The Daily Nickel

1.  Chris Davis wants out - The negative influence of Mike Young's constant trade demands (it didnt just happen this year) is apparent when spare-ish guys like Chris Davis start asking for trades.  Yeah yeah, I know CD is tearing it up again (w/ another HR last night), but that's what he always does.  Dont worry, he'll strike out plenty come regular season time.   Still, with our track record of giving up on first basemen too early (Carlos Pena, Adrian Gonzalez), I wouldnt be trading CD anytime soon. 

2.  Mavs rally to beat GS - With Peja down, the Mavs started Brewer who helped the Mavs to an early 18pt deficit.  Fortunately we have Dirk and they dont.  We're now tied with the Lakers for 2nd with 14 games to go and a big one tomorrow when the Spurrrrrs come to town. 

3.  Sad story......and the reason I dont coach 3rd during softball games.

4.  Ignore responsibility and get your brackets done. Obama has.  Here are some tips....

5.  Well that was quick - Bachelor Brad and Emily are done.  She didnt like the idea that he was hooking up with a bunch of other girls while at the same time dating her, meaning she has apparently never seen the Bachelor before.  Where is that body-slamming fat kid when you need him....
