SportsFilter: The Tuesday Huddle:
A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.
Thanks rcade. I've been suffering through withdraws. Not a good sight.

Unlike Jimmy Butler:
At one point in a scrimmage, sources said, Butler turned to GM Scott Layden and screamed, "You (bleeping) need me. You can't win without me." Butler left teammates and coaches largely speechless. He dominated the gym in every way. Jimmy's back.

From the hold my beer department:
What do Supreme Court Justices do in their free time? Some have book clubs or movie night. But for the younger members who yearn for something livelier, now there's a place where you can drink till you hurl.

This is from a Twitter post from Bill Simmons about the 9th inning of last night's Red Sox vs Yankees game:
That felt like every demon of my childhood and young adulthood came out of the attic, sat on the sofa and watched the 9th inning with me.
It very accurately reflects how it was at my house. I suppose that the series win just couldn't have been valid without it nearly having been blown.

Really? As I was watching all those young, hopeful, wishing-against-wish Yankee fans in the crowd, I paused thusly
But then I remembered that 4th of July that Ron Guidry broke my heart and just laughed.

Sorry about the downtime. MySQL is staging a walkout.
