A long time ago my friend Jake and I cast the Taco Bell Wiki, linked here, into the Internet ether, assuming the world would appreciate our idea as much as we did and the Taco Bell Wiki would be edited appropriately. Instead, some jackass vandalized the Taco Bell Wiki — in a completely humorless manner, I should add — and defiled a photo of humanitarian and taco innovator Glen Bell. Today Jake reported that some heroic soul has fixed the Wiki and began editing it again. It’s now got 95 pages and counting.

Metsimistic: My Letter to the Mets
Good read from Chris McShane. I hope and assume this is a case of one rogue, power-tripping security guard and not any sort of organizational policy.
Eclectic New York baseball bobbleheads
Mark Simon from ESPN New York solicits ideas from area baseball minds for eclectic New York baseball bobbleheads. Yours truly makes an appearance.
Scratchbomb: Things I learned from the Tenth Inning
Good writeup from Matthew Callan on Ken Burns’ much-ballyhooed addition to Baseball. I haven’t watched it and don’t really plan to. That might sound ignorant, but I was around to formulate my own opinions on everything covered in the film and I’m not sure I want my memories colored by this interpretation.
ALERT: Jimmy Rollins buys rights to Justin Bieber song
I don’t even know what to say.
Secret restaurant menus revealed
I think some of this is B.S., but some of it is interesting — most notably the Barnyard from Wendy’s. The Wendy’s near my house is a particularly excellent one, and maybe they traffic in that type of decadence. Also my buddy used to work at a Friday’s and they had all sorts of stuff in their computer that they could make for you that wasn’t on the menu. Problem was it all tasted like everything else from Friday’s. Link courtesy Eno Sarris, who keeps coming up today.
Q&A with Kevin Goldstein on Mets prospects
Baseball Prospectus’ prospects expert stops by MetsMinorLeagueBlog.com for a quick chat with Mike Diaz. Good stuff.
RBI Baseball, when Vince Coleman was fat and white
Good writeup from Jon Bois at SB Nation looking back at the Nintendo classic. I never played as much RBI Baseball as I did Bases Loaded and especially Baseball Stars — I played a TON of Baseball Stars, since it was the first Nintendo game I knew of where you could actually create players and manage rosters and stuff like that. How come only that game could save data?
Somewhere, H.G. Wells nods knowingly
Well this just smacks of dystopian future. The driverless underground electric car thing is obviously awesome, but the “all the service below ground, utopia above it thing” really seems like a good first step toward Eloi and Morlocks.
Salfino previews Jets-Dolphins
SNY.tv’s Mike Salfino is very bullish on the Jets’ chances against Miami on Sunday night.
