Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

Game 137 Revelry Thread

La Russa's postgame conference is going to be dominated by his decision to permanently bench Albert Pujols. "Look," he plans on saying, in a prepared statement, "he gives us some damage out of that three hole, sure. But now he can do that at any time in the game. If it comes to that, he could even pinch hit for the guy in the three slot. He just gives us a lot of different looks."

it's a common interpretation

of the belief that one should obstain from addictive and habit-forming substances/activities. caffeine would be on the far end of spectrum that “real” drugs and alcohol, etc also fall on. If you’re at BYU you couldn’t buy a non-caffeine-free coca-cola… but I’d say about 1/3 of other mormons I know would get crazy and “do the dew” to help stay awake.

Somewhere in my mom's basement

is the piece of the goal post from the 97 or 98 win over KU at Faurot. Me and several others lugged that heavy beast to Harpo’s, had a friend run to the hardware store and buy a hack saw, and sawed on that thing for hours while friends ran inside for franklins. Well worth it, even though we should have won the game in the first place.

If Pinkel were the coach he would have told us to get off the darn field and that we should expect those kind of wins.

Creed shreds

"I remember once talking to one guy on the Cardinals and asking him what Pujols was like as a teammate. He said something that’s really special, if you think about it. He said: "Albert is so good that you feel like you let him down when you screw up." I thought that had to be the ultimate line that could ever be said about a ballplayer. I build my baseball team around that ballplayer."

The NY Daily News was, in fact, the paper that destroyed him

They sat on their HGH information for months (and possibly years), hoping Ankiel would become relevant someday, all in revenge for the Mets losing in 2006. The story was nothing more than a blurb if he was still toiling in the minors.

When the Cardinals got within a game of the division late in 2007, the Daily News released the story, and Ankiel never recovered.
