SportsFilter: The Monday Huddle:
A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.
"I don't ever want to feel rushed to do a deal. I think when you feel rushed to do a deal, you make a deal that you may not have wanted to do. So we are going to look at our options. We feel there are still good options out there, and we will see where they take us."
Saw that quote from Nationals GM Mike Rizzo talking about finding a firstbaseman (specifically he was talking about Adam LaRoche and Derek Lee or signing someone to a long term deal) and all I could think of was that he must have felt extremely rushed when he signed Jason Werth.

Everyone who struggles with Asian style eating needs a pair of those "chosticks".

Good names, geekyguy.
Darlington in the English Conference Premier League are also known as The Quakers. The most unnerving chant in football must be their fans singing "Quaker Aggro, Quaker Aggro".
