Happy Saturday, readers. It's scheduled to be a gorgeous, mid-60s kind of day out there, the kind of day that makes fall my very favorite season in Minnesota. Astonishingly, we've managed to have only three days since September 1 on which the high was above 60 but below 70; somebody owes us one.
On with the links:
*I'll just introduce this link by saying this: Michael Russo is my favorite beat writer ever, and stuff like this is part of the reason why. I encourage you to make him your favorite as well.
*Spencer Hall at EDSBS may use some uncouth language (you've been warned), but he has proved that he can be outrageously funny - even in graph form.
*Canis Hoopus has the relevant extract of a John Hollinger article from ESPN.com - that considers humble Minnesota as a possible destination for LeBron. The reasoning may be sound, and yet, this might be the most absurd thing I've ever heard. It's a paradox.
*And finally: thanks to the sudden Carlos Gomez-for-J.J. Hardy trade, poor Erin at Plunking Gomez will have to change her blog's name. Before she goes, though, she offers a photo retrospective of Gomez's Twins career. I don't know if it's a good trade or not, but I will really miss Gomez; he was a lot of fun. Here's hoping J.J. Hardy talks to, and sniffs, his bat from time to time. Boom. Zoom!
