The fact that the Los Angeles Dodgers' Russell Martin won the Gold Glove award over St. Louis' Yadier Molina isn't just ridiculous - it's laughable. A joke. The Gold Glove awards have been lacking credibility for some time - anybody remember Rafael Palmeiro's award at first base after playing less than 30 games there? - but it's almost at the point where they should be scrapped altogether. Because really, they mean nothing.

Martin is an outstanding player, and he's a much better hitter than Molina. But defensively, they're not in the same stratosphere. And with catchers, it's about more than just errors. It's holding runners on, throwing them out, calling a game, etc. In fact, I won't even have to make the argument for Molina. I'll just go ahead and let others do it for me, from both local and national viewpoints:

- Bernie Miklasz, columnist, St. Louis Post-Dispatch: Martin had the most errors (14) of any NL catcher. According to STATS LLC, Martin threw out only 28.7 percent of those who attempted to steal bases on him ... Only three catchers in MLB allowed more stolen bases than Martin (82) ... Molina: he led all MLB catchers in nailing base stealers, throwing out 23 of the 46 who challenged him (50 percent). He also led NL catchers in assists per nine innings. That only 46 steals were attempted on Molina tells us everything we need to know.

How does a manager go from “Boys, don’t even dare try to steal a bag on Yaddy Molina” to writing Martin’s name on the Gold Glove ballot when these same people exploited Martin for a 71.3 percent success rate in stolen bases?

- Rob Neyer, ESPN.com: Russell Martin benefited from the same (hitting) bias. He's not real strong against the running game, but otherwise he's solid. Still, if the evidence exists for his superiority to Yadier Molina, I've not yet seen it.

- BillJamesOnline, Fielding Bible Awards (best fielders in MLB at their positions): Move over, Pudge. Last year, Ivan Rodriguez and Yadier Molina were neck-and-neck in the battle for the Fielding Bible Award at catcher as they were named first or second on nearly every ballot. Molina maintained his incredible performance controlling the running game in 2007 throwing out 49% of would-be base stealers. Rodriguez’ drop from 46% last year to 26% this year convinced our voters to bestow the award on Molina.

- Jeff Gordon, StlToday.com: NL managers and coaches know if they give their runners the green light to run on Molina, bad things will happen. Runners get thrown out at second, runners get picked off first, potential big innings die . . . yes, it’s best not to run on Yadier. And yet these same NL managers and coaches decided that Russell Martin is the best defensive catcher in the NL. Interesting.

In giving us a tip that the new Jay-Z album is getting good reviews, The Big Lead points to a review in Rolling Stone.

The album, American Gangster is inspired by the new film of the same name, and the magazine gives it rave reviews.

In breaking down the album, Rolling Stone gives us a few examples of how Jay-Z got back to the lyrical style that made Jay one of the all-time greats. One of them was this:

"I need a personal Jesus, I'm in depeche mode/They say it's celestial, it's all in the stars/It's like Tony La Russa on how you play your cards."

Obviously, Jay is a very intelligent man, and astute baseball fan. But don't fret, Cubs fans. I'm sure Will Smith will drop a Lou Piniella reference in his next album.

Needless to say, Nebraska football fans are a teeny bit upset with the way their team has performed this season. Which is understandable when the once vaunted Blackshirt defense gives up 76 points. In one game. To the Kansas Jayhawks. And this wasn't a pick-up basketball game between the KU basketball team and Nebraska defensive players. This was on the football field.

As you might imagine, the fanbase is growing restless and want to see head coach Bill Callahan and defensive coordinator Kevin Cosgrove gone, and quickly. If you read this site on occasion, you know we specialize in seeking out the best and brightest of the internet sports message board sect. Let's see what Nebraska fans have to say, shall we?

- Huskerboard: "The only good thing going for Husker fans this fall is that Dr. Tom Osborne himself is back and deer season, period." - huskerjock

- Huskerpedia: "I'm a brand new member and this is my first post. Can anyone help me out in understanding just what happened?" - Red Five

- Huskerpedia: "The worst part about taking verbal shots from females is that 98% of them truly don't understand football. If you've never played, you really don't get it. It would be like me ripping on them for watching One Life to Live...something I know NOTHING about." - BigRedOhio

- RedOut: "Tom Osborne is a prick!!! for not firing these fuckers RIGHT NOW!

FIre ThiS FUckinG staFf RigHT FUCKING noW!!!

NOW.

NOW you douchebag.

I don't care about your word... FIRE THEM!" - RINGKONG

- Huskerboard: "Screw KC and everything in mizzou, by far the worst place to visit in America, worse than New Orleans after Katrina ripped through!" - jjamuss

- Huskerpedia: "Dear Coach Callahan,

As you have pointed out you are doing excellent in all aspects of your job. Your most recent example of excellence at Kansas provided a Husker record that I am sure will last for years, if not broken by Kansas State or Colorado.

Your level of job perfection may be wasted with us hayseeds here in the heartland. You can only carry a program on your back for so long. I think it is time to spread your wings and spread your wonderfulness elsewhere. Possibly the NFL or Australian rules football.

No need to wait until the end of the season. I say pack your bags now and head out. Most folks who follow Nebraska can't understand your magnificence because it is just so gosh darned complicated. Don't even say good bye. We don't deserve it. Just put Lincoln in your review mirror and keep going. You won't be disappointed!" - Nebraska1
