Links of the Day 8/25/11

Good afternoon. I hope you aren't reading this from the path of an imminent hurricane.

Wondering who Thome and Kubel were claimed by? Indians and White Sox.

The draw for the Champions League Group Stage was today.

The Colts have signed Kerry Collins juuuuuuuuuuuuust in case.

SCOREBOARD
Norwegian Royal Cup
Aalesund 3, Rosenborg 1 - Missed this one a while back, but now to get back into European comps next year, RBK has to finish in the top 3 of the domestic league. Seems unlikely.
Carling Cup
Blackburn 3, Sheffield Wednesday 1 - But Blackburn advances in one of their two association tournaments! And Sheffield Wednesday.... what a delightful name!
MLB
Baltimore 6, Minnesota 1 - Those Orioles pitchers man... TOUGH
California 8, Chicago 0 - Again, the Sox claimed Kubel. Could be a BOON for them the rest of this season.
