This is a red letter day for Mac gamers.

Historically, Crunchgear has been an unreliable source of Apple-related rumors, though leaked information through Verizon’s ad agency seems plausible, especially given the number of Verizon rumors that have been circulating.

Which is to say, “This source has been unreliable in the past, but because we’ve been making up rumors about this subject in the past, and they happen to know the right company to say that their information comes from, we’re going to believe it.”

Braden, an Oakland Athletics left-hander, fired a perfect game against the Tampa Bay Rays in a 4-0 victory at the Coliseum.

As his grandmother said so poignantly after the game, “Stick It, A-Rod.”

Major League Baseball could seize the Texas Rangers as soon as this week in an effort to prevent the team’s creditors from pushing the club into bankruptcy.

[T]here will be five iPad and five iPhone Apple Design Award winners announced at WWDC 2010. There is no requirement to enter and winners will be selected from the App Store based on criteria that includes design, technical excellence, innovation, quality, technology adoption and performance.

No mention of Desktop awards.

I’m more surprised that they’re still making them in 2010.

Gaby Darbyshire, Gawker COO:

The California Court of Appeal has recognized that these protections apply to online journalists: O’Grady v. Superior Court, 139 Cal. App. 4th 1423 (2006). Thus, it is abundantly clear that under the law a search warrant to remove these items was invalid.

Gawker’s interpretation of the law will de facto make it impossible to convict ‘online’ journalists for a felony under almost any circumstances.

Alex Rodriguez:

He just told me to get off his mound. I was a little surprised. I’ve never quite heard that, especially from a guy that has a handful of wins in his career. I’ve never even heard of that in my career and I still don’t know. I thought it was pretty funny, actually.

The number of baseball games I’ve played total, at any level, is much closer to the number of World Series games A-Rod has played, but even I know you don’t cross the bump unless you’re on the bump.

Triple plays are gems, but they aren’t so rare that a team ought to go more than 40 years between.

The Yankees had, by far, the longest triple-play slump in MLB; the sombrero of shame now falls to the Toronto Blue Jays, who haven’t turned three since September 21, 1979. This means that today, for the first time, every MLB team has turned a triple play during my life time.

For reference, the Houston Astros have turned 9 triple plays in that span. The most triple plays during that span is by the Washington Nationals, who’ve turned 11 – all while wearing a different red-white-and-blue, that of the Montreal Expos. The league average is 5.6 triple plays since June 3, 1968. All but 8 teams have had triple killings in the 21st Century, the balance (except the Blue Jays) did so during the 1990s.

Wow.
