hey, pretty nice. A little Sheryl Crow-ish, a little Bob Dylan-ish. I mean both of those as compliments.

Short answer: yes. Your Gravatar username doesn't matter. Just make sure to use the same email address to set up gravatar that you used to set up your WGOM account.

I wish I could opt out of the local free newspaper, too. It goes right into the recycle bin, and the plastic wrapper goes into its recycle bag as well.

Dodgers may be working on deal to unload Andruw Jones

by brianS Respond: Be First

My favorite bit, which I assume is tongue-in-cheek:

Fuentes Signs With LAAAAAAA

by ubelmann Respond: 3 LTEs

2 years, $17.5M, reportedly, with options and stuff, plus they give up a first-round pick to Colorado. Last year, league average ERA for a relief pitcher was 4.09. Marcel the Monkey projects Fuentes to have a 3.69 FIP next year. Probably an overpay, but there's plenty of upside.
