Dear ILWT Staff,

Can you make an exception and please lift me for this occasion?

Love,

The No-Profanity Rule

No words can ever describe the glory of this video. Really.

Pretty cool piece on #24, documenting the journey he took to get to this point. Must read.

Also comes with vesting option for fourth year. Once again, Ruben LOLmaro strikes again, preferring loyalty to a "legend" over giving someone like Freddy Galvis a chance. Gotta feel bad for Galvis here.

Starring Jim Leyland and Ed Rapuano

With the Tigers coming up for the Boys in Blue, I figured this to be pretty relevant. It's not in the scale of Joe Mikulik or Phillip Wellman, but Leyland does give a very rousing performance. Video is included in this story for your pleasure.

Been a long-time coming now, has it?

On a personal note, from someone who works for a team in the same league as the B-Mets (Harrisburg Senators), it's going to be pretty cool to see this guy a few times this season.

Zach Lutz, Jordany Valdespin, Josh Stinson, and Armando Rodriguez have been protected by the Mets from Rule 5 by being placed on the 40-man roster.

This is good to see, especially with Valdespin being one of the four.

Not even the potential of a work stoppage can keep Buffalo Rumblings' Brian Galliford and Mocking the Draft's Dan Kadar from making their mock draft.

For those who don't want to wait for the link to come up, the Patriots select Cameron Jordan from Cal and Stefen Wisniewski from Penn State with their picks.

The sentence was for criminal sexual misconduct and burglary in South Carolina. This was par for the course for Megget as sexual assault allegations have been a hallmark of his post-football career. Not to mention he's also facing rape charges from a separate case.

If this isn't the type of story that epitomizes the phrase "fall from grace," I don't know what else could.

Rest. In. Peace.

The fact that the culprit looks 8 or 9 years of age makes no difference. Also, even in the midst of their team's successful run, taking pot-shots at Philadelphia fans is still a very fun activity.

Looks like the scumbaggery of the Jets has extended to its fanbase (or least to the vast majority). Then again, this doesn't surprise me.

Stay classy, Jets fans.

Two things you need to know before you clicketh teh linketh:

1) Before you ask, this is a pro-heavy metal site. The name is more of a tongue-in-cheek kind of thing.

2) All of the writers and a big chunk of the commenters there are big-time Mets fans as well, and the site devotes a category to the team called "Metal Mets."

This from Trenton Thunder beat writer Mike Ashmore of the Hunderton County Democrat.

Also, I saw it all with my eyes while on staff with the Thunder. Mejia was really stellar and escaped a few jams. If Jerry needed any more reminders, this one can be added to an apparently lengthy list.

UPDATE: Here is the boxscore at the request of Ogre39666.

Good. No more having to watch him own us.

One word: THIS!

Unfortunately for me, I didn't make it past Level 2.

I know, I suck!

So by virtue of that, the Sand Gnats earn a playoff bid. Congrats to the Sand Gnats!
