--The Stats Geek examines the mystery wrapped in an enigma and deep-fried in a riddle, Jason Bay.
--Jack Wilson might be a Detroit Tiger by the end of the day, and realize that it is possible to play for a team that wins more than it loses.
--How close to the bottom are the Pirates in SI's Power Rankings? I'll put it to you this way: if they were a Division I football team, they'd undoubtedly be on Penn State's 2007 schedule.
--Ben Roethlisberger's main squeeze, Missy Peregrym, lets it be known that she wants to play Wonder Woman in the upcoming film adaptation.
--Atlanta needed to fill their gaping hole at first base caused by an offseason trade with the Pittsburgh Pirates. So the Braves will end up with Mark Teixeira and the Pirates end up with Adam LaRoche. That sounds fair to me.
--Who's worse, Dave Littlefield or Matt Millen? Now that's a question that requires some real thinking.
--Here's an open letter to Cleveland from Brady Quinn. Honestly, I couldn't be more excited for the Quinn Era. I'm so looking forward to Steeler fans hating on him for years to come.

--Dejan Kovacevic talks to the angriest fans in America: Pirate fans.
--Here's a gallery of mugshots featuring recent arrestees wearing jerseys. And yes, the Steelers are represented.

--Michael Vick cards are disappearing from 2007 football card sets. Yeah, I'd say Vick memorabilia would be a pretty bad investment these days.

--Former Pirate Bill Robinson dies at the age of 64, and former 49ers coach Bill Walsh passes away at age 75.
--What if the Simpsons Movie was re-cast with athletes?
--Paris Hilton just got cut out of the Hilton family will, a move that will cost her $60 million.
--How are cities fighting gangs these days? The old fashioned way: they're suing them.
