Weekend Links – 1/9/10

It’s a new year and I figured maybe I should start a new semi-regular post. Basically, 3:10 to Joba has forced me to start linking to him because he won’t stop linking to me. I can’t let that go on any longer without reciprocation.

The Red Sox Continue To Do Things Right – 3:10 explains why Theo Epstein is smart and why Omar Minaya isn’t. Well, I added the second part.

Everything you always wanted to know about: UZR – A primer on the preeminent sabermetric fielding statistic at the moment. I’ve even seen it mentioned in Newsday!

Whoa, Easy On The Crazy, ‘Lost’ Fans – This is old now, since it’s been announced that Obama’s speech won’t conflict with the schedule 3-HOUR LIFE-CHANGING EVENT that is the Lost Season 6 premiere, but seeing the reactions is still hilarious.

Avatar: #2 of All Time in 20 Days – I don’t get it. Or maybe I do, since I paid for it.

What Should I Drink? Soda Pop Edition – First off, it’s not fucking pop. Secondly, I can’t even tell what the Mexican drink is at the very top. Either way, it’s still a cool chart, but I’m linking for all the other flowcharts also listed there. It’s scarily spot-on with me on some of them.

I think that’s enough for a first time around. I didn’t even prepare for this! I’ll actually save links for next week’s edition — if there’s an edition next week. You never know, I might be too tied up doing nothing.

Note: I really, really want to steal 3:10′s idea (oh wait, that’s the entire sports blogosphere idea) about combining the links with a hot chick — and have a slight twist on it. But I don’t think the chick would be happy. Nope, probably not.
