Big Day For The Mouse, Pedroia, Reginald VelJohnson’s Cock

Somebody found Rake Blog via a Google search for “Reginald VelJohnson + cock,” which leads me to wonder if it’s weirder that someone was searching for information about Carl Winslow’s dick or that a quest for such ultimately leads to my website.

Today marks the 80th anniversary of the release of Steamboat Willie. For a little Jake Rake insight on the famed rodent and his continuing significance, head on over to Jewcy. In related news, I didn’t realize the man himself, Walt Disney, testified in front of the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1947 and named names.

A Japanese baseball team has drafted a 16-year-old girl.

With today’s announcement that Dustin Pedroia has been elected AL MVP by the BBWAA, the writers finish the awards voting with a 60% agreement rate with Rake Blog. The awards in which we differed: I chose CC Sabathia for NL Cy Young while the establishment went with Tim Lincecum (who I had as a runner up), and I chose A-Rod (150 OPS+) over Pedroia (122 OPS+) for AL MVP. Pedroia had a nice year, but I would have gone with any number of players over him in terms of value, inluding Grady Sizemore, Carlos Quentin, Nick Markakis, Josh Hamilton, Kevin Youkilis and Joe Mauer. This is the Jimmy Rollins pick of ‘08, where the “MVP” of the league is probably not even the most valuable player in their infield.

The Japanese are turning their garbage into energy, while Americans turns theirs into large piles.
