If Oliver Perez is the crazy girlfriend that you have hot passionate sex with but is afraid may stab you in the jugular in the middle of the night, then Anibal is her sister.

MILWAUKEE—The Brewers’ playoff push has run afoul of an unusual distraction, as sources close to the organization confirm that newly acquired husky starting pitcher C.C. Sabathia and sizable power-hitting first baseman Prince Fielder continue to visualize one another as a 6’7” chili cheese dog and a 260-pound hamburger with all the trimmings, respectively.
Team insiders say the problem has become a serious disruption, with numerous incidences of each player tying a bib around his neck, holding a knife and fork in their outstretched hands, and chasing the other around the ballpark.

If you haven’t heard of Bon Iver yet, you need to check out his album, For Emma, Forever Ago. Justin Irvin, the guy behind Bon Iver, holed up in a cabin for a few months and came up with this amazing collection of songs. I think if I went to a cabin for three months in the middle of nowhere, my story might turn out more like The Shining than this. Still, these songs are phenomenal and only get better the more you listen to them. The track above is Skinny Love, which I grabbed off the Jagjaguwar website. Gotta love labels who actually put up MP3s!
