My brain says that, as a fan of another Big East basketball team, I should actually be rooting for Syracuse in non-conference matchups with ranked opponents. After all, more respect for the conference should mean more NCAA berths. My heart says screw that, and that Syracuse should burn in hell.
With one Cy Young Award already on his shelf, Tim Lincecum can go about fashioning a bong out of his second.
Chicago’s year-long nightmare is over.
Talk about a sell-Lowe deal! Am I right?
First off, the poll there is hilarious: Would you trade for Derek Lowe? A) Absolutely, B) No way. There is no gray area, and terms of the deal are immaterial. It’s not “Would you trade Milton Bradley for Derek Lowe?” (yes) or “Would you trade a really good sandwich for Derek Lowe” (not unless the Braves ate a huge part of his contract along with my sandwich).
Also, it’s funny how the Derek Lowe vs. Ollie Perez free-agent debate from last season worked out. Lose-lose so far. At the Perpetual Post, Howard Megdal and Chris Pummer discussed which pitcher is a better bet moving forward. Howard won’t give up on Ollie until someone pries his baseball-reference sponsorship from his cold, dead hands.
For no reason at all, here’s some guy’s video for Ween’s The Mollusk:

That video’s rad. Legos make many things better. It also doesn’t hurt that ‘The Mollusk’ is one of my favorite Ween albums.
Second best to Chocolate and Cheese, IMO.
Yeah, I go Chocolate and Cheese, The Mollusk and 12 Golden Country Greats.
You, sir, have fine taste in Ween albums.
The Ollie/Lowe debate is one that will go on forever. The only reason people still think the Mets should have signed Lowe is b/c Ollie turned into such a disaster. If you examine the Lowe deal on its own, and take it out of the “lowe vs Ollie” context, its a no brainer, the Lowe signied was a bust.
I also saw a completely random tidbit on the scroll on CBS news this morning. Apparently there is a nationwide shortage of Eggo waffles right now that could possibly last until mid 2010. I admittedly dont eat these things much any more mostly b/c of time, but had this happened when I was 9 years old, it could have been devastating.

I’m pretty sure that’s not Lincecum, but in fact, Mitch Kramer. Heard he’ll be hanging out at the moon tower tonight with Randall and Slater.
