We waited long enough, but at the 29th pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, Jerry Angelo and the Chicago Bears selected Wisconsin offensive tackle Gabe Carimi.

The Dodgers are banged up in the rotation right now. We've got Chan Ho Round II in the rotation, Kershaw the Kid in there, and another kid named Eric Stults in there, not to be confused with the drug dealer from Pulp Fiction grubbing on cereal in a bathrobe pissed off that Vincent Vega is calling his house telling him he's bringing over his OD'ing date, nor to be confused with the guy who portrayed teen biker Rocky Dennis - the other one who spells his last name with a "u" and who after pitching a shutout last week said the last time he pitched a shutout was sometime in Little League, he thinks. So the question continues to pop up, why not Kuo?
