I think it is Bay despite Holliday being the better player in my opinion.

From Jon Heyman’s Twitter about four hours ago:

word is, #mariners are still talking to #tigers about righthander edwin jackson, who’s due a raise from $2.3 mil

EJ is gone. Too many rumors swirling around one team (Seattle). Hope I am wrong. Morrow doesn’t do much for me.

I get to work Thanksgiving and all through the weekend.

Talking about my favorite dishes will depress me.

from the air base here. they aren’t allowed to drink. I fear for them, being around my family without booze..

My mom didn’t do this one year, and she never made THAT mistake again. She and her brother are the only people I know of who do it regularly.

You make dressing as usual, but instead of baking it in the turkey or in a casserole dish, you form it into thick patties like bread hamburgers, and melt a pat of butter in a skillet (if you saute celery and onions, and maybe some meat for the dressing, then just use that same pan) and brown the dressing on both sides. It is all warm and crispy and crunchy on the outside.

We’d be eating them the next days for breakfast – pop one in the microwave to warm it up, and drizzle some gravy over it, and that means Thanksgiving to me. :)

Were close to a deal with Omar Vizquel? Just saw it up at MLBTR, sorry if it’s discussed elsewhere, but it makes me laugh.

Why would Chicago think that bringing a guy from the NL to AL who’s going to be 43 have any real success? Players always struggle after leaving the senior circuit and he’s just a solid SS.

Honestly, if Chicago finally just gets rid of Konerko, all the Tiger killers will be gone and I’ll be thrilled. Dye’s done, Thome’s gone, Crede’s gone…just get rid of Pauly, please Kenny Williams! lol

I also got home to find out that I received the MLB.com 2009 holiday catalog. It’s full of stuff I won’t buy, but at least I may be able to do a blog feature on the quirky items like I did last year.

I’m being a loser and just sitting at home. Which means I’m bored. So now I throw some shameless music plugs across the internet.

So here’s my recommended song of the day from my creations: The Circus of the Madmen

Sometimes (I’d say about 50% of the time) when I load the BYB homepage, the Flash-based ad along the side doesn’t load. Now, this wouldn’t be a problem except for the fact that it causes the tab to crash. This only seems to happen on the main page. If I’m in a thread, I seem to be fine. This isn’t a huge problem because IE usually can recover the page, but it is a bit annoying.

assuming I make it through the tons and a half of work I need to get done in the next 5 days. Actually, I’m heading home regardless, but it’d be nice to not have to worry about work over the break.

Planning on going to the Michigan-Wisconsin hockey game next Saturday. Looking forward to getting to see a game at Yost again, it’s been far too long. Need to brush up on my chants :)

It’s kind of pathetic. What’s his motivation?

I have to imagine he’ll get a long look in spring training.

it’s always fun to see where people end up. especially if good players end up on the Tigers.

Thanksgiving is just around the corner! I’m staying in Houghton, while everyone else has gone home. I’ll be following a tradition i started three years ago. Anyone else who didn’t leave is invited for thanksgiving dinner at my house, which i provide the main elements of. I just ask them to bring one dish, so it’s more of a potluck of side dishes.

I am very much looking forward to pumpkin pie, deviled eggs, and BRUSSEL SPROUTS because they are amazing and tasty.
