The Roundup knows if you’ve been naughty, and it knows if you’ve been nice. It knows when you are sleeping, and it knows how to undo the lock on your bedroom door with a bobby pin. SLEEP WELL, LITTLE ONES. Since we’ll have another early Roundup next week, tips go here.
- Science explains Milton Bradley’s inability to count to three.
- Here’s a special dose of holiday nightmare fuel just for you.
- You know you’ve always wanted to see Frosty do a keg stand. Here’s your chance.
- If you plan on imbibing over the holidays, be safe, and for God’s sake, know where your beer is from.
- Although I could have done without the annoying voice and serial killer subplot, this seven-part, seventy-minute review of The Phantom Menace is amazing and absolutely spot-on. (HT: Dolan) You are the worst, George Lucas.
- Once you go dark, you will wake up with cotton mouth, a headache, and an increased sensitivity to light.
- Speaking of dark, WE’RE ALL GOING TO DIE.
- This one is for Kermit (and all of you other Children of the 80′s and/or banjo-playing yokels out there).
- If only I had enough time to read the 15 Best Time-Travel Stories of All Time. Wait a minute…
- Was I the only one unaware that Jeff Fassero is a pitching coach in our system?
- It turns out you won’t have to wait until spring to get your first look at Carlos Silva in a Cub uniform. (HT: David Chalk) Ugh.
- A rare jort trifecta sighting! (HT: Mark Giangreco Roman Wrestler) Guess where it occurred?
- Bears fans unite to call for the heads of Lovie Smith and Jerry Angelo. (HT: John)
- Since it’s the season of getting doughy and pale, my new favorite site of the week is Pale is the New Tan. God dammit, America.
That’s it for me for the rest of the week, folks. Have a peaceful and merry Christmas.
-Sweet Uncle Lou
Guess where it occurred?
(I hope you noticed it was Philly, Lou)
@Irish Yeti – Flip, flip, Flipadelphia! Blame the tipper, not the tippee.
“WIMPs are among the most popular candidates for dark matter. Scientists have predicted that WIMPs can interact, but only weakly and very rarely.”
Is this saying Fuld would create a black hole in the lineup? Or would the team just be destroyed completely if we used him in CF?
Wait… so if Von Joshua is back as AAA hitting coach, then who is the MLB hitting coach?
@summerguy – Seriously?
@Bad Kermit – Dusty Baker …right?!?
no wait.. Dave Kingman
Oh wow… I feel slightly retarded.
@Bad Kermit – I think it was all pictures of guidos that fried my brain.
@summerguy – don’t feel retarded, it’s not like you traded Milton Bradley for Carlos Silva
That picture of Lou looks familiar…

On the dark matter “discovery”, maybe we should look at the date and think, “Hmmmm… I wonder what could be happening on this date that they MIGHT have discovered a dark matter particle – maybe somebody’s grant is running out at the end of the year and the end of the decade???”
Careful Lou; Milton’s gone, but he may still be listening.
A lot of these links could be summed up by “What happened to your face?”
That’s it. The Cubs chances are officially nil.
Update: DeRosa 2-Year Deal with Giants is Done, Official Announcement on Tuesday
:P
@Moon – It’s ok it was time to move on anyway and moon over someone else. We can now lament over the fact if we just would have kept Reed Johnson we could have been a contender. If he gets signed by another team in the NL I’m going to give Reed a standing O every time he’s at bat at Wrigley, even when the game’s on the line.
Oh, well our chances were already nil anyway since the Playoff-Maker signed on to be the Ace of the Nats 2 weeks ago
