lines, lines, everywhere a line

Random thought #1: After watching the highlights of the Phils clinching the National League last night at Chavez Ravine, I have to think it's a little weird that Brad Lidge has gone the entire season without blowing even one save opportunity. Really? That's not even a little strange, particularly given his history?

Random thought #2: Be sure to check out my "behind enemy lines" post at warblogle.com. Yes, my friend Kurt is a shameless Aub provacateur, and yes, he's not above promoting himself and his own blog relentlessly. You can read it for my sake, no? OK ... maybe not.

In any case, here are this weekend's lines, coming -- as always -- direct from NCAAFlines.com.

(Note: Clemson's fallen quite a ways from the beginning of the season -- from potential NC contenders to getting two points AT HOME against Tech. By the way, check out Dr. Saturday's blog post about the ACC, and how the championship is basically still wide open halfway through the season.)
