I know I haven’t had a good old fashioned link dump for a while, so there’s a lot of buildup here. If these links take more than four hours to read, please seek medical attention immediately.
–Brian Bocock (remember when he started last season as the Giants’ starting shortstop?) is back healthy after taking Viagra to help the circulation…in his fingers. (Extra Baggs)
–Grant does a 2009 projection for Giants third baseman(?) Pablo Sandoval, the “big, puffy crouton in our wilted salad of a lineup.” (McCovey Chronicles)
–Mychael Urban with a great feature on Matt Holliday, who may help the A’s off the field as much as he does with his bat. Also, apparently Mark McGwire is pretty much a freelance hitting coach. I guess he’s only in hiding from the media and the fans, not those in the baseball fraternity. (MLB.com)
–The 49ers need a left tackle. Here are the best three available in the draft. (Matt Maiocco)
–The Raiders have signed Nnamdi Asomugha to a really expensive three-year deal, one day after franchising their punter. (NFL.com)
–Here’s another diary of last night’s Lakers win over the Warriors. This one actually includes stuff from the entire game, unlike some “Point-by-Points” we know. Geoff Lepper doesn’t quite have the Tony Randolph obsession, however. (48minutes.net)
–Your biggest NBA deadline deal? The Magic got Rafer Alston in a three-team deal with the Rockets and Grizzlies. Wait, that’s it? Really? (ESPN.com)
–The trade deadline passed without making any major changes, but the Lakers made sure former Warrior Josh Powell will have a much bigger role after trading Chris Mihm. Why isn’t Powell a Warrior, again? (Press Enterprise)
–It’s official, Patrick “The Notorious P.O.B.” Bryant is officially a bust. Maybe Don Nelson isn’t a heightist coach after all, but just a guy who knows a crappy center when he sees one. (Celticsblog)
–Kissing Suzy Kolber has a few great recurring characters, but nothing beats Tommy from Quinzee. NO ONE DENIES THIS! (KSK)
