- Anderson Silva has to be the most entertaining fighter in the UFC. Georges St. Pierre might be a perfect machine, but Silva is the MMA equivalent of an Ali and Roy Jones Jr. cocktail. He fights inside the Matrix.

- Never tell yourself you’ll never do a certain something again, because you’ll feel that much worse when you do it and it bites you in the ass.

- This trailer for the upcoming movie Brothers is one of the most hilariously awful things I’ve ever been subjected to. Maybe this is because I find Tobey Maguire impossible to take seriously after Spider-Man 3. Or maybe because the entire movie is shown in the trailer.

- Life is always that much better when you’re in first in both your fantasy baseball leagues.

- I randomly discovered Kayak.com in a NeoGAF thread today — I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a flight. Simpler than any other site I’ve seen. Not that I’ve actually flown anywhere for a vacation this decade. Holy shit, I need to go somewhere.

- Staying on the simple website topic, Mint.com is apparently some website that can keep track of all your finances for you. But they need to know how to access all your online account information. I only allow third-party access to my pathetic life, not my pathetic finances, thank you very much.

- Eggs are required when you’re ordering at a diner after midnight. There are no exceptions to this rule.

- Weird things happen at bars at 3:30 am, like a 20-something girl walking out with a 50-something guy wearing a Hawaiian shirt. I hope I’m that cool when I grow up.

- Jeff Francoeur continued mediocrity — interpreted as above-average contribution by idiots — is probably the worst-case scenario for next season, since it would convince Minaya that he’s the answer in RF. Amazin’ Avenue covers it here. On a related note, Amazin’ Avenue also covers the stat known as WAR pretty well in the process of ripping another blogger/radio show host.

- As you could have guessed by now, I think a girl talking about baseball stats would probably be the hottest thing ever. Even better than ass-to-ass, Requiem-style.

- Did I never write a post about Five Guys? Best fast-food I’ve ever had. Nothing better than a bag of greasy fries and a fresh double-pattied bacon cheeseburger. If people from the West Coast read this blog, they’d say that In-N-Out is better.

- Why can’t I find a decent Christina Hendricks wallpaper? The internet has failed me.

I know I declared this Mets season dead two weeks ago, so I shouldn’t torture myself by turning into SNY nightly, but I can’t help myself. I want to see if Francoeur can continue to fool people into thinking he’s valuable. I want to see if David Wright can learn how to hit home runs again, or at least get his K rate back down to his normal level. I want to watch Oliver Perez walk guys around the bases first-hand, so I can gloat about how right I was with regards to his contract. I want Daniel Murphy to show some semblance of power, if only to raise his trade value. And of course, I want to witness Johan Santana attempt to carry the team on his back, and subsequently lose his shit when the rest of his team totally sucks.

Each night I am greeted with new examples of futility. Mike Pelfrey may have thrown seven innings of three-run ball, but unfortunately, his team only supplied him with one run and four hits. And one of those runs given up by Pelfrey was a result of Francoeur ducking from a fly ball caught in the lights. There was nothing else tonight particularly egregious, it was just total listlessness.

This organization is a fucking disaster from top to bottom. The owners get pulled in by Ponzi schemes; the GM doesn’t seem to have any sort of plan for when exactly he wants to win with this team; and the VP of Player Development is taking his shirt off, calling AA players pussies, and challenging them to fights. Holy shit.
