What exactly did Jeter do this year to win this? Play and win on the most expensive team in history?

I'm a grad student at KU, and apparently there's all sorts of hell breaking about Mark Mangino. Granted, none of this was a problem when we went 12-1 and won a BCS game, nor was it a problem last year. Of course, it's a problem now that we've lost 5 straight (and are gonna lose to Texas this weekend). It matters naut, I'm not here to discuss our head coach's team. I'm here to discuss Jason Whitlock's column today, with this little gem:

If he spent two years away from football addressing his weight problem, applied for a job at 270 pounds, he would be a can’t-miss BCS candidate. Heck, he would be a terrific choice to coach in the NFL.

I'm speechless.

AL Gold Gloves announced. Apparently Jeter had a positive UZR/150 this year, but if I may, that's because his range sucks so much he cleanly plays every ball he gets to.

Also, Mauer is a stud, and that outfield looks like one hellva impressive defensive collection.

Brewers get Gomez, JJ goes to the new Target Field. I like this trade for us, because JJ is better offensively, plays more positions, and well, frankly, is just damn better than Gomez. Now JJ is out of the NL Central, albeit, he had a rough 2009. Go Twins.

I usually enjoy the man's entertainment journalism, but the last reason on this list is silly. Sorry if we're too loyal, Rick.

White Sox blog giving a team-by-team breakdown of World Series winners and their team's juicer. Interesting.

...and with this post, I have hit 10,000 posts on SBN in the nearly 4 years I've been here. Here are my steps to long-term BCB health:

Step 1 - Walk away from the computer.

Step 2 - Punch something constructive (and non-breakable) when dealing with blown saves, throwing the ball into the stands with two outs, back spasms, etc. Stay away from water coolers.

Step 3 - Drink 6-23 beers. May also substitute Jamo.

Step 4 - Walk MVP, Madison Vic (Mackey) Pollitt, my 3 year old beagle.

Step 5 - Find somebody to poke on Facebook.

Step 6 - Reload BCB

What are your steps to long-term BCB health?
