Surely Valentines Day deserves a new thread. Here’s monkeyball demonstrating Olympic-class disinterest: And here’s how I feel about all of you: "Kraut will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no kraut."

Guess who got his computer back today. Guess who’s spending his fat ass in the sign shop today to get you your free swag. Guess who’s the man with a golden voice that can make all the ladies swoon. Aw yeah. I’ve chosen the most aggressive and confrontational to place on my back bumper simply ...

Zips Projections for the A’s 97

out here Few semi-noteworthy things: -Zips has Rajai as a much better hitter than Crisp. -Not enthusiastic about Fox (league average, as here, strikes me as more likely than +7 for him.) -Bad projections for all the pitchers. I don’t usually look at the comps, but these were lots of fun, e.g.: Cust: Chili Davis. ...

WE’RE ALL GONNA DYNAMIC PRICING!!! (I agree with the general tenor of this takedown, but I think the “it’s good for all of us because the Invisible Hand will stroke the large and the small alike” nonsense is … nonsense. Teams aren’t under any obligation, moral or economic, to lower prices elsewhere, and I don’t ...

Amerigasm! Sarah Palin is a fucking retard! No, she’s Eva Peron! No, she’s Nixon + Pat Buchanan! (Actually, I think that last one’s a grave insult to Nixon. Really, she’s basically Reagan with tits. Plus Nixon’s mean/paranoid streak.) Ben Nelson looks like Jabba the Hutt with a rug Via Calcaterra, yeah, George Foster really is ...

As posted previously, I like the paired entry of identical twin cattle dogs Fava and Garbanzo to win the Puppy Bowl. Which airs from noon to 2:00 PM PST, and on continuous loop thereafter until I start channeling Iggy Pop. If you like a longshot, Tater Tot (Basset hound mix) might be the dog to ...
