This "humorous" speculation on the Committee's attempts to improve baseball isn't really funny, but I enjoyed this fake quote:
Andy MacPhail: Last year, we fined Jonathan Papelbon, like, six hundred bucks for 320 violations of the unwritten, unspoken keep-things-moving-along rule. That had to hurt.

Old Red Sox Fans...
aren’t so bad. It’s the young ones that bug me. At least the old ones have been through some real frustration. Also, I figure I could take most of the geezers if it came down to it.

Schmuck on Kouzmanoff
He put up good offensive numbers last year
Kouzmanoff’s 2009 OPS+ = 100
Librarians are hiding something
Schmuck
What he sid:
Billy Beane has reportedly stolen Kevin Kouzmanoff from the San Diego Padres for outfielders Scott Hairston and Aaron Cunningham, which has some posters buzzing about another opportunity missed by the Orioles for no apparent reason.
Can’t disagree, though we’ll have to wait and see what Andy MacPhail has to say about the situation. I predicted at the Winter Meetings that Kouzmanoff would be the starting third baseman for the Orioles on Opening Day, and I don’t have a clue why he won’t be after seeing what the A’s gave up to get him.

Dalals-Vikings game
Baber is an idiot. He has a four-yard carry, and then struts and preens like he just scored a TD.

Could use some help
Im making a handout for the fanfest and could use some pictures for it. If anyone has a picture of Matt Wieters, Brian Matusz, or Chris Tillman they could let me use that would be great!
can't you just use google images?
