Hey kids, diamonds in the snow sparkle.
- WHY is Royals pitcher Kyle Davies spending his offseason building McDonalds franchises with his pops instead of honing his goddamn craft? That 5.65 K/9 ratio isn't going to improve itself, dummy.
- HOW coincidental is it that the Cardinals signed a Japanese pitcher who lost his job in Japan because of a drunk-driving incident? Katsuhiko Maekawa will feel right at home with Tony LaRussa.
- ISN'T the new Marlins Stadium website totally useless since the place isn't going to open for at least forty months?
- WHAT does it say about me that all my favorite Christmas songs are kinda sorta downers?
That's it for this week, folks, although we might pop up sometime this weekend if anything happens in the Mark Teixeira Sweepstakes. We'll be live next Monday and Tuesday but then taking an extended holiday break from December 24th through January 4th. After we get back: 2009 Season Previews! In some format yet to be decided! Have a good weekend and we'll see you Monday.

5.65 K/IP? That's amazing. He must get a lot of KWP's and KPB's
Haha. Whoopsie-doodle!
Commenting was borkened before but should be fixed now.
I was unable to post my warning for CTC:

His blood may be on your hands, Iracane. As well as the floor, the walls, the windows, the ceiling...
I decided against posting that story. Dude's crazy.
One of my favorite Christmas songs is "Fairytale of New York" by The Pogues.
This will apply to any Christmas song that references an "old slut on junk."
Second that motion, Colonel.
Unfortunately Colonel political correctness dictates that "You're an old slut on junk" "You cheap lousy faggot" and "Merry Christmas you arse", you arse has been rather crappily dubbed to K.Mccoll saying "Merry Christmas you Irish"
Very sad.
Dictates that the song is edited i mean. Didn't really make sense did it?
Rinku and Dinesh are going to be on outside the lines tomorrow at 9.
Sea Otters are cuter than a thousand lobster babies.
Thanks for the heads up, Matt!
I gort your headsup right here, Rob:
Jack in the Crack 2tacos for 99cents is still the best deal you will ever get no matter what.
6000 sq ft house for 100 bucks? Big deal, I got to tacos for 99cents. CC Sabathia and AJ BUrnett for $400 million? Big deal, I got 2 tacos for 99cents.
