I still have to clean out my closet... See, tomorrow some people from Verizon are coming over to install a FIOS hookup and it's apparently coming in through the closet. FIOS would be cool, but I will never be able to take advantage of it. I've decided that my apartment is too small, so I'm moving to a bigger place in November. Hooray for that ( Read more... )

It feels good to figure something out after a long time, no matter how trivial. I just figured something out from 1995. So back in 8th grade I was listening to a song on the radio and I asked my friend if they knew who it was. They said it was Queensryche, which was not correct. I tried looking for the song through some limited channels, but no ( Read more... )

I went to the Mariners game last night. Woohoo! 101 losses! It's history in the making, the first ever team to lose over 100 games while paying its players more than $100M. A few of my friends had bought tickets on Wednesday, but I had originally not planned on going. Things changed, so I went to get myself a ticket in the same general area. ( Read more... )

This past weekend I travelled eastward.  I spent most of Saturday hanging out with my brother and we went to the Red Sox game.  This was my only game at Fenway this season.  Oh well, at least I got one in ( Read more... )

The Olympics were cool... but I'm glad they're over.  I spent waaay too much time watching them.  Not that I didn't spend a whole lot of time this weekend watching football, but that is a different problem.  Speaking of football, the Patriots are consistently making interesting roster moves, which is making me very curious to see what their ( Read more... )

On Sunday I plan on floating down a river while drinking beer.  To prepare for this, I needed to buy a floatation device of some sort.  I tried Costco since one of my friends was successful there.  Instead I walked away with 2.75 lbs. of blueberries, 2 lbs. of cheese, and 4 lbs. of bacon.  I'm awesome. 

Manny Ramirez and two minor leaguers for Jason Bay.  Really?  That's the best they could do?

I've never believed any of this "Manny is moving" talk that's been happening before every trade deadline of the past 5 years, and I didn't really buy into this one either.  And an hour ago it seemed that the deal was once again dead.  Surprise!

There have been a decent number of complaints over the number of Red Sox on the All-Star team, 7.  Some people seem to be implying that it's because Terry Francona got to pick some of the roster. No. He picked 6 total players, none of them Red Sox.  Here are my thoughts on the 7 who were picked to go.
