Couple of things

- UPDATE - In what is quite possibly the most tremendous news story ever recorded, a leprechaun has been spotted in Mobile, Alabama ... complete with a remix that makes you want to get up and shake your blarney stone. It's important, watch the actual story first and then the remix ... otherwise, well, it just wouldn't make sense.

- Just get some ATF agents there searching for a ninja, and disaster will be averted. And I'm puzzled by the 'possible heart attack' line? Was it an actual heart attack that couldn't be confirmed? Or was it part of the mock disaster? Too many questions.

- Oh, I don't know, perhaps radically reworking his swing can pull Jeff Francouer out of his slump. The kid's got plenty of potential, but an atrocious swing which makes Pedro Cerrano look like a .400 hitter. It's a big loop which means home run if he gets the right pitch and connects solidly, but it also could mean swing-and-a-miss if the pitch is a breaking ball, down-and-away. Right now, Francouer is feast-or-famine and will be doing his best Ron Gant impersonations (with, admittedly, far superior defensive skills) until he tinkers with his swing and learns to be more patient at the plate.

- This is the Athens Banner-Herald's editorial today? Odd.

- As you may or may not know, I finally got up my Top Five lists for this week, just a few days late and in two parts. I intended to do five Top Fives, but stuck with four due to their enormous length. Here there are - Part One and Part Two.

So white people and latino people see the Virgin Mary and Christ in grilled cheese sangwiches, large glass windows, stains under bridges, and plates of pasta and black people see leprachauns in trees at night? I mean, I know they had a run-in with him before, but that news story was ridiculous! The guy that says, "All y'all that saw the leprachaun say 'YEAH!' is almost as bad as Bubb Rubb and the WOOOO Woo! video.
