UP AT 6: BEDARD FOR CY YOUNG (OK, WAIT A FEW WEEKS)

What you might have missed while convincing the "general manager" you were ready to come off the "physically unable to perform list."
  • The pitching line for Navan, Ont.'s own Erik Bedard across his past four starts with the lousy Orioles: Twenty-nine innings, 12 hits, two earned runs, seven bases on balls and 41 strikeouts. What kind of Cy Young buzz are his friends in the Baltimore media going to whip up for him, though? Probably not much.
  • Who's afraid of a tall nude black woman? Serena Williams has posed undraped (which is different from naked) for Jane magazine. The link might be unsafe for work, but try it on colleagues who believe she and her sister Venus look like men anyways.
  • Canada's in a tough in men's basketball at the Pan-Am Games in Brazil. Leo Rautins' team lost by 19 in their first game vs. Puerto Rico yesterday and has to face the host country later today. Odessa, Ont.'s Aaron Doornekamp made a late-game three-pointer and of course, cishoops.ca is providing reports on all the action in the Canadians' pool.
  • Sadly, Superbad seems to have captured way too much of our high school experience. Seth Rogen is a god.

That's all for now. Send your

    This does look wickedly funny, although 40 Year Old Virgin remains the comedy gold standard until further notice.

    Superbad looks kind of like a smarter version of Accepted, which also starred Jonah Goldberg (the burly lad). I liked Accepted and even went to South Keys to see it — myself and a family member might have been the only people over the age of 25 in the theatre.
