Lunar New Year
Happy Year of the Pig to Singapore Sox Fan readers! May you not pig out like Pedroia.
And all the best to all players born in the Year of the Pig - including one Pedro J. Martinez.
Okay, I'll stop with the cultural references before Butch Stearns gets on my case for promoting a festival that is linked with drinking.

Guilty Pleasures
The Guardian had various intellectuals discussing their guilty pleasures, and Martha Nussbaum cited baseball. I'd argue anything that could inspire the first chapter of Underworld would hardly be a guilty pleasure for intellectuals, but Nussbaum's comment on fan devotion is quite nice:

Marcus Aurelius said that the first lesson in ethical impartiality was to learn not to be a sports fan, and I have not learned that lesson, nor do I want to learn it. Pondering that apparent contradiction helps me think better about how we can build a world where we support the urgent needs of people everywhere, while still having something improbably wonderful to love.

J.D. Drew Finally Signs
Come on, like it wasn't going to get done. Theo has hearted J.D. with a hunka hunka burnin' love for ages.
The weird thing about J.D. Drew for me has always been that "J.D." stands for... "David Jonathan". It isn't like there is something wrong with "D.J.", so how'd that switch happen? Was he going by "Jonathan Drew" and that get abbreviated, the way people say "ATM machine" and "PIN number"?
Somewhat tangentially, "Jonathan David" is a great Belle and Sebastian song.
