Breakfast Time Link Dump!

• In a week when Phillies fans were accused of being the worst sports fans in America by Gentlemen's Quarterly, they were also named #1 in Fan Loyalty. Stick to what you know GQ; ascots and designer cologne. Leave the lists to people who actually conduct research.

• MLB put out the list of Top 20 Jersey sales for 2010. The Cliff Lee sales refer to his combined Mariner and Ranger sales, but you can expect his ranking for 2011 will be even higher with Phillies fans. Four current Phillies made the list, with three of them in the top five.  

• Forbes Valuation for all baseball teams. The Yankees are obviously number 1, but their revenue/fan number is actually below the Red Sox. It pays to be from the biggest city in the US. There is enough information here for me to look through for months. Did you know you could build 3 Citizens Bank Parks for the cost of Yankee Stadium? True story. I'll be examining some of these numbers further in a later post... 

• Statistical analysis of BASEketball from Deadspin. A movie well ahead of it's time...  

• Fellas, get your ladies some overpriced, less than clever Phillies gear from Victoria's Secret. They've expanded their line this year!!! $36.50 for a T-shirt sounds about right... "it's soooooooo cute!"

• ESPN teamed with Tommy Hillfiger to bastardize the 4 most popular jerseys in sports. Personally I like it when teams change jerseys. I liked it when the Cowboys started sporting white shoulders. But theses styles are all a popped collar away from being MTV's Rock N' Jock uniforms. 

• In "Complete Waste of our Tax Dollars" news, the Barry Bonds perjury trial is underway. I would love to see what the tab is once this whole thing is over with. The prosecution is really marching out a dog and pony show with a cast of questionable characters claiming they once witnessed Bonds and an object that looked like a syringe in the same zip code. I've gone on record more than once as saying that Barry Bonds is the greatest baseball player ever. Please, disagree... All the muscles in the world didn't help Barry Bonds hit .339 as a 35-39 year old.  

• Logan Morrison of the Marlins is quickly becoming a Twitter sensation. Check him out... he's already cowering in fear of the R2C2 Monster!
