09.22.08 SAINT ANDREW’S NET: EQUINOX

Saint Andrew’s Net is With Leather’s daily link dump.  Daily except weekends.  This is a union blog.

• The Sporting Blog breaks down all the weekend’s college football action, which saves me the trouble of writing about it.  Oh yeah, that’s me humping the air in celebration.
• on 205th is conducting voting on the NFL’s hottest cheerleader.  My vote goes to Melita Toniolo.  Okay, so she’s not technically an NFL cheerleader.  But hey, Lindsay Lohan isn’t 35, and I voted for her in the ‘04 presidential election.
• FanIQ bids a solemn farewell to Yankee Stadium.  And by “solemn farewell” I mean “joyful good riddance.”
• Vegas Watch looks back on baseball analysts’ season predictions.  This may shock you, but ESPN “experts” are could be replaced by chimpanzees and do a better job of prognostication.  Smell better, too.
• Sports by Brooks reports that the 104-year-old man who wasn’t going to throw out the first pitch at Wrigley got to throw out the first pitch after all.  So, uh, the curse is over?  Stupid f’n baseball.
