- Jake Plummer, I understand how you would be sensitive to people in your rearview mirror after the Cutler acquisition, but no need for the road rage.
- Ryan Madson threw 105 pitches in relief Tuesday.
- Good thing he’s stretched out, as the Cole Hamels injury came quicker than even the pessimists could have expected.
- Speaking of the Phillies, they are 20-1 when Tom Gordon pitches. They are 4-21 when he doesn’t.
- Admittedly, I’m not a huge comic-book movie fan, but am I the only one who thinks “Superman” looks nothing short of terrible?
- RotoWorld’s Dr. A ranks Tim Duncan as the No. 36 player overall going into next year’s fantasy draft. I’ll refrain from commenting on that, but let’s just say he has an open invitation to join my league anytime he wants.
- Jesse Crain had 25 strikeouts in nearly 80 innings last year and finished with a 2.71 ERA. This year, he already has 22 strikeouts in only 20 innings but has an ERA of 7.52. No, it’s not supposed to work like that.
- More YouTube goodness finds a Cubs fan who may or may not have been drinking.
- David Hasselhoff cried when Taylor Hicks won American Idol. Honestly, sometimes it’s just too easy.

- If you’re into rumors, there have been some good ones lately. One states Roger Clemens is currently quietly serving a 50-game steroid suspension. Another (which turned out to be false) had ESPN anchor Neil Everett being suspended from the network for one week for referencing the famous Chris Berman “You’re with me, leather” line on SportsCenter. Good stuff.
- Hope all of you have a great Memorial Day Weekend.
