By Otis Anderson, on August 12th, 2011% Exactly two weeks ago, the Giants were in first place by four games. Then, a lot of bad baseball happened. Now they are a full game out of first, and probably should thank the Diamondbacks for being so polite as to not run away with the division while the Giants were busy being terrible.

Usually, through the beginning of June, a team with exceptional starting pitching — including a two-time Cy Young award winner, a lefty that’s tossed a no-no and… whatever the really good Matt Cain is — isn’t anchored by a sophomore and a journeyman. Usually. Yet it is the case of the Giants, at . . . → Read More: The Unlikely Aces
By Otis Anderson, on June 9th, 2011% There’s a villain in one of later (and crappier) seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer who, for some reason, can switch back and forth from male to female. Because this may look odd, the villain has a spell which causes anyone who sees the transformation to instantly forget about it.
