FREE KRAUT!

I’m really looking forward to seeing the new Polanski. LaSalle really liked it (and I enjoyed his review), as did Manohla Dargis.
Once again, I’m in exact accord with Drew McWeeny (aside from the fact that I haven’t actually seen the first film):
Man, I was taken aback when The LA Times ran a piece about the [...]

Henceforth, FK shall celebrate every February 26 as Jack Cust Day. Slusser. Lee. This is the most awesome part (even better than Cust’s new daughter): Jack Cust will be working with Rickey.
Via Fangraphs, Vegas over/unders. Yeah, the Twins look like the only major calculated misperception.
sfgate’s spring training photos. Some nice stuff in there — I [...]

Jack Cust is here
So awesome (except for the Friday thing)
Yglesias draws overbroad conclusions — as Atrios sez, oppo to VT Yankee is rational: it’s a really poorly run facility, with a track record of mendacity
I can’t go away, because I’m not even here

A while ago, mb joked about being interested in participating in a fantasy baseball league if it was aimed at fielding the worst team possible.  So I checked on Yahoo! and we could have a league with the following categories:
Hitting; ABs, GS, Singles, HBP, Sac Hits, CS, K, GIDP, E, Catchers’s Interference (!)
Pitching: IP, L, [...]

1. SuSlu1: Jake Fox is out of options. AFAICT, the rules themselves aren’t really that complicated, but MLB doesn’t make the information about each player available to the public or (apparently) even to the players.
2. SuSlu2: Duchscherer is in the best shape of his life the last few days.
3. SuSlu3: Devine and DiNardo also feeling [...]

Apparently being an Angels fan…requires taking leave of logical thinking.

Premium snark:
Tulips and crocuses. Robins. Meaningful college basketball games. All of these are classic harbingers of spring, but perhaps the surest sign that spring is here is the annual Eric Chavez comeback story. Hark! There it is!

I really do not understand the Tigers crying poverty on Granderson, and then signing Damon
I thought for [...]

1.
2. Zuckerman –> Senate? (I actually know nothing about Mort Zuckerman).
3. 93-year-olds, dude.
4. Price controls for insurance companies?
5. Khalil Greene still crippled by social anxiety.

They’re back, and Slusser’s with ‘em, and she says that Duke’s back’s a little owie, Outman’s shoulder’s a little disabled, and Dallas’ nasal is a little endoscoped. And while you and I might say Muh-ZAH-ro, Vin says Muh-ZAIR-oh.
Also Dallas went to Amsterdam and loved the Van Gogh museum, which is in fact awesome, and [...]

Sontag aside, I’d like a couple things from you all.
First, please let me know when you receive your package, and pay no attention to the accompanying unidentified white powder.  There will be time for the police to identify that later.
Second, please post pictures of how you apply said swag.
I’m thinking of doing another round–this time [...]
