According to Adam Rubin, in a report for the Daily News, this off season, the Mets will look for a power upgrade in left field. First of all, this idea that the team MUST improve their power is important, but the goal should not be that simple. I mean, Rob Deer hit for [...]

Despite an apparent concussion at the end of the game against Baltimore last week, head coach Eric Mangini expects Josh Cribbs to play against Detroit this weekend. Unlike most weeks, this might actually make a difference as Cleveland aims for their second win of the season in a battle of the two worst football franchises [...]

As Sean noted, the Yankees added seven players to their 40-man roster yesterday, protecting them from the Rule 5 draft. They also removed Shelley Duncan from the roster and outrighted him to Triple-A. I predicted that the Yankees would only add four or five players, so I am definitely a bit surprised they chose to [...]

It feels like months since United’s last outing. I’m not sure whether that’s because of the boredom the International break breaks or the need we’ve felt to bury our last game to the back of our memories. Losing against your title rivals is always going to be painful but to lose how we did, at [...]

Shannon Drayer ends the boredom with some real news – the Mariners are going to start working Dustin Ackley out at second base. This is something that had been speculated on pre-draft, as his college coach had publicly said that he though Ackley could make the transition, but the Mariners had been adamant that [...] -- This post came from: U.S.S.

Outfielder Laynce Nix has been outrighted by the Reds and elected free agency, according to MLB.com's Mark Sheldon. Nix was considered a non-tender candidate, as the Reds have plenty of outfield candidates already. In a few weeks they must decide whether to tender Jonny Gomes a contract (seems like a good idea to me). Nix, 29, received the most playing time of his career since 2004 this year. He hit...

At the taping of the 2009 mtvU Woodie Awards on Wednesday night (November 18), there were a handful of memorable moments that captured both the madcap energy of the show and the envelope-pushing nature of the artists involved. There was the near-nudity of Matt and Kim's backup singers, the curse-happy introduction Mary-Louise Parker gave for [...]

Baby did a bad, bad thing: Lieutenant McDonagh (Nicolas Cage) during a reflective moment in the midst of his usual drinking, leching, and lying. It's difficult to enter into Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans expecting a comedy. That's despite a title more ridiculous and unwieldy than even a CSI spin-off would accept, and a trailer that features star Nicolas Cage waxing rhapsodic on his lucky...

My first introduction to French duo Gangpol & Mit (Guillaume Castagne and Sylvain Quément) was through their music. It wasn’t until recently that I learned they are as involved in the creation of animation as they are in concocting their unique blend of electronica. Their latest DVD, Faits Divers (Pictoplasma Publishing), is a collection of 18 [...] Posted on Motionographer

I will never tire of sites that focus on the absurdity of clients and their out-of-left-field requests. Never. With that in mind, Clients From Hell is right up my alley and provides an endless amount of entertainment. I think you'll agree.
