Here are Some Things I Like:
January 25th, 2006After today’s news that Google is censoring its search results in China, many sites are discontinuing AdSense in protest. This includes my absolute favorite baseball blog, Baseball Musings. I think it’s great that people are making their voices heard and hitting Google where it hurts to draw attention to this.
Speaking of baseball, I’m very excited about Kenji Johjima and am looking forward to seeing how the first full-time Japanese catcher does in the Majors. This story on Yahoo describes some of the challenges he faces. If he’s successful offensively, he could put up numbers like Ivan Rodriguez did in his prime. Here are Johjima’s Japanese stats.
Two new albums came out yesterday that I can’t wait to check out: Jenny Lewis’ first solo album and Cat Powers’ latest.
It’s PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME!
New episode of Lost tonight.
I’m in a bit of a funk in terms of reading fiction these days. I’ve been reading some Queen & Country comics, Time magazine, Entertainment Weekly, and some fantasy baseball predictions because I am determined to win every single fantasy baseball league I’m involved with this year. I am currently obsessed with what the move to the Nationals is going to do to Alfonso Soriano’s power numbers - not to mention what a move to the outfield might do to his fantasy value.

Hope my Q&C recommendation is working out for you.
So what is Soriano’s move to the Nationals going to do to his power numbers?

Based on the fact that Sori will be in a new league and in a pitcher-friendly park, I doubt he’ll hit more than 25 home runs this year. If he’s forced into the outfield, this means he’ll go from being one of the best at his position (2nd base) to being a mediocre outfielder.
