Vegas Watch

Forgot about this one last week. Gary Thorne actually thinks Jose Canseco is the Yankees' first baseman. He manages to make Steve Phillips look competent in this clip.

I like Vegas Watch's pairing in the "Suckiest Sports Blog" tournament. I'm pretty confident this blog is worse than We Are The Postmen, and thus will advance.

Continuing the series, a look at how SEC basketball is shaping up in 2009.

And that happened.

The dimensions at the L.A. Coliseum were pretty nuts.

I really can't get enough of the Meat Hook.

Actually, Jeff Brantley, Edwin Encarnacion is quite clutch.

PTI pulled a pretty good April Fools joke. The high five could use some work though.

A very interesting Bill James Q&A over at Freakonomics. A sampling:

Q: Has looking at the numbers prevented you from actually just enjoying a summer day at the ballpark? Have we all forgotten the randomness of human ballplayers? By reducing players to just their numbers can we lose sight of the intangibles such as teamwork, friendships, and desire.

A: Does looking at pretty women prevent one from experiencing love? Life is complicated. Your efforts to compartmentalize it are lame and useless.

Find me someone who tells stories better than Joe Posnanski. Please.

Rehab has really changed Yao.
