So I found the time and energy to put this together. Please help me to fill in the blanks, and add anything which we have missed. I hope to keep this as a living document, much like the Twitter List.
Ever wonder why we say "Grillax", or talk about pee and cheerios so much? Curious why we're obsessed with lasagna and Cameron Garfield? Then read more after the jump!

Sheen used steroids for Major League, says movie has stood the test of time.
He talks about making the movie, being crazy, and then talks about watching movie again. I'd like to watch Nyjer Morgan and Charlie Sheen hang out.
The Brewers and Blowout Games

on Brew Crew Ball
Last season after all of the talk about "throwing out games in which the Brewers blew out their opponent, they weren't very good", I decided that some kind of statistical analysis needed to be applied. Therefore I downloaded and compiled the game-by-game results for every MLB team. Since getting the data, I have not taken the time to analyze it, but with the coming summer break I think it's time to take a look.
Not to mention in the presence of this season's offensive woes, it might be good for us to remember that this team is capable of putting 12+ runs on the board once in a while!
One challenge I face as part of this project is to define what a "Blowout" is. I am thinking somewhere in the neighborhood of a 5+ or 6+ run differential, but if anyone has any thoughts on the matter I welcome the input.

Should CarGo REALLY hit more ground balls?
Jeff Sackmann analyzes McCalvy's article about changing Gomez's swing and finds that McCalvy may not be right on the money. Of course we know that to call the balls caught in the air off Gomez's bat "fly ball" is often overly generous.
