This is just amazing. One commenter nailed it: This guy gives Batgirl a run for her LEGO money.

I'll never say Jeter's o-ver-rated again

(As long as ESPN gives Freddy just as much man-love.) Basically I stand corrected on everything I've ever said about Derek Jeter . In 146 games and 592 at-bats in 2007, Jeter has scored 93 runs and has 187 hits, 33 doubles, 3 triples, 11 HRs, 67 RsBI, 54 BBs, 89 Ks and 13 stolen bases to go with 8 caught stealings. He has a .316 BA, .386 OBP, .438 SLG and an .823 OPS. Which makes Jeter just as good of a player as our own Freddy Sanchez . In 140 games and 576 at-bats, Freddy has 76 runs, 178 hits, 42 doubles, 3 triples, 11 HRs, 78 RsBI, 31 BBs, 70 Ks, and 0 stolen bases in 1 attempt. He has a .309 BA, .348 OBP, .450 SLG and a .798 OPS. Jeter gets the edge in World Series rings admittedly and has a slight edge in OPS thanks to those extra walks, but that's crazy how similar those lines are. Thanks, DK , for the heads up.

What I've been listening to:

This past week in the world of what I've been listening to, Wilco and Arcade Fire dominated when it came down to it. I just purchased Neon Bible from iTunes so that explains why I'm into Arcade Fire right now, and I've been listening to as much Yankee Hotel Foxtrot and A Ghost Is Born as I can, both spectacular albums I haven't spent enough time with. Jamie lent me the new Caedmon's Call album, Overdressed, so that has had some play time, too, but not a ton. And I listened to the Gorillaz' Demon Days album once through earlier today after I heard Feel Good, Inc. on the radio. Cool song, cool album. And that's the update. Let me know what you've been listening to and/or what I should be listening to, and you should be listening to Wilco and Arcade Fire.

Word or not a word?

Actually, this time a phrase: "As per usual." I guess the better question is, can I say this? Used in a sentence: "Jon did something awesome, as per usual." (We're not commenting on the truthfulness of the sentence example. It's true.) Official final ruling on "agreeance..." [see the comments].
