I feel bad that I made a grill that was all about me when today is actually all about LB. How’s this for an annoying image: Two things happened on March 4, 1970: 1. A French submarine exploded. 2. Leopold Bloom was born, the offspring of a vicious but sensitive grizzly bear and charming woodland ...

This reminds me of a funny story. Around Christmastime, we took a walk to the mall. salb918 jr2 was about a month old. I put him in the sling, and then I put a big down coat over the salb918/baby assembly. When we got to the mall, I still had the coat on. A woman ...

The A’s play their first intrasquad game today at “12:30 p.m. or so” (can’t you just taste the languorous pace of spring?). I can’t imagine there’s any online play-by-play, but it’s guys we know wearing green and gold playing baseball. So nice. Lineups: Davis lf Pennington ss Chavez 1b Fox 3b Cust dh Gross cf ...

I got nothin to say, really, but we need a new Grill and this seemed right up our, um, alley: 50-year-old Roy Messenger was not seriously hurt after he collided with a power pole Friday and called a relative to pull his car from a ditch.

I’m really looking forward to seeing the new Polanski. LaSalle really liked it (and I enjoyed his review), as did Manohla Dargis. Once again, I’m in exact accord with Drew McWeeny (aside from the fact that I haven’t actually seen the first film): Man, I was taken aback when The LA Times ran a piece ...

Henceforth, FK shall celebrate every February 26 as Jack Cust Day. Slusser. Lee. This is the most awesome part (even better than Cust’s new daughter): Jack Cust will be working with Rickey. Via Fangraphs, Vegas over/unders. Yeah, the Twins look like the only major calculated misperception. sfgate’s spring training photos. Some nice stuff in there ...

Jack Cust is here So awesome (except for the Friday thing) Yglesias draws overbroad conclusions — as Atrios sez, oppo to VT Yankee is rational: it’s a really poorly run facility, with a track record of mendacity I can’t go away, because I’m not even here
