Red Sox Fantasy

Just heard on NECN that Clemens will likely suit up soon. The question is, with whom will he play? Curt Schilling, while not disclosing any details, said on WEEI that he feels pretty good about the situation--i.e., Clemens playing for the Sox. I can't even imagine what it would be like to Clemens, Schilling, Becket, and Wakefield in the starting rotation with Timlin, Foulke, and Papelbon coming out of the pen. One word: unbeatable. Any thoughts on whether the fantasy--Clemens closing out his career in a Sox uniform--will come true?

Tuesday Links

Happy Tuesday, everyone. I’m hoping things will calm down enough to allow for more sustained posting, but here are some offerings for this afternoon. I’m trying to track down a podcast of an interview with NT Wright and will post it when, and if, it reveals itself to me.

MSNBC has an article up that gives air to some criticisms of The Da Vinci Code. You can find it here. HT: Jim Davila.

Jim links to an article which forecasts the effect that the Hamas political victory will have on Palestinian archaeology.

Meanwhile, Mark asks for iGod’s assistance in solving the Synoptic problem.

Bronson Arroyo

I already miss Bronson Arroyo. It was dissapointing to see him traded, especially as I feel, despite some difficulties last season, that he's a very versatile pitcher. Now we see that he's an overall versatile player. Not only is he pitching extremely well with the Reds, he's also hitting for the bleachers. The Sox should've kept the guy and used him in pitch hitting situations.

Gospel of Judas

NPR had a blurb on the "recently released" Gospel of Judas. After describing the circumstances of its discovery and the process of its restoration, the narrator concludes with the thought that (and I'm paraphrasing) perhaps next Easter we will be reflecting on the sacrifice of Judas.

Anyway, Mark Goodacre, over at the NT Gateway Weblog, provides some commentary on and plenty of links about the Gospel of Judas. Check it out here.
