- Still no word on who’s being called up to take Gallagher’s spot on the active roster.
- Isn’t it a little early in the season for the annual Jersey Jack Custs off-day-filler piece? Though I did like this:
- RIP Jack Cardiff. Gawd, do I love Black Narcissus.
- I do not disagree at all with this.
- Leopold Bloom bait: Buck naked � in more ways than one
- Delicate flowers encased in candy-glass
There was no flooring, however. It was all rocks.
“You’d hit a grounder, it would hit a rock and come back and smash you in the face,” Cust said. “That’s how I got a little uppercut in my swing. No groundballs. I didn’t want to get hit in the face.”
That was…an unsatisfying worm.
Roster watch: The ‘Cats are playing in Portland right now. Barton, Doolittle, Pennington, Patterson, Petit, and Denorfia are all in the lineup, but Hannahan isn’t. As Col. Cathcart said, don’t think it means anything, because it doesn’t. Or at least it might not.
Buck, naked – isn’t that Jennifer bait?
Black Narcissus, beautiful film.

Postseason odds
A’s: 34.3%
Pretty smart fella, that Charlie Pierce — I guess the pols just don’t trust The People because they’ve seen who elected them. And maybe they want to keep open their own options for committing egregiously bad behavior.
“Wait, Wait” was already one of my regular weekend pleasures — now it’ll be even better.
Ick. If we start Rajai, Hannahan, Powell, and Sweeney about half of the MLB’s pitchers would be expected to shut us out.

A/V Club interviews BEE
Nothing especially interesting in there, although it’s news to me that someone’s doing an AP musical.
And once again, I must lament that Cronenberg’s AP never came to fruition.
ON THE VERGE!!!
Other unlikely movies I’d like to see turned into tv series: Simon of the Desert, Raising Cain, and Pootie Tang.
OK, ordinarily I’m a bit of a stay-at-home peripatetiphobe, but this makes me really, really want to go to Paris.
When I first saw a trailer for this — in the coming attractions on the Tropic Thunder dvd — I was convinced it was one of the joke trailers.
Gilroy High pitcher tosses perfect game, throwing only 34 pitches!
Game called after five innings on mercy rule, but still, that’s some serious pitching to contact. So he clearly has no future.
1. It seems like the blogs with lots of followers mainly tweet about how many followers they have.
2. Writing for Nonreaders in the Postprint Era:
Sweet, merciful Ba’al:
