The Hopp Stop

Nice breakdown of Verlander's season that goes beyond W/L and ERA.

I'm holding off for now, would rather have my third-party apps.

Guillen's agreed to switch to 1B. Cool, hopefully they'll get a decent bat at SS. Bye bye Mr. Mayor Casey.

One of the two virtualization solutions on the Mac that let you run Windows as a program within the Mac OS. I've tried both this and Parallels (competitor) and prefer Fusion. Very slick.

4 days of tiebreaker games after the regular season are possible. Crazy.

Good post from the Daring Fireball guy.

Interesting to see. Lakefront cabin on South Lake Tahoe!

Hilarious to me that the article makes it sound like the Hall of Fame is a participant in the branding process. "Hall of Fame officials and Ecko are discussing how to affix the asterisk on the ball."

Interesting take on the Marion trade demand by the TrueHoop blogger.

Videos from the 1997 Penn State game, including a great pre-game analysis with Bo and the game highlights. Brings back great memories of watching the game with Siedel at the Old Pro.

Thank you, Onion. Note that this weekon iTunes there will be a short film related to Darjeeling available for free.

Comedy. Check out the video tribute someone made for ESPN sideline reporter Erin Andrews. Best part is the song.

Maybe some of you saw this before, but noted shithead Milton Bradley blew it his knee in the course of yelling at an ump. Right before the playoffs begin. Nice!

Ha, scroll to the bottom for Russell Crowe joining Lloyd Carr at the Notre Dame game post-game press conference. Still can't believe they are buddies.

I've downloaded two albums from this today. Nice to see some competition for the iTunes store, at better prices.

This post also includes a track list. Looks fresh. Can't wait to play a little Poison. Talk dirty to me! Ow! Yeah!

Big difference in prospects for top-tier law school graduates versus grads of less prestigious firms.

I'll have to cancel my hit on Lee Corso--he has Mike Hart at the top of his current Heisman list. Of course, his opinion is worthless, but still.

After a couple listens, sounds pretty good. Worth checking out if you Broken Social Scene.

Depressing article. Thanks to Gristobal for the link.
