First Josh Hamilton and now Jeffrey Allison. Do we really need any more evidence that to be a fully functioning MLB scouting staff, you require a presence at meth labs and crackhouses the country over?

If you hung with the Lakers when Sedale Threatt, Nick Van Exel, Cedric Ceballos and Vlade Divac and Elden Campbell were running the show, then you are a legit Laker fan. Anyone from LA over the age of 30 who can't recall our lineups from the mid 90's is suspect.

@Absurd Hero: affirmed. I have a friend who before this season was lamenting the first round playoff exits the past two years more than was necessary.

"It could be worse."
"How?"
"Ceballos."
"You know I don't like to talk about that."

Damn Canadians getting their podcasts plugged on Deadspin. I'm going to start saying 'eh' after each question and calling guests hosers, just in case.

Chief's shoulder problems: cured! Jesus Colome walks on water! Kearns hits! Elijah Dukes helps an old lady cross the street! Wily Mo Pena hits a breaking ball! Jim Bowden levitates!

Better levitating than driving.

Deron Williams = Comedy Gold!
