I went ahead and took my own suggestion to move this thing to Saturday morning. I hope you approve. This week’s links are sponsored by George, a tale of heartbreak and redemption.

Phillies 2012: A Look Ahead – MLB Trade Rumors gives me hope that the Mets will be able to win the NL East in two years. Hopefully by then Fernando Martinez will be in the OF; Ruben Tejada or Wilmer Floree, 2B; Josh Thole, C; and Jenrry Mejia in the rotation. I wonder if that last sentence was at all grammatically correct.

Ken Blackwell, Author Of ‘Blueprint,’ Tries To Convince Jon Stewart That Obama Is A Tyrant, Fails (VIDEO) – I’m just kinda embarrassed for this guy. He wrote a book and he’s not even able to back it up. At all.

Team Fortress 2: 119th Update! – I haven’t played TF2 for quite a while, but it’s easily one of my favorite games of the past few years, and it’s certainly one that keeps on giving. Valve rocks. I need to load it up just to get my GRIZZLED VETERAN medal.

The Chase is on – Adam Rubin lobby that Chase Utley is “poised” to take the title of Most Feared Opponent of Mets Fans from Chipper Jones. I’d say that already happened. My mancrush is only proof of how terrified I am whenever he comes to the plate. For an opposing player to already have unofficially claimed naming rights to a section of a stadium is just impressive.

Apple shutting down Lala music service – I thought Microsoft was supposed to be the evil company? Now I can’t stream the albums The A.V. Club reviews? Fuck you, Steve Jobs.

Blame The Superstar Syndrome – Why David Wright was getting booed. Or why Mike Francesa was saying to trade him a year and a half ago. Or why sometimes I end up talking about trading Jose Reyes.

Batman 3 Release Date Set – I was really tempted to make this its own post. But all I have to say is July 20, 2012. I hope it doesn’t suck; I don’t want Christopher Nolan to go out on a bad note before the world ends.

Long Island: The 51st State?

I had no idea there was even any talk of this. Leave it to The Daily Show to make me aware of ridiculous political shit.

In Case You Missed It…

…like I did…a late-night feud was finally settled last night. (Honestly, after watching all the videos in succession, all you need to watch is the final one. But I already posted all the others, so whatever.)

A feud had been going on for a while between Conan O’Brien, Stephen Colbert, and Jon Stewart. A little fun while the writers are striking. Here’s the backstory:

Last night, the Stewart-Colbert-Conan feud officially went EPIC. Sure it’s a bit corny, but that’s what late night television is. Still awesome.

Part 1 – The Daily Show

Part 2 – The Colbert Report

Finale – Late Night with Conan O’Brien

Yeah, the first two are taking way too long to load right now. I’m sorry that you need to deal with Comedy Central Motherload crap. Ugh. I’m going to post the links anyway. I wish there were a compilation video on YouTube. At least NBC is cool with this type of stuff.
