it's not Yugiho, dammit!

Here's the first of a 6 part series on how to play Magic, the Gathering. As the Big Man is off to Baltimore, to pimp his 16 year old BFF in the National Tournament, I thought it would be appropriate.

Also, here's the Big Man's strategic deck (enititled "Vial of Goblins"--I kid you not). Just wait until he shows all of Baltimore his Goblin Pyromancer---they will tremble in awe.

Minor League baseball rules

Deadspin's weekly report on the many great Minor League baseball promotional nights and mascots is a great read. This one brings you a pretty creepy squirrel, a bobble-belly "El Guapo" and a great Office Space theme-night.

• Case Of The Mondays. Monday, July 30. Brevard County Manatees (Class-A Florida State League). In what I believe to be a stroke of pure genius, every Monday at Space Coast Stadium is Case Of The Mondays, in which one lucky fan wins not only a case of delicious Coca-Cola, but also treasured items from the film Office Space. Included will be a miniature red Swingline Stapler, an Initech Coffee Mug, a 'PC Load Letter' sticker for your office's printer, some 'flair' and other stuff. So if you could just go ahead and come on down to the park on Monday, that would be greeaaat

a completely not ok way to celebrate a homerun

This is not allowed. Not even if you and your favorite teammate happen to be wearing matching green socks and mesh shorts.

also, I'm loving youtube's knew easy "post to blog" function. now you all can enjoy the stupid stuff I find. hooray for free time.

*** Update***

Thanks to 10 for letting me know the old video got pulled. here's the clip again. There's also a longer clip of the same "highlight" with audio clips from Borat at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9shwANgY5IY

yes my thumb got hit by the ceiling fan, but it was worth it

this video basically replays the Wii boxing match between K-Man and myself.

best post-ejection tantrum ever?

I saw this video on CNN--terriffic tantrum from the manager of the Mississippi Braves, Phillip Wellman. I've seen managers take the bases before, but the building a mound of dirt over the plate, military crawl to the mound, and throwing the rosin bag at the ump like a grenade were all new for me. Be sure to watch this video--definitely a two-thumbs up from Nightputting.

the NY Post is not a good wingman

Yeah, this is probably unnecessary. The Yanks are in last, and we're now stalking the guy who carried the team through the first month. My question is this: Will this lead to more or less booing for A-Rod?
