First note: Rick Ankiel has fallen way off his hot streak. Mebbe the hoopla spread by me and everyone else killed him, but since that 7 RBI game, he’s played another 14 games, with 7 hits in 49 at bats (hope I counted right), which counts for a .143 avg over that time. He’s had […]
Before I get to the real post, huge props to 30 Rock for the Emmy win! I honestly don’t care about a lot of TV, and really don’t watch much of it at all, but 30 Rock is definitely on the very short list. There was some arm-pumping going on in that hotel room when […]
(I guess I just throw my favorite posts from my main blog here, now. I really like this one; I think it really touches on my passions, for I do love baseball) I was looking at the very trusty MLB.com when I saw that The Cardinals had a 16-4 rout of the Pirates. Impressive, but […]
I was looking at the very trusty MLB.com when I saw that The Cardinals had a 16-4 rout of the Pirates. Impressive, but not the most notable part of it. Flashback: in 2000, Rick Ankiel was a young pitcher, very promising. Everyone had big expectations after a great regular season. Suddenly, one day, he loses […]
Who decided that “oversight” should have two opposing definitions? They’re not complete opposites, but close. I thought this was a nice find on the answers page for it: oversightn Definition: care, supervisionAntonyms: ignorance, neglect n Definition: failure, omissionAntonyms: attention, care, recollection, remembrance, success Oh well. Who really cares, anyways. I had the wonderful opportunity to […]
I got home from Toronto just two days ago (Monday). For only two weeks with my life carried on a hard disk with me, it seems like an awful lot has changed. An annoying, but not critical, change has been the lack of my mac. All you mac haters, rejoice: there was one flaw in […]
I don’t usually blog like this, but I had a semi-moment of inspiration, only being semi- because it might be complete crap. Well, I was thinking about sorting when I thought about using math to quicken the process. This most obviously works with numbers, though I think it can be used for other stuff as […]
(I don’t have the dedication right now to edit that last one. Whatever. But I did write this one in my main blog. I wasn’t careful with this one at all, just kind of spilling and watching it flow towards the valley in floor, but I like it. Opinions? Better or worse than when I […]
Touring Toronto is strange. Even saying that is strange. You really can’t tour home, right? “Tour” suggests that I’m going to a far away land to see things I haven’t seen and take a first look at new sights. I should know all of this, and I do have vague memories of places, but not […]
With computer in hand, it’s like I never left home.Leaving from Austin yesterday morning, my family’s been driving up to Toronto to visit family and see how things are going. In the past, I always remember the road trips being a serious drag. Little space, little to do, long hours staring out the window, bored […]
