Afternoon Baseball

I'm killing time while I push off this A-Rod piece, I know. But links are crowd-pleasers, no?

1. Muse, those purveyors of over-the-top madness, have the most daft video ever for the prog-rock absurdity of "Knights Of Cydonia."
The Wild West, cowboys, 1970s-style robots, the stocks (like, the prisoner-holding ones, not Wall Street), laser guns, motorcycles, vultures picking at skeletons, unicorns, a really hot blond woman, Kung Fu moves and preparation, cheesy mustaches, and somehow the song powering all of this. It's the greatest bad music video. Ever.

2. Think there's a 9/11 conspiracy. Maddox doesn't.

3. Hardly a definitive (or even well-reasoned) source, but Yahoo! Answers looks at whether Derek Jeter should be MVP.

4. If you go onto Google, Derek Jeter clutch gives you 132,000 results, while A-Rod chokes gets 119,000 and Alex Rodriguez chokes brings back 111,000.
Meanwhile, Gary Sheffield attitude gives you 237,000 hits. Interesting.
