  1. Ben Revere has 22 SBs in 83 games played this year, only 1 SB off the top 10 AL leaderboard

    1. He's also in second place in the AL for outfielder errors, with 7. I'm just mentioning it because I'm a little shocked he's in second- judging by his range factor putting him in the top five, I would expect him to get a little more leeway if he misses a catch. I guess I don't know how many of those seven are throwing errors as opposed to fielding.

      1. Almost all of them are the ball bouncing away from him giving a runner an extra base. He knows he has to get rid of the ball quick with his weak arm, but sometimes he rushes too much.

  2. MagUidhir: How are 13 combined runs scored but only 2 highlights on Gameday?

    Oh, it gets worse- I just went back to that Gameday, and there are 3 more highlights shown- Zombie Jones HR, Cervelli's RBI, and something for Granderson. The Yanks may not have scored the most runs, but they win the video battle 3 to 2.

  3. oh, this is too cool for words. Seriously.

    There is an amazing species of gliding lizard which looks like a miniature dragon. They breed in the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia and look like mini versions of flying Toruks from Avatar – if you have seen the film.

    They spread out the skin attached to their ribs (“wings”) to glide from one tree to another. Although they can not sustain powered flights like all modern reptiles, they can glide over 8 meters.

    1. That one is darker and not green or white, so it must be Drogon. I'm surprised they were able to catch that one without being burned and eaten.
