Items of note
Mike D’Antoni said he’d “play Satan himself” if it helped the Knicks win. Donnie Walsh replied that he’d acquire Satan himself if he had an expiring contract. Unfortunately, contracts with Satan never expire.
Craig Calcaterra has an interesting theory about Jason Bay’s mystery bidder. It’s a bit out there, but the dots certainly connect.
Bob Raissman beats a drum I’ve hit myself a few times. Good for him for calling out newspapers, since I assume he means his own.
Buster Olney unironically uses the term “base-clogger” to describe Nick Johnson. The Mets won’t have too much trouble with clogged bases from the bottom of this lineup. Cliff Corcoran drops all sorts of logic while weighing in on the Johnson signing at Bronx Banter.
A breakthrough led to “a high level of serious hysteria” at a theoretical physics workshop. I have to imagine that looked at least a little bit like this:
“Good heavens, Miss Sakamoto! You’re beautiful!”
