In an effort to save face less than 24 hours after being spurned by Florida coach Billy Donovan, the  University of Kentucky is about to announce a deal with Texas A&M head coach Billy Gillespie.  Yes, the same Billy Gillispie that supposedly signed a new deal with Texas A&M last week.

Here's why they hired him: Gillispie can flat out recruit.  He is energetic, he is a workaholic, he is relentless.  He is the anti-Tubby.  And, you can't really blame him for moving on from College Station, especially since one of his first concerns taking over the A&M program was how much A&M would care about football.  He doesn't have to worry about that at Kentucky.

This should be interesting.  And, it's got to be true because it's already been updated in Wikipedia.

Lightning Round:

• At least the Chicago White Sox won't be 0-162 this year, winning an entertaining game over Cleveland 4-3 yesterday in Chicago.  There was cause for concern as Sox lefty Mark Burhle had to leave the game after being drilled with a comeback on his pitching arm, but he seems okay.  What's really okay was the performance of Nick Massett, who went four plus innings, giving up only a run.  Tonight at the "house that greed built" it's the Minnesota Piranhas.
• Daryl Stingley's long, painful road has at last reached an end.  He will be remembered for the dignity he showed and the sincere desire to help others.
• I have never understood what makes people think Steve Stone is such a genius.  So, the guy was Harry Caray's caddy for fifteen years, big deal.  And, before there even is a sale, Stone is trying to position himself as a candidate for General Manager, or at very least, a role in the organization that will allow him to exact some revenge on Jim Hendry for sticking up for Dusty Baker and causing Stone and Chip Caray to bolt town after 2004.

• Joe Tiller is quickly turning in to Captain Quieg from "The Caine Mutiny."  Today bloggers, tomorrow he'll be looking for his strawberries.
• The Carolina Panthers, did what most do when their Weinke no longer works: Purchase a Carr.
• The Hatfield/McCoy feud wasn't a feud at all because the McCoys had a disorder that wasn't discovered yet.  Revisionist history meets designer drugs.
• Newt Gingrich aprende español a aspirar hasta la comunidad hispánica y para hacer la misma cosa que él dijo que los hispanos no deben hacer, que es habla en español. Un voto es un voto y un hipócrita es un hipócrita.
