I had a great idea for a Decade in Review list. It was going to be: “The Decade’s 10 Dumbest Decade In Review Lists.”
I was going to put the list itself sixth or seventh, because I’m meta like that. But I ran out of steam about two deep, because I got really bored scouring the [...]

I promised hdarvick I’d post something about Nelson Figueroa yesterday and failed, but here’s something.
Conventional wisdom says that Nelson Figueroa should not be allowed to pitch more than a certain limited number of innings in any given Major League stint before he’s exposed and big-league hitters figure out his stuff, but I’ve never been much [...]

The wife was out last night and Death Race was on Cinemax. So that’s what this is about.
Jason Statham is awesome. He perpetually looks like he’s about to kick someone’s ass, even in scenes when he’s tenderly romancing his wife in the kitchen and such.
In fact, it feels like just about every Jason Statham movie [...]

Chad Ochocinco gave what Dan Graziano called “what may have been the greatest midweek opposing player conference call in NFL history” yesterday.
Sam Borden explains why the “pending physical” bit actually means something in the Jason Bay signing.
David Waldstein at the Times writes the definitive Jason Bay reaction piece, remembering previous Canadian Mets and investigating whether [...]

Rob Neyer’s usually spot-on, but I think he misses the mark a bit in his remarks on Jeff Passan’s recent rip-job of the Mets’ front office. Neyer and Passan agree that the Jason Bay signing, to paraphrase Neyer’s headline “continues a disturbing pattern.”
If you read this site or my columns with any regularity, you know [...]

Today’s From the Wikipedia comes upon request by multiple readers, but does not aim to make light of the numerous deaths — at least six, according to the Wikipedia — that occurred at the theme park in question.
It does very much aim to make light of the horrible, horrible planning that led to said deaths, [...]

With rumors swirling about the Mets’ pursuit of free-agent catcher Bengie Molina, I thought I’d touch base with my friend Dailey, a San Francisco Giants fan, for a very formal and professional interview. Dailey has a first name, I believe, but I am not entirely sure what it is, so I am crediting him here [...]

‘Tis the season for stupid headline puns. Mike Francesa broke news that the Mets agreed to a deal with Jason Bay yesterday, and now everyone’s weighing in.
I’d still really like to reserve judgment until we know more, though. Specifically: the terms of the deal. By all accounts, it’s worth about four years and in the [...]

I’ve already said my piece on Mike Pelfrey and the illusory nature of his supposed regression in 2009, but Howard Megdal passed out an interesting factoid via email that I figured I’d, in turn, pass along:
One of the actual knocks against Pelfrey from 2009 could be that his walk rate ticked up a tiny bit, [...]

Pam Anderson can focus on making movies with Tommy Lee, David Hasselhoff can get drunk and eat cheeseburgers, and Yasmine Bleeth can disappear into obscurity: Bay Watch is over. I’ll have more in a bit, but for now, enjoy what Sam Page and Keith Law have to say.
Darrelle Revis and Chad Ochocinco’s Twitter war is [...]
