everything That Happens Will Happen Today 14) Vivian Girls - Vivian Girls 15) Th

It's not even a good song.

You're right, his teammates should have been getting on base ahead of him a lot more.

No, not at all. Most Chicago corruption is power trading, not straight up asking for money.

That started what all? The complaining about him? Because that's not true at all.

You mean Mr. November?

Also because he isn't really that bad in the post-season overall.

Might not have technically been his prime, but Clemens slightly past his prime was possibly better than Sabathia will be. We will see of course.

Oh come on, he's much funnier than Dane Cook. That's not even fair.

Predictable.

This news clip suggests that Rahm Emanuel may have brought Blago down. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPlWht42enQ

Right, the funniest parts of his show are other people talking and things sent in by viewers. He is so unfunny he may as well be Carlos Mencia.

Kerry Wood likely to sign with Cleveland.

I don't get as amped for live shows as I used to, but can't imagine just writing off live shows all together.

I think the coach's poll is kind of dumb anyway. None of those guys really have the time to pay much attention to any team outside of their conference that isn't coming up on their schedule.

McDyess re-signs with the Pistons. I can't believe I had to scroll through 3 pages to find this thread. I would have thought someone would have commented yesterday on Derrick Rose's apple-peeling-in-bed injury.
