Listening to Jeff Buckley, Live at Olympia (thanks, Didi!). That and a pot of coffee should keep me going for a while.
To the links (sit down, we’ve got a few)…
This is old, but it bears mentioning. Mike Cameron has signed with the Brewers (hat tip to Marsh in the comments). As I mentioned at Knuckle [...]

This talk of tiebreakers makes my head hurt. Win three and the rest will take care of itself.
