Let's Hit Rewind on Buzz Bissinger's Play Article
"Maybe you've heard -- Buzz Bissinger is in the bloggy sports news ether today. Several people sent us Buzz's piece on Kerry Wood in the New York Times magazine Play from about a year ago. I read the article from start to finish. It's artfully written, evocative, unPlaschkely poetic -- and deliberately, wrongheadedly misleading. Buzz Bissinger, such a gifted wordsmith and storyteller, weaves a..."

PLEASE GOD LET THIS BE FAKE
"When you spend all day on the Internet like I do, you see some fucked up and pathetic things. But this may take the cake. I hope, I pray, I plead to my aloof God that this website is an elaborate ruse. It's called "Can the Cubs Mend My Heart?" and there's not really any way I can put it into words. A man in Chicago named Matthew dated a woman for nine months..."

That's What Friends Are For
I'm late to this party -- Deadspin already picked it up -- but I can't resist. FJM Legend Woody Paige wrote an article about his HOF vote. This should give you doubters out there a lot of confidence in the sanctity of the HOF voting system. I'm sitting here, looking out the window and pondering the snow, the sun, the creek, the peak and the Baseball Hall of Fame ballot. [...] Do I vote for ...

The Curse Of Jason Bay
It's somewhat trite to write a baseball rumors post at this stage of the offseason. Everyone and their blind, non-sports fan sister is following the news coming out of the Winter Meetings in Nashville. Besides, the trade rumors and discussions that come out of this stuff is usually crap anyway. It's just a bunch of General Managers sitting in a room playing rotisserie baseball with real ...

Michael Silver's Morning Rush: Empty message

MLB GMs recommending instant replay. Did you miss that? Well, check the tape, bitches.
I really hope the GMs get their proposal through . The best part about this? The idea that there will be a "Replay Judge" somewhere in the stadium watching the tape. Even better... put a camera on him. Then, when a play is up for review, put the Replay Judge up on the jumbotron. Only... don't ever show his face. Just show his silhouette on the phone a la Deal or No Deal. Everybody would be ...
