Oh, fajitas. Oh, how I adore you. The way you arrive at my table still sizzling on a metal platter.

Phillies Fan Goes Knuckle-Deep
I'm not sure what this Phillies fan, who made it up to Citi Field for last night's win over the Mets, should be more embarrassed about. The fact that the cameras perfectly caught him prospecting for green gold, or that he's wearing a division championship shirt. (H/T Debra)...
The Official Bobcats Draft Lottery Party Was A Sad, Sad Time
The Bobcats opened up Time Warner Cable Arena for fans to come and watch last night's draft lottery. A lovely gesture, one much appreciated by the 40 or so people who showed up.

No Matter Who Wins, The NBA Draft Lottery Is Fixed
If Charlotte wins the first overall pick in tonight's draft lottery, it'll be because the association wants Michael Jordan to succeed and the Bobcats to draw in a market the NBA desperately wants to stay in.
