I don't want to go over this... but this is a pretty good article explaining who should be the AL NVP.

snippet:
>Unwisely sucked in by Teixeira's RBI total (he presently leads Mauer 86 to 73)? Don't be. Teixeira has more RBI than Mauer only because he's had many more RBI opportunities (he's had 362 runners on base ahead of him this season, while Mauer has had just 228). More to the point, Teixeira has driven in 15.5 percent of runners in 2009, and Mauer has driven in 22.4 percent.
I'm glad someone actually looks at this besides baseball fans.

5 things you want to see.
Let us gradually transition into posting as football season (!!!) gets closer.
These are some things you want to see, in the style of college football.
1. Houston defeating Texas Tech, 9-26-09, Robertson Stadium.
A. This would kick ass.
B. We don't have to watch them hang around the top of the Big 12 South all season, only to lose to someone by 60.
C. This would kick fucking ass.
2. Florida vs Tennessee 9-19-09, Gainseville, Florida.
A. The .01% chance that Tenn. actually wins would be awesome.
B. Seeing Florida put up 179 points on Lane Kiffin's mouth would also be funny.
C. This one will be in caps because this is what should happen: AFTER TENN. IS LOSING BY 80 IN THE THIRD QUARTER, SOMEONE GETS A MASSIVE CHEAP SHOT ON BABY JESUS TEBOW AND BREAKS HIS LEGS. The world would love the guy who does this, as much as that guy who tore up Brady's knee.
3. Any Syracuse game that Greg Paulus is still the starting QB.
I'm a pretty negative guy when it comes to sports, unless its my team, so I like to root(is that right, root?) for failure. This guy has all the tools to be a terrible failure in all the right ways. He hasn't played QB in years, he's been a basketball player his whole college career. He's played basketball AT DUKE, that is instant douche right there. It's Syracuse. This could turn out to be fantastically bad.
4. Ohio State defeats USC 3-0, 9-12-09, Columbus, OH.
OSU and USC combine for 80 yards total offense and 14 total turnovers. USC fumbles on their own 1 yard line, only for OSU to suck badly enough to have to kick a field goal for the win. This negates all talk of the teams all year, and taking their pitiful conferences out of the championship hunt.
5. Baylor defeats Oklahoma, 10-10-09, Norman, OK.
This is actually a bigger stretch than Tebow getting his legs broken. However, Baylor made noise last year and they have a Vick'ish QB. I remember a certain someone named Reggie McNeal coming in for Texas A&M beating Oklahoma, although it was in College Station. Oh, how awesome would this be. Make this happen.
Lane's conference winner prediction of the week that is completely biased (LCWPOTWTICB) - PAC-10 - California. Every year they are "suppose" to be good, and I have no idea about their team at all. They are a gay ass bear. Just do USC.

Football. It is time.
And I start my 2009 Texans fantasy jack off dream session with the proverbial camera shot on the dude, or the really really ugly ass woman that pops in your head or something of that nature. Brian Cushing, out with knee. All Coach K. would say about the injury is that he will be out for "a while"
Let us tally the preseason injuries + 1 dumb asshole who won't his 9 million dollar for a year contract.
Brian Cushing - indefinite as of now
Jacque Reeves - at least 6 weeks
Cato June - No idea, they won't say whats wrong his Knee
Dunta Robinson - Won't fucking sign his deal, cock.
That is 4 starting defense players not available right now. This does not mean shit, because we have yet to have even the first preseason game. However, this is not the way I wanted to start off my 2009 footblog-o-season.
Jonathan, it's time to come back man. No need to talk about the horrible Astros anymore.
