Pardon my zinger...

  • Liz Phair's epic indie rock set Exile in Guyville was just remastered and released with some bonus tracks.
  • moviehole.net debuted their fancy new site design. I kinda miss the shitty, early days of HTML feel of the old site. Plus, the new site looks terrible in Netscape Navigator 3.
  • Speaking of movies, the new Bond film looks freaking sweet.
  • In honor of Pixar's new film Wall-E, Radar Online takes a look back at the history of cinema's gay robots .
  • Oh. My. God.

Remastered Liz’s CD? Hopeflly it still retains that “What did she produce it in her bedroom” sound that makes it so good. :-) Love that album.

The 2008 NY Mets: Reyes singles. Castillo infield single. Wright walks. Beltran lines out. ZaBlanc bitches. Delgado strikes out. Reyes picked off third. Fans boo. Padres win 2-1.

I was inspired by Eric's comment that Olerud had the best 3-year run as a Met outside Carlos Beltran to look at a few different Mets, and when I noticed that two of my all-time favorite players (Alfonzo and Strawberry) were kinda screwed by having (relatively)bad seasons in between some really good seasons, I decided to see which Mets had the best 3 seasons, period (non-consecutively). Beltran still comes out on top, but my all-time favorite player Alfonzo comes in 2nd place, and him and Straw are the only two to have three 6.0+ WAR seasons. Also interesting that Hundley comes out ahead of Gary Carter, Cleon Jones almost finishes ahead of Mike Piazza, and Joe McEwing doesn't make the list.
