Late Monday afternoon, Ichiro Suzuki was traded from the Mariners to the Yankees. Last night, Death Cab For Cutie lead singer Ben Gibbardreleased this tribute song he wrote a few years ago about the then-Mariners outfielder. (Thanks to @BryanAGraham for the link.)

Fact: All local announcers are homers. It doesn't matter if it's TV or radio, local announcers root for the home team. Sure, some folks like White Sox TV guyKen "Hawk" Harrelson and Yankees radio guyJohn Sterling are way over the top, but the bottom line is "local = homer." However, when local announcers cross over to do a national game, you'd think they put the homerism away for a few hours. That wasn't the case Saturday, when Phillies broadcaster Tom McCarthy called the Philadelphia-San Francisco game for Fox. Listen to the depression in McCarthy's voice when Matt Cain homered off Cole Hamels and then listen to him go nuts when Hamels returned the favor and homered off Cain.

Yes, I'm well aware of thisMinka Kelly story. I've also seen this story about the actress with an extra (fake) body part. Lastly, I linked to this video of hurdler Michelle Jenneke one day last week, so no need to keep submitting that link.

Now we just need a video of someone using the gadget shown below and the Shake Weight at the same time. (Thanks to Shawn, of Columbia, Mo., and Chris Winnay, of Shelburne, Vt., for the video.)
