Pretty Girl 12.15.10 - Anna Kendrick


Oooh, it's Chirstmas!  Can I have one, please?  I promise to feed her witty banter.

A Flurry Of Activity

Following the Cliff Lee signing a number of smaller dominoes have fallen.  Here we go, beginning with a former Indian...

UT Chris Gimenez signs a minor league deal with the Mariners.

C Russell Martin agrees with the Yankees.  Terms not disclosed.  Jorge Posada will exclusively DH in 2011.

PH Matt Stairs continues his improbable run by signing with the Nats.

The Pirates add 1B Lyle Overbay for 1yr, $5mil.

Gozirra!  DH Hideki Matsui inks with the A's for 1yr, $4.25mil.

RHP Jeremy Accardo (he formerly closed for the Jays) has signed with the Orioles 1yr, $1.08mil.  The O's continue to add talent.

Quiter Dioner Navarro agrees to terms with the Dodgers, 1yr, $1mil.

Hall of Famer Mariano Rivera re-ups with the Yanks, 2yr, $30mil.

Former ace Mark Prior turns into plan B for the Bombers on a 1yr, $750K deal.

Fhew.

Pretty Girl 12.14.10 - Mary Elizabeth Winstead


I'll Ramona her Flowers.

If You Have 3 #1s Is Anyone a #2?

File this under "Get Real Scared of the Phillies," Cliff Lee is returning to Philly on a 5-yr, $100mil $120mil deal.  If Cliffers pitches 200 innings in 2015 or 400 total in 2014+2015 then a $27.5mil option for 2016 vests (with a $12.5mil buyout).  Much respect to Cliff on not just running to the Yankees 6-yr, $138mil (+ $16mil player option).  We are now looking at, arguably, the best rotation of our lifetimes.  Cheers.

An Ugly Microcosm

Nothing sums up the season for the Cavs better than this image.  Also, they lost by 30.

I Like My Pants Golden, Not My Showers



Incredibly I remember the entire game. Not much afterward though.

Fear the Roo



Congrats to the Zips on bringing home the 2010 NCAA Division I Men's Soccer championship.

Pretty Girl 12.13.10 - Rooney Mara



Word is that she pierced both of her nipples for a topless scene in the US remake of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.  Nice.
