'Twas The Night Before December 22 ...

• Woody Paige's tough qualifications for the Hall of Fame. • Isiah introduces us to "sunt." • Elijah Dukes' December surprise. • Dolphins win! • The return of Lil Ronnie. • Michael Wilbon's tiny pals. • Paul LoDuca, dodger. • Scott Van Pelt, commencement speaker. • Jonathan Papelbon's dog rules. • Happy Christmasaroo!

OK, that'll do it for us. Your weekend rock star is Matt Sussman. We're going to enjoy some Mattoon time — though we are stupidly going to the Illinois-Missouri game tomorrow night — and be back for Christmas Eve. See you then.
