Why do we continue to boo Manny? He adds to the legend by making a catch he has no business making, runs to the wall for some unknown reason, high-fives a fan, then whips to ball to the cutoff man. Double play ensues.

There are not many CDs totally about baseball. A couple of R.E.M. guys, a Dream Syndicate person and some chick have come up with one. You have to love one of the titles, "Ted Fucking Williams". Even Curt Flood and Harvey Haddix get some love. Sounds cool.

I really like "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang". As I've mentioned in the past, I think the trailer killed this movie. It made no sense. Robert Downey, Jr. is awesome, and so is Val Kilmer as "Gay Perry". And Michelle Monaghan, well, let's say she looked really, really good here. But this breakdown of the film does not do it justice.

Marisa Miller looks good, as well.

I love Charles Barkley. But everyone knows he has a serious gambling problem. He estimates he's lost $10 million over the years. Well, now the Wynn Resorts are suing him for unpaid markers. That can't be good.

But Charles says he will pay up.
