The current ESPN.com poll question (3/2 - 11:16 PM EST) is "What is your favorite sport?" NFL is winning every state and overall is at 57%. Baseball is easily in second with around 27% and the NBA is down around 10%. Exactly what I figured.

Would the others trust Locke? I'm not so sure. I think they realize HE's the one THEY need to worry about.

I was pretty worried that Kevin wasn't going to make it, but thankfully America was using their brain last night and kept him in the competition.

He's signed up for this year. Take that however you want to.

Let me ask you a question: If I had to make you guess what type of contract extention Randy Winn just signed, what would you guess? 2 yrs/7 mil? 3 yrs/10 mil? How about 3 years/23.25 mil? Yikes.

Well...we're gonna find out what happened to Claire tonight. Percentage we're all saying WTF at the end of the night? I'm gonna shoot it at around 65%.

I know it goes against half the reason I watch the show in the first place, but I look forward to the guys weeks more than the girls. They're just the better singers! But man, Kellie Pickler has a nice ass.

That's a little bit of a stretch. The NCAA game was licensed as such out of necessity, rather than any growing popularity for college baseball. EA Sports needed to have some kind of a license on their baseball game, which was already into development, but the MLB license exclusivity had already been snatched up by another competing company. The MVP series was too successful for EA to completely close up shop for a year, so they slapped the NCAA trademark on it and ran. Well, obviously it won't have the mainstream appeal of the MLB game. I hang out in some circles where we all take minor league and college baseball a little too seriously and I know people who were practically willing to camp out for this thing. Some people just love college baseball. As for the original post - the guy who said those things was an idiot. I don't think a further rational explanation is needed. If I had to guess, I would state that baseball is the overall #2 sport in the United States behind the NFL. #2 for white people, #3 for black people (NBA) and #1 for latinos, who also happen to represent the largest growing section of America. I honestly think baseball will be be #1 again in 20 years.

Great episode tonight. Just really outstanding. After Jack discovered the bomb..."How could I be so stupid?" Yet he recovered in time to move everything in the room to block the door and hide under the floor. All in under a minute. JACK BAUER. I had high hopes for tonight and I wasn't let down.

So, now that Claire goes back to a DHARMA bunker and she says that the "baby is sick now..." Can we assume that Ethan was with DHARMA and not the Others? That's what I'm thinking at this point. Obviously we'll find out more on Wednesday.

Bo lost to Carrie in last year's final by only 134 votes? I don't know if I believe that.

All I can say after reading that is that Christopher Hendersen must be a true badass. There's a reason Jack flinches upon hearing his name. That preview actually looks exciting.

I like the song that opens the album, High. I'm prepared to deal with the ramifications of admitting that.

Maybin has played as many innings as the #2 overall prospect - Justin Upton. Jim Callis also called J. Upton the next Ken Griffey Jr. in a chat today. Big shoes to fill. At least he plays good D, unlike his brother.

List Big shocker at #2. 7 Marlins in the top 100. 9 Dodgers! And 5 D-Backs in the top 30. Some strong systems out there.

Guys, Becky and her twin sister posed as models in Maxim a few years ago. Surprisingly, Maxim has resurrected the pictures now that she's on American Idol. I can't get the Maxim website to load at the moment to provide a link, but they're there.

Ace is going FAR, that's a fact. I voted four times for Kevin today, just because I wish he was my little brother or little cousin. I always pick the underdog, if you've been following these threads every year. I hate Taylor, sorry. He just annoys me with his borderline retarded act.

Don't some drunks need a ride on your little scooter, queer?

KEVIN!

Everybody get their dialing fingers ready for tomorrow. Kevin Covais needs your support!!

Well - I got the CD at Best Buy today. Good songs I hadn't previously heard: Mardy Bum and A Certain Romance. I've decided that I like this band, but I probably wouldn't if they were hyped up beyond belief, so I'm glad I'm in the US and no one knows who they are.

I'm just hoping to see the Marlins ONCE this year. They are in Philly in late July for a weekend series, that might be the ticket. Baseball America Prospect Handbook released today for those who are interested. Well worth the $$.

I'm sure you all remember my Scott Savol love from last year. Well, I'm already on the Kevin Covais bandwagon. Dude is getting all kinds of votes from me, no matter how bad he sucks. LOOK AT HIM.

That list is vastly different than the list you're going to see from Baseball America, starting tomorrow (I think) and lasting all week. Vastly different.

Shit, I buy them. A) I'm lazy - they download from iTunes in seconds B) I'm a Mac freak C) Ever since I got a notice from my ISP from downloading an episode of Entourage, I'm a little freaked out about this stuff.
