  • Idiot East Coasters

    Fucking New York know-it-alls. Some smart ass on the New York Times website writes in a comment that Matt Holliday doesn’t deserve the MVP even though he led 2 out of 3 Triple Crown categories, because his home-road splits are .376/123/82/1.157 vs. .301/93/55/.859 (Avg./H/RBI/OPS). His supposed MVP? Jimmy Rollins, who was 20th in average with…

  • Yeah, He’s Barry Bonds, But Come On…

    After the disheartening news for Giants fans that Barry Bonds might be out for the whole season, a Sports Illustrated online poll shows a full 25% of readers think the Giants will now finish in fifth (last) place in the NL West. Apparently, 25% of readers have forgotten that Todd and the Toddlers are playing…

  • Poor George Steinbrenner

    Boo hoo. Poor old George. Interleague play isn’t going to let his Yankees pad their lead on the Red Sox this year, so it must be unfair. This man is the worst sport in the world, I swear. Who else complains about their schedule when they are in first place in their division and make…

  • An Infamous Birthday

    So today is the 30th anniversary of the Yankee Ron Blomberg’s walk against Boston’s Luis Tiant, initiating the era of the infamous Designated Hitter. Even though I’m not a player, or a journalist, or anyone with a semi-educated opinion on the subject, I thought I’d weigh in on the subject. The DH rule is an…

  • Strike Three! You’re Outta There!

    I’m picking Jennie up from work this evening at Build-A-Bear, but I have to wait until she’s finished closing the store. Since I have my iBook with me, I thought I’d write an entry. Isn’t that thoughtful of me? In my boredom last week, I decided to look around and see what kind of anti-Bud…

  • Bored, Bored, Bored

    So there are apparently only two times I write in this diary – when I’m feeling depressed and/or bored. Today it’s more the latter than the former. I can’t seem to figure out this bug I’m trying to crack. It’s one of the few still outstanding for release, so it’s not like I can leave…

  • Greetings from San Francisco

    So I’m writing this while I’m in San Francisco at JavaOne, so I won’t even get it posted until next week when I get back to an internet connection. Right now I’m at a Giants–Padres game at Pacific Bell Park. I wanted to come to the game, but it’s really cold and I don’t really…

  • Never Try to Outdrink a Sikh!

    Boy, do I need to learn not to let big Sikhs talk me into drinking too much! We had a lunchtime party to celebrate our 1.5 release yesterday. We went to Rio Grande in LoDo, where they make some fantastic margaritas. I didn’t have any breakfast, so I already should have exercised more caution. I…
