Pretty funny Onion article about Mussina sending all sorts of crazy article ideas to McSweeneys and having them rejected.

"My next submission I think has a really good shot of getting in—'Works Of Ernest Hemingway If Hemingway Were A Robot,'" Mussina added. "You got your obvious ones like 'The Amperage Also Rises,' and 'A Farewell To Cybernetic Arms.' Then Joba [Chamberlain], in the bullpen the other day jokingly suggested 'The Old Robot And The Sea,' which at first I thought was stupid. But the more I thought about it, it actually might be pretty funny to just sort of point out the inherent absurdity of the original premise. Joba's a funnier guy than he thinks."
