I now officially pass the torch of Miguel Cabrera's cabana boy over to Banky. I still have Hanley to worship.

Holy shit. It's official. Miggy and Train to the Tigers for Miller/Maybin and 4 prospects. My cabana master is gone. But that's the only rumored deal I actually liked.

Some random things: Best of UFC 2007 is on Spike tonight. It's 3 hours. Probably worth checking out or recording to fast forward through. Ken Flo is filling Randy's spot doing color commentary for the main event this Saturday during Huerta vs. Garcia. Anyone want to set an over/under at how many times Kenny says he finishes fights? I hope he's professional so let's set it at 2? Also, Tito will be back in action in May. The May 3rd card is rumored to potentially be in Mexico and Rampage said in a recent interview that he "loves Mexicans" so he might be on that card as well.

ESPN.com has an article that says that Miguel Cabrera has lost at least 15 pounds this offseason and is 100% focused in being in the best shape of his life next season. Guess the Marlins weren't worth getting in shape for? I can't say I disagree. Ken Rosenthal reported about an hour ago that the Marlins and Tigers are talking a blockbuster deal that would see both Cabrera AND Willis go to the Tigers for Cameron Maybin, Andrew Miller, and other players. I kinda like that one.

Worried that it might be a bit "too stoner" for me, but I'll probably check it out.

Lastings Milledge, Elijah Dukes and Dmitri Young all on the same field. You dead, dawg.

I know it's been said, but he knows too much about baseball to be Kotz.

I was once so in love with Subway's Southwest Sauce that I paid something like $5 to take one of the bottles home.

Oops. Oh man.

Gammons is saying that a Cabrera deal to the Angels would be Howie Kendrick, Jeff Mathis, either Nick Adenhart/Ervin Santana and another prospect. Marlins fans are, in a word, livid. I think this is going to make a lot of people very unhappy if it goes through. Myself included.

Further proof that Chuck is fucking finished. http://mmamania.com/2007/12/03/ufcs-chuck-...h-tony-robbins/

Despite all the turnovers the Giants are only down 2.

It was too much. I ended up prying out about half the salami and giving it to my dog.

Well, that article made it seem like the fight brought out a pre-existing condition and the death was 47 days after the fight. I doubt anyone could make a big deal out of this, even if they desperately wanted to.

The new Wyclef CD is very disappointing. I wish I could say I was surprised.

I had never seen that before and I was expecting worse.

My name is Mike Walsh. I'd probably have to go 30-50 pages to even possibly find something about me amidst the other sea of people with the same name as me.

Sam Stout vs. Spencer Fisher: UFN June 12, 2007 http://www.spikedhumor.com/articles/110565...cer_Fisher.html

I'm not the biggest boxing fan but I caught two episodes of Hatton/Mayweather 24/7. I found myself kind of rooting for Hatton... Does he even hae a chance?

Well Michael definitely will be. One question.... I forget if it was answered. Was anything ever made about Rawls being in the gay bar?

Am I the only person who really likes Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas is You"?

Two years ago Brandon Wood was #2 in Baseball America (or 3... I forget)... Hasn't sniffed the majors and keeps falling backwards. Not looking good.

I feel like I'm the only one who's not in love with the new Stars album. I didn't like it nearly as much as the past two. I think I need to listen to it again.

This is the earliest I have ever thought that UNC was playing at a high level. I think it's a testament to not having a single scholarship freshman. Dickie V. brings up a great point, winning the ACC this year is EXCEPTIONALLY important, because rounds 1-2 can be in Raleigh and the Sweet 16/Elite 8 in Charlotte. That's a trip to the final four, potentially, without leaving a 2 hour radius.

As I am about to embark on re-watching all the seasons, I figured I would start this thread. What we know: Jimmy McNulty the family man is a thing of the past. The media is the over-riding theme of the season. Wood Harris has said we have not seen the last of Avon Barksdale. It premieres January 6th and it's really all we've got with the damn strike going on. What does everyone want to see happen?
