Plowed through Portal 1 this weekend -- wow! Such an awesome game. Will probably grab Portal 2 once I'm done with L.A. Noire.

Waiting for L.A. Noire on Tuesday. Until then: Portal a good way to kill a few hours?

We should get an apartment together.

Fixed.

I wonder if the Navy SEALs were wearing yellow bowties.

Michael Moore (via Twitter): FOX News: Elderly Rich Man on Dialysis Killed by Young African-American Male. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

The Beatles - Revolver (or Abbey Road) The Lawrence Arms - The Greatest Story Ever Told Pavement - Wowee Zowee Archers of Loaf - Vs. the Greatest Of All Time (EP) The Replacements - Let It Be

But, really, we all win.

Finally got around to Bioshock -- wow!!! Can't believe I waited 4 years to give it a go. Such an awesome story. Next up: Bioshock 2. Or maybe Fable 3 first.

1. Pick your favorite day of the week. 2. If you picked Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, or Sunday, you're doing it wrong. Repeat Step 1. 3. Incorporate said day of the week into your chorus. Remember: more is more. You may also give a shout out to the day previous the one you picked, as well as the two days that follow, but keep it brief. 4. ??? 5. Profit.

O SNAP, SON!

No-no gone. Well played, Mauer.

Missed out on the PO, so if anyone has an extra let me know. I'm also down to trade if you'd prefer that route.

Now that they're all coming in... anyone got an extra they'd be willing to part with? Missed out on the PO.

K-Rod out for the year due to torn ligament in his thumb... suffered while punching his kids' grandfather. Awesome.

Anyone happen to grab an extra one they'd be willing to part with? Was out of town...

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

When did Leighton start playing keeper for England? (O SNAP!)

The shitty goal really tempered the usual raucous Cup celebration, which is too bad.

Saw them during Mellon Collie.... That was enough.

14 K and 0 BB. Wow.

They should have two for Damon (Type A FA), but wouldn't have received any for Matsui (he missed almost all of 2008, which hurt his ranking). Not sure if they still have the picks though...

I don't have a problem with the whole "compiler" thing -- if you're good enough for long enough, you're going to have gaudier stats. Can't fault someone for having longevity (although Rose was a bit selfish in the way he pursued Cobb). I just think Musial was a freaking beast and was far more dominant during his peak than Rose. If we're just comparing the two (Musial = 22 seasons; Rose = 24): Runs = Rose Hits = Rose 2B = Rose 3B = Musial HR = Musial RBI = Musial SB = Rose BB = Musial SO = Musial TB = Musial BA = Musial OBP = Musial SLG = Musial OPS+ = Musial WAR = Musial MVP = Musial All-Star = Musial World Championships = push Plus there's the Triple Crown Musial barely missed out on in 1948 (he lost the 1 HR he needed to a rainout that was replayed from the start the next day). (Bonus fun fact! Musial had 3,630 career hits -- 1,815 at home and 1,815 in the road.) (Full disclosure: I'm also a Cards fan.)
