I’m not sure what freaked me out more, the Zellweger-Chesney nuptials or Casey Blake hitting leadoff for the Tribe. It seems highly unusual for that type of marriage to be kept quiet, but doesn’t that sound much like Julia Roberts and Lyle Lovett getting together?

As for my favorite player, Blake, he does look at a lot of pitches. In fact, he always rates highly in pitches per at-bat. Unfortunately, he doesn’t do much when he decides to swing. Of course, this’ll probably last only a few days as Wedgie has used 27 different lineups in 31 games. I’ll be at a couple of games on the next homestand, so I’ll be able to see what the hell is going on up close.

The father of one of those two dead Illinois girls is charged with their murder. I am amazed he thought he could get away with this brutal act. He doesn’t fit the normal “quiet man” profile.

The Rolling Stones head out on tour once again. Uh, we didn't make this list either.

Be sure to pick up a free Junior Frosty at Wendy's this weekend. They want to regain some bidness, as Dave Thomas would say.

Exercise Yard

A pretty cool feature from USA Today. Tom Durkin calls a Dream Derby featuring 10 of the greatest thoroughbreds in history. Bellamy Road didn’t make the cut.
