I'm not fond of that design. She looks like an SNK character, and not in a good way.

My mistake. Seattle is fucked.

Yeah, we've got a game here. This could be terrific.

And again! Grant is just completely whizzing it down his leg right now.

My goodness, could the game have started any worse for Green Bay?

The look on Tycho's face in that comic is priceless.

No matter what the context, "mama you done stabbed me" is always funny.

Wow, I actually made it on to one of these things. 'Course, I've already lost, but still!

http://www.startribune.com/sports/twins/13627791.html The latest word out of Minnesota is that the Mets can have Santana - for the price of Carlos Gomez, Deolis Guerra, Kevin Mulvey, Phil Humber and Fernando Martinez. Honestly, I don't make that trade. Admittedly, the package without Martinez is a little light, but I think it's too expensive with him in the mix. I'm not comfortable trading Martinez in the first place, but I realize Santana isn't going to be had without him. Drop one of the pitching prospects and we'll talk, as I can live with the loss of Martinez so long as the pitching system isn't rendered completely barren at the same time.

That's one of the dumbest things I've ever seen.

That's so fucking cool. I'm running out of dream characters to be in this game.

Since there isn't an Ask Al thread at the moment, I'll just post this here and hope for help. Does anyone know if there's been research done on the average amount of runs scored based on the point of the batting order on which the inning starts? I'm curious to see just how much of a difference starting the inning on the number three batter makes as opposed to starting on, say, the number eight.

Not as embarrassing to the Buckeyes as last year's game, but still, pretty satisfying.

You can parry in the air but not block.

Game 6 of the '86 World Series.

My favorite is pickaxe, personally.

Coles - http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...&pid=446457 Meyers - http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...&pid=457462 Meh. Both guys seem like organizational soldiers and not much more. Pagan's a decent bat off the bench, so I'm reasonably happy.

Has anybody here been to one of SABR's conventions? It's being held in Cleveland this year and I'm thinking about going.

Letterman's beard is out of control!

The Jackets' entire current west coast swing is not being televised over here and, aside from a basic live scoreboard, there doesn't appear to be any decent way to track the games online. I'm kinda annoyed.

Hahaha. Marijuana.

So would I. If Justin Miller comes back healthy next year, Washington won't need to spend as much time kick returning (even though he's damn good at it) and could definitely be for the Jets like Brian Westbrook is for the Eagles. Maybe not to that extent, but a player that's just as valuable with the short passes as he is with the runs.

I actually like the Jets' runningback situation quite a bit. Again, Jones was working with a below-average offensive line, and I believe that this was an off year for him. The tandem of him and Leon Washington is one I'm more than happy with.

I still believe in Clemens. His performance was poor to be sure, but he was playing with a patchwork offensive line and several injured receivers, so I'm not ready to write him off as a failure just yet. The more pressing issues are either fixing the aforementioned offensive line or getting a productive nose tackle or linebacker to help improve the abysmal run defense.

Why is Hawaii's coach not screaming some sense into the hopped-up moron that just committed that ridiculous and dangerous penalty?
