Around SBN: Two Minutes Of Thunder Basketball Wins The Game

Funniest thing I've read all week

Baseball Think Factory member PhillyBooster (post #4) has made a list of headlines he's looking for this preseason, including:

8. "Veteran Free Agent Acquisitions Will Be Instrumental In Comforting Youngsters Tasting Prolonged Defeat For First Time"

9. "Reconfigured Ballpark Will Help Home Team, But Should Help Visitors More."

10. "Statisticians, Scouts Agree: Player Sucks."

More entertaining pre-season bits in this season preview from The American Enterprise:

APRIL 15: Exhausted and easily confused tax preparers attempt to develop an amortization schedule for Derek Jeter's intangibles.

Do yourself a favor: read the whole thing.

Hehe
Onion-material there. But how about this line:
OCTOBER 19: Unable to decide on the NL Cy Young winner between Mark Mulder, who finished the season with 24 wins and a 4.57 ERA; and Ben Sheets, who won only 17 but with a 2.32 ERA, several baseball writers throw their support to David Eckstein for a scrappy 1/3-inning June performance in emergency relief.

Hey, let's hope he is in the Cy Young race but with, say, 23 wins...

And damn Jeff, you've been blogging like a crazy man lately.

just wait till the season starts :)
I loved the entry you mention, and I'm with you on Sheets's win total.  I'd be happy with 17, though, if the bullpen got wins for 10 more times he left with a 1-1 tie.  

No baseball parody is complete without a reference to David Eckstein and his scrapiness.
