Maybe I Was Wrong?
“Meanwhile, SI’s Tom Verducci weighs in. He talked to a scout who spoke of an organizational “tug of war” in Philly, with Pat Gillick and Charlie Manuel pushing the win-now move for Doc while Ruben Amaro Jr. and other player development guys are reluctant to move top prospects.”
I must say, Tip-O-Hat to Ruben Amaro

My brother sent me a link to a Film Drunk article about “Forgotten Classics”. I just discovered Film Drunk, its a pretty good website for movie nerds. Anyway, the above clip is a scene from “Deathbed: The Bed That Eats”. All that needs to be known can be found by listening to the clip below, by the genius of Patton Oswalt.

Bigger News
Okay so I teased about Big News, and though the .com is important, its actually relatively small news, in comparison. Within the next month or so there will be some big changes and new features on the site. Bear with me in that time as I try to make this a legitimately decent site.
