http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/wire?sectio...&id=2656988 I think the odds of Glavine being a Met next year are pretty slim. With the player option being $7.5 million and the team option being $14 million, a compromise would probably end up in the $10-12 million range. I'm almost positive Minaya and Co. would rather throw that kinda money at Zito or possibly Matsuzaka.

Disregard. Misread above story.

I'm waiting with baited breath for Sheffield's reaction.

Hell of a game. Now anyone with any brains in their head needs to leave that stadium immediately.

God, I hope someone does. This city would be insufferable in the days leading up to that game.

That's pretty interesting. I don't know how much interest the Mets have in an outfielder (whether or not they trust Chavez with a starting job is yet to be seen), but if they are, there's plenty of talent out there with the likes of Carlos Lee and J.D. Drew on the market.

Cashman already said that the Yankees are losing money. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2557770 That's misleading. I have no doubt that the Yankees as a team might not be turning a profit, but with the revenue they get from merchandise, the YES network, and other areas, I don't believe for a second that the organization as a whole isn't making money.

I'm not thrilled with the D'Backs' new jerseys (posted earlier in this thread) but I like the new logo (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/photo;_ylt=Aiz...105&prov=ap) quite a bit.

That wouldn't surprise me, as I've heard that the respective teams had soured somewhat on Matsuzaka after the initial excitement. I'm almost positive that the Mets have made a bid, but I doubt they'll win. I don't think Minaya's enamored enough with the guy to throw all sorts of money at him.

Kirby's Adventure is one of my favorite games ever. Not buying it since I still have the original NES cart, but still, pretty cool to see.

The ban's been in effect in Columbus for a year now, and though there are several defiant bars, it's been a very popular measure. 'Course, that's not concrete evidence that it'll be popular statewide, but I seriously doubt they'll be any serious public anger over the measure should it pass.

Thank God. Things in general are looking good out here. We're going to get a Democratic Governor and as many as four new Democratic Represenatives/Senators. What's more, the minimum wage is probably going to be raised, gambling will more than likely be legalized in certain locations (for the purpose of educational funds), and smoking will be banned indoors throughout the state. So far, so good.

I saw the preview for Fast Food Nation before Borat! As a huge fan of the book, I'm kinda disappointed that it's (apparently) a fictionalization that's simply based on Fast Food Nation and not a direct translation. Still, looks pretty cool, kinda like a Thank You For Smoking for the fast food industry. I'm really excited for Casino Royale and Tenacious D as well.

I really wish 'Bama would have been booted off instead of David and Mary. Neither team is/was particularly strong, but at least it was entertaining to watch Mary react to every new locale with wide-eyed amazement and wonder. The Blondes are slowly but surely growing on me, while the supremely arrogant alliance of Rob/Kimberly and Tyler/James is getting on my nerves. I've never seen someone complete a Fast Forward yet not finish in first.

If you thought Okami's introduction was bad, you probably won't even be able to get through KH2's.

Not that the Jets deserve to win today or anything, but I am completely stunned that they won't even consider taking a look a that final play.

Thanks in part to my picking the Cardinals to win the World Series, I finished second in Baseball Prospectus' Predicatron. $500 would have been pretty nice, but the accomplishment and the year's subscription (especially since mine had lapsed) is pretty cool regardless. I'd have put this in the Comments That Don't Warrant a Thread thread if I didn't have to bump it from the dead to do so.

Are you guys looking out for Wii kiosks? I was under the impression that they'd be in stores this week, but no such luck thus far.

No, but they are the ones having the best time with it. HITTO!

Unfortunately, yeah. http://kotaku.com/search/clover

Took me long enough, but I finally beat this today. What a fantastic title. The best game I've played since RE4. There were a few really annoying aspects, sure ( ), but overall, just an amazing game. A fine eulogy for Clover.

Nice, I won't have to go to the sports bar this week for the Jets game (probably). It will be...interesting dealing with Browns fans all week at work/school, though. There are a few great matchups this week. Atlanta/Cincinnati, Baltimore/New Orleans, St. Louis/San Diego, Indianapolis/Denver, and New England/Minnesota should all be really good.

What the fuck is Sony's obessesion with screwing over European consumers in every way possible? I can't believe they'd resort to suing Lik-Sang (and eventually putting them out of business) just to prevent Europeans from getting their hands on a PS3 a little earlier than they would have otherwise. Man, fuck Sony.

That was not well done. Terrible throw to go with a terrible decision.
