Scott Hairston is why Sandy Alderson is a good GM

by Ted Berg on August 3rd, 2011 at 4:43 pm

Eno Sarris takes time away from bashing Ruben Tejada to praise SABR-savior Sandy Alderson. All snark aside, a series of good points here. With role players it’s always hard to tell how much was shrewd general-managing and how much was luck, but Alderson seems to have optimized the 25-man roster this year.

Mets fans shockingly civil to Zack Wheeler

But as the son of a Nassau Community College professor dealing with the fallout from rampant budget cuts, I find it hard to get too broken up about the fate of a woefully mismanaged hockey team that can’t draw well in such a densely populated area.

Naked Alex Trebek will hunt you down like a dog

by Ted Berg on July 28th, 2011 at 3:54 pm

A burglar broke into Alex Trebek’s hotel room while he was sleeping in the buff, so he took matters into his own hands. Unfortunately, he ruptured his Achilles. This time.
