'Cheap' Orioles won't be for much longer - MASNsports.com
Steve Melewski reminds us that while the O's have a ton of young, cheap talent now - Brad Bergesen, Brian Matusz, Chris Tillman, Adam Jones, Nolan Reimold, Matt Wieters, Felix Pie and Jim Johnson will cost a COMBINED $5 million next year - that talent won't stay cheap when they hit arbitration. -duck

The Orioles made a one-year offer to Erik Bedard and later came back with a revision that put them in line with the Mariners' reported proposal, but the left-hander apparently prefers to stay in Seattle. Speculated reasons among industry types include a bigger ballpark, competing in the AL West and pitching for a team with a better chance to contend in 2010. Advantage: Seattle. -zk

Alice Cooper: Well, I'm a regular visitor here, but Milwaukee has certainly had its share of visitors. The French missionaries and explorers began visiting here in the late 16th century.
Pete: Hey, isn't "Milwaukee" an Indian name?
Alice Cooper: Yes, Pete, it is. In fact , it's pronounced "mill-e-wah-que" which is Algonquin for "Open Thread."
Wayne Campbell: I was not aware of that.

This is so odd...
I havent gotten a single flake up here in north Jersey. My buddy in central Jersey already has half a foot at least. Usually we get screwed with all the snow. I’m not used to this.
Like 15 inches so far in Philly
Didnt start here until like 8 last night, so we’re supposed to get at least another 6 inches through by tonight.
We've got 20 inches or more in MoCo, hard to tell exactly.

But seriously, I can’t open my front door. There’s 2 feet of now blocking it. I can’t see any of the 3 cars in my driveway — and one of them is an SUV. They are completely obliterated.

We have a family friend who’s staying with us. He lives in upstate New York, and when they canceled school on Wednesday he flipped out. “THIS IS SNOW? ARE YOU KIDDING?”
He approved of this storm, though.

Fernando Torres.
Soccer player, Liverpool FC. He’s my favorite player, even though Liverpool sucks this year and he’s been injured.
Also, Spain is my favorite National team and he’s a starter.
hey!
I follow Liverpool as well.

They really are doing badly. I hate Arsenal, Chelsea, and Man U
but I think I’m rooting for Arsenal in that race.

I think I might finally be turning against Rafa
You pin a lot of the problems on Gillett and Hicks, but he’s done a really poor job with the resources that have been made available to him.
Yes, but there's been a lot of injuries.
Especially to Torres and Gerrard. And losing Alonso was a big blow. Gillett and Hicks have seriously dug Liverpool into a hole. There’s even rumors of Torres being transferred, which would be really bad.
I agree, though. I’ve had faith in Rafa for a long time—and I think other fans did, too—but eventually you have to lay the blame somewhere other than the owners. It starts with him. Good managers make do with what they have and they win. I hope they sell the team to someone who can sign good players, but is there news of any potential buyers?

Pics!
I just finished my first round of shoveling. I figure start when there’s two feet instead of waiting until there is three. Also the family that lives next door to me has been SCREAMING at each other all morning and while I was out shoveling one of them stormed out while another said “Where are you gonna go? It’s a fucking blizzard!” and this chick just kept walking and got all the way to the street (which takes awhile when you’re walking through two feet of snow), stopped, turned around and came back while the other girl (her sister I think?) laughed at her.

How weird is this winter?
We’ve now had two “top 10” snowstorms in the same winter. Though this one isn’t going to be “biggest snow ever” by the official measurement at BWI (it’ll probably be #2, from what I’m reading), it sure feels like more snow is outside my house than 2003.
I went out at 1am and cleared away 10-12 inches because I was restless and wanted to do something productive and you can’t tell I did anything.

My next door neighbor and her brother shoveled snow around the neighborhood after the 09 blizzard.
They apparently made $250. First of all, this guy was an adult, and adults seem to be more sympathetic to teenagers, in that they give them more money. I don’t think they charged $50 for each driveway. Maybe the guy could take a page out of their book and think, if I charge less more people will pay me, so eventually it will add up. But no, instead he charges a lot and won’t get any business.
The thing about our neighborhood is there aren’t that many teenagers so there is more demand for snow shoveling and babysitting. I’m pretty much the neighborhood babysitter, which is nice.

Brad Pitt discussion redux: Welp, I just knocked off Inglorious Basterds-- and BP's list of good performances remains stuck at 2
What was the feeble attempt at a corn-pone accent supposed to show? For a while I thought we were s’posed to get that it was intentionally bad— like you’re s’posed to get the Aldo Raine/Aldo Ray thing — but in the credits there’s a listing for “Mr. Pitt’s dialect coach” — or is that another joke?
Anyway, I can imagine about 3 dozen people playing this lead interestingly, but BP is no. 37. Basically, he’s a distraction. The film itself is, well, what QT does: larger than life storytelling (by a fur piece) while furiously coloring outside the lines of whatever genre comes to hand. You can’t stop watching it, and you can’t stop asking yourself Whaaaa…? much of the time, either. Often it’s an awed Whaaa…?, but often enough it’s a just plain Whaaa…?, too.
"Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning." Churchill,1942-- a rebuilding year.
Yeah...
…I had a very similar reaction to Brad Pitt.
I also found it mildly offensive that a guy like Quentin Tarantino was giving us his three year old’s take on an alternative history through a Jewish revenge movie. The guy does many things well, but important historical and social events are not on that list. Lastly, I am sick and tired of QT’s nerd obsessions in his fucking movies. Can we not have the hot chick who happens to own her own big ass cinema palace in Paris for once? Can we not have the shootout standoff for the 374th time?
This just in: And here's today's GOOD news on QT:
From http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000233/bio:
“Two of Tarantino’s favorite films are ‘Manos’ the Hands of Fate (1966) (which he owns a 35mm copy of) and Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan (1982), which he references in Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003).”
“Manos”, of course, is the consensus All-Time Best MST3K installment (according to Joel, who would know).
