Interesting video from slate.com comparing dead-center and off-center cameras.

Original article here. There isn't necessarily any new information here, but the video is put together well and it's fun to watch. If nothing else it's good to see a media outlet like Slate pick up a story like this.

Surgery reveals Bedard's labrum is torn

LaRue.

I don't even know if I care. Maybe this makes it easier for us to sign him to an insanely cheap deal? I don't know. I know I feel bad for him though. Hopefully this isn't a career-ender, but it's tough to say with labrums.

Also, how the fuck did they not catch this the first time he went on the DL? Seems like a pretty big screw up.

OFFTOP 07/07/09 -- Keep me entertained in Portland edition

acblue — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 20:24:26 -0000

I'm spending the weekend in Portland and while I know plenty of people there the lady and I will be left to our own devices for a fair amount of time. We're looking for suggestions for stuff to do; bars to hit up, parks to hang out in, museums to visit, record stores, thrift/boutique shopping, you name it.

Pretty much all I know in Portland is the Rogue, Kelly's Olympian, the Kenton Club and the mall. Help me out, y'all!

Also, talk about whatever and preserve Jeff's sanity.

No one cares about Jack Kerouac's fantasy team.

No one cares about Jack Kerouac's fantasy team.

"Almost all his life Jack Kerouac had a hobby that even close friends and fellow Beats like Allen Ginsberg and William S. Burroughs never knew about. He obsessively played a fantasy baseball game of his own invention, charting the exploits of made-up players like Wino Love, Warby Pepper, Heinie Twiett, Phegus Cody and Zagg Parker, who toiled on imaginary teams named either for cars (the Pittsburgh Plymouths and New York Chevvies, for example) or for colors (the Boston Grays and Cincinnati Blacks)."
