And then: That team that spent $50 million more than any other team, that team with three sure Hall of Famers and as many as four others, that team that bought Milwaukee's best pitcher and Anaheim's best hitter and Toronto's No. 2 starter and Boston's favorite Idiot and the most expensive player in the history of baseball and so on, that team will win the World Series, and spray champagne on each other, and they will tell you that they won because they came together as a group and kept pulling themselves off the ground and didn't listen to the doubters.
And then, if you are a not a Yankees fan, you will want to throw up. If you are not a Yankees fan, you are left hoping that next year the randomness of a short playoff series will get the Yankees and allow some other team to win so we can celebrate the hope of Opening Day. And that's baseball.

BYU vs NMU in women's soccer. Oh, the humanity.
[This might serve as a weekend EPL thread as well, I suppose.]

As I think most people predicted, the Rangers are primarily targeting a right-handed bat this off-season. But I think some of the quotes are pretty funny. Namely:

"'I would say we're looking for a middle-of-the-order bat,' Daniels said."

Followed by:

"Other right-handed bats on the free-agent market that could be of interest to the Rangers include Vladimir Guerrero, Gary Sheffield, Troy Glaus and Fernando Tatis."

Awesome. The Rangers finally feel they have most of the pieces necessary to contend. What they really lack is a true "middle-of-the-order" bat like Fernando Tatis, or a quickly declining Sheffield/Dye. Not that Tatis (for instance) would be a bad guy to add to the bench. But, surely this organization doesn't view Sheffield, Tatis, or Glaus as the kind of final piece necessary to put them over the top.

I really hope Daniels and company have their sights set a little higher when it comes to improving this ball club over the winter. Otherwise, we might be in for 2005 redux.

Just a reminder to all you prospect freaks out there like me. Strasburg is starting, and hopefully we'll get a look at our guys too. I'm excited!!!

Further proof that Vicente's one of the greatest minds of our generation.

Another report
says he was shot by his bodyguard, which would be delightfully ironic.

Hat-tip to Jorge Arangure.
