From Jon Heyman at SI.com:
Giants. [Johnny] Damon is a target. And [Jason] Bay makes sense, even from a marketing standpoint in that area.

Heyman has a more realistic...

This clip has a special meaning to me for two reasons:
1. HALL AND F'ING OATES!
2. A few of the Sons and myself used Hall & Oates as our defacto theme music during a couple of LEGEN - wait for it - DARY baseball road trips. Along with this gem...

It's not too late to sign up for the first (and possibly last) off-season competition of 2009! Remember, untold amounts of sweat were sweated to earn you the right to play this game (i.e., your 3D Tic-Tac-Toe victory), so use that right.
Here's how the teams/participants stack...

Hey, actual baseball news! From Bill Shaikin at the LA Times:
Even with starting pitching as their most pressing need, the Dodgers do not plan to pursue John Lackey, the best starter available in free agency. [...]
[Dodgers president Dennis] Mannion would not say what the Dodgers...
Great Movies I Saw Once and Never Want to See Again

Schindler's List
Saving Private Ryan
Oldboy
and
Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire
Seeing each of these movies was the emotional equivalent of getting kicked in the gut for two hours, but I'm glad I saw them. I just don't think I could handle a second viewing.

Don't be distracted by the graphic. Focus. Because the following text is of grave importance.
Do you meet the requirements in fine print below? If so, it's time to quit waffling and state your allegiance. Flo or Deltalina. There is no "either." There is no "...

That's right, Pablo Sandoval has allegedly reported to Spring Training early, in an effort to shed some of those unsightly extra pounds:
Sandoval, you see, already started spring training 2010 at the Giants' complex in Scottsdale, Ariz. on Nov. 1. He was roughly 3 1/2 months...

After checking the videotape, the officials decided to give the game to the Readers. So congratulations Readers on once more hammering the Writers into submission on our home turf. And to add insult to injury, you needed only two dimensions to beat us:

Dude, what happened? Who knocked over the frickin' game board?!? Quad? Rbn? Mr C? I knew we should have cut off the alcohol after Round 5.
(shakes head in frustration)
Ughh. Alright, I guess we have to start over. Give me a minute to reset the board. Dammit.

I imagine you're feeling pretty good about your position, Readers. But are you sure you aren't just stepping into a trap, like a Polish burlesque dancer stepping into a trap? And remember what they say: overconfidence is the hobgoblin of Tic-Tac-Toe victories. Which I think...

From the LA Times' Letters section:
My 11-year-old son Jacob just told me what he wants for the holidays this year. He asked me for about 100 blank DVDs. "What in the world are you planning to do with them," I asked. "I want to record every televised game Vin Scully...

Dammit, who came up with the blasted alternating levels rule?
So it seems the Readers got the move they wanted, in a landslide no less. And they do seem to be in an advantageous position. But We the Writers are known for our resiliency, so I'm hopeful we'll come up with something...
October Is For Costumes; November, Not So Much

I can't tell which story is more pathetic, about men gone bad while wearing costumes, as well as the nearby doppelgangers that appear to spawn. Exhibit A, from London, tells of a gun-toting Teletubby that robs a woman, as well as the police who show up and question a different...

Saved by the Bell!
And by 'Bell', I mean democracy and the fine print rules.
Here's how Round 6 broke down: The Readers collectively voted IV-A-1, which I can only guess was the unintended result of the vote being split between IV-A-2 and IV-D-1. Regardless of why, space...

In a surprisingly close battle, Flo from Progressive Insurance beat Deltalina from Delta Airlines. But let's keep it real and take another look at Flo and Deltalina out of costume and behind the scenes, so to speak.
First, Flo:
