(yawn)
Kinda dull around here, huh? I mean, it's kinda dull if you grew up in a family where your older brother chased your younger brother around with a butcher's knife, screaming at the top of his lungs, "I'll kill you!"
I'm fairly certain The Colonel just ordered some signs from me.
Him:
Not him:
"The Colonel's dead and here we are still enjoying his chicken..."
But I digress. This, my friends, is a baseball blog.
JoePo weighs in on The Schill. Along with, topically, ethics.
Batgirl's humming along with Gene, Ace and the boys.
Apparently, we could take all that vitriol aimed at either condemning PT or exonerating him, and flay the Wollf-hater. Or exonerate him. Killion's original article.
Blog on, you crazy diamond.

Classic line.
The guy was steady on television for almost thirty years, did a ton of movies, and his most memorable role by far was the six minutes screen time in this film.
Plus he just bought signs, which upgrades him considerably in my book.

It was awesome. You would pick up a copy of Computer Currents and flip to the classifieds in the back, where people would just publish the numbers for their modem(s). Then, when you tried to call them up, they were busy pretty much all the time.

Oh does that bring back memories
I remember getting my first computer-and Atari 130xe-and i heard about this thing called compuserve. I begged dad to let me sign up for it, and we had some basic package where you got 40 hours a month and additional time was like $7 an hour.
I was sick like 2 weeks later and stayed home for 3 days playing MegaWars and You Guessed It on-line.
Next month when dad got the $400 american express bill, my CompuServe deal was taken away and I didn’t go on-line for another like 6 years.

Royce Ring placed on waivers
Ring has always been a favorite of mine. Given BB’s concern over the bullpen situation, and the clubs previous attempts at procuring a lefty to compliment Blevins, I think Ring could make a lot of sense.

If ever a game should have been called on account of wind, that one was it. Good thing Jerry Blevins didn't have to pitch; he's tall, skinny, and I could practically see one of the 40-mph gusts...sweeping him off the bump and pinning him to the left-field fence. --Mychael Urban

uncle milton
Have you all seen this quote he gave yesterday?
“I’m a winner,” he said. “When I went to the Dodgers [in 2004], after they hadn’t been to the postseason since ‘88, they went to the postseason. I went to the A’s in 2006. We weren’t supposed to do anything, and we went to the ALCS. I was with San Diego [in ‘07]. We were one win away from making the postseason, and I got hurt. Everywhere I go, people win. It’s not a surprise.”
Also, I couldn’t resist this part:
How many games will Bradley play?
On his first day at camp, he said he wanted to play 181, including the postseason. In January general manager Jim Hendry said: "We’re hopeful he plays 130 to 135 games.

He may have issues (as we all do), but you could not question his desire to win.

Sports Franchises as bar hook-ups
(not that I would know anything about hooking up in a bar)
We all heard about Julian Tavarez’s quote about the Washington Nationals. Seems like the Baltimore Sun came up with several other franchise/hook-up analogies.
Example:
Franchise: Boston Red Sox
At the bar, they are: The wicked smart girl in glasses who is doing shots, dancing on tables and acting way too loud. Rumor is she was all emo in high school and college, moping about how she’d be a bridesmaid for the rest of her life, but now she’s totally blossomed and pretty hot. She has some scars from her past, but it’s all good. They’ve pretty much faded. Truth be told, it was hilarious the first time she got a little wasted and belted out “Sweet Caroline” but now … not so much. Also, does she have to remind us all the time how smart she is?
Think: Tina Fey (post 2004)
