Around SBN: The Amateur Mathematics Of Linsanity

The Pub: Clocked

Friday was pretty close to an all around terrible day for my rooting interests, Rockies lost, Avs lost, as you'll see in the Pebble Report, all of our farm teams lost. So I'm going to be on a bit of a short fuse today. For that reason, I'm opening a "let's not talk about it" open thread where anything but the Rockies is welcome. Alright, I do have to admit that I was excited that my USC Trojan baseball team took out their pounding sticks against Tyson Ross (the same guy I defended as a possible first round pick for us in Thursday's Rockpile) but that was the lone sports highlight for my day.

I'm currently reading a collection of Richard Price books that I checked out from the library after reading several positive reviews for his latest, Lush Life and having some of my writer friends who swear by his prose and dialog skills even though I'm not really into the whole crime genre. Uhm, haven't really seen any movies lately, is there anything good out? Anyway, non-Rockies stuff can go here.

It could be worse

you could be a Longhorn fan, watching your team surrender 30+ runs to the Mizzou Tigers. Lost in that offensive explosion is the dusting of Aaron Crow, who had been nothing short of spectacular to date. I'd imagine the number one overall pick will come down to Crow and Beckham, the winner being the one with lower bonus demands.

Speaking of books

After having had Cormac McCarthy's novel The Road recommended to me for years and having just recently watched No Country for Old Men I came very close to picking up the novel the other day.

Anyone want to give it the final recommendation that pushes me over the edge?
