Congrats to Buster Posey on winning NL Rookie of the Year. And that big collective sigh of relief you hear is all the writers who picked Jason Heyward before the NLDS.

–

Posey was the first Giants to win the award since 1975.   A 35 year winless streak.   Wonder if back then Aubrey Huff was wearing a thong over his Pampers?.

–

Since 1975, nine Los Angeles Dodgers have won the award. And curiously enough, the ONLY writer who didn’t even have Posey’s name on his ballot at all – Japan’s beat writer for the Dodgers.

–

(Had Heyward won, particularly after he disappeared in the playoffs, would it have been considered a rookie mistake?)

Apparently Buster Posey was asked after winning the NL Rookie of the Year award if he would do the “I’m going to Disneyland” commercial. But Posey declined, saying he wanted to wait until he was old enough to go on all the rides.

–

CNN asked the question. Is Sarah Palin’s “Alaska” reality TV or a campaign ad? The two, however, are not mutually exclusive.

–

How much of a rout was the Eagles-Redskins game? At one point the p.a. system started playing “On Wisconsin.”-

–

Before the Monday night game, the Redskin signed Donovan McNabb to a five-year contract extension worth $78 million,  $40 million guaranteed. And then he went out and threw three interceptions in a 59-28 lost to the Eagles.

–

So just for one week, Washingtonians of all political persuasions agree the town’s biggest waste of money had nothing to do with Congress.

–

from my funny friend Jerry Perisho :  Vikings owner Zygi Wilf says he is not considering firing coach Brad Childress.… That is NFL-speak for, “His ass will be tossed out in the snow any day.”

–

Wisconsin coach Bret Bielman denied he was trying to run up the score, even though the Badgers beat Indiana 83-20, and were passing with a 69-13 lead. I guess had they really been trying to run up the score he’d have called fourth quarter “Hail Marys?.”

–

Bill Clinton is going to appear in “Hangover 2.” Though for many Americans “Hangover 2” is the thought that another of George Bush’s sons may run for president.

–

Actually, I’m confused, didn’t we break away from England partly to get away from a hereditary monarchy?

–

Rachel Uchitel, Tiger Wood’s first alleged mistress, decided to finally tell her story to England’s “Daily Mail”   Yes, there was a time when we all thought Tiger’s marriage was on the rocks simply due to one affair.

Just as some naive sports fans believed Brett Favre would only have one retirement.

–

Uchitel reportedly told a friend last summer she still wanted to marry Woods.  Let’s put that statement in the category of “Maybe not so smart women, but definitely foolish choices.”

 –

Alaska GOP senator Lisa Murkowski said she would not support Sarah Palin for President, saying she didn’t think she had “leadership qualities,” or “intellectual curiosity.” Of course, there are dissenters – “Whatever that intellectual stuff was, I never needed it” responded George W. Bush
