Random Musings from a Random Mind

Here is where I fill this space with random thoughts because I didn't pay too much attention to last nights game. In between solving the world's problems with Wooderson on the deck and going into the house to get another beer, we'd periodically stop by the couch and lean over Cuz Dimples to see the score. Schilling looked better than his last two starts. He didn't give up 5 runs in the 1st, and I thank him for that. Papelbot scared me a little, I'm not going to lie. Honey, can hear me? It's OK- just don't almost blow it again.

I know we all have or have had those pesky Yankmee fans in our life. God help them if they come with the accent too, but it's not those fans that bother me the most. It's the people who find out I'm a Sox fan and simple decide to take that as a free ticket to be a "Yankmee Fan for the Day". You people get under my skin. Except this year. I'm going to knock on wood, throw chicken bones on the floor and bust out my free 10 minutes with the Psychic Friends Network for saying this but; The Sox look like they have a shot. Now chill out, I know we have issues but here is the key: We don't have as many issues as the rest of the AL East.

I decided this year that I didn't waste enough time on the Internet, so on top of writing this blog I also play Fantasy Baseball. I've smoked every opponent every single week. Except last week, I lost. I was horrified. Embarrassed! You know why? My opponents team was made up of Pittsburgh Pirates players. Now settle down ND Bucco- I'm just saying that to get you all riled up. My opponent team was actually a split between Pirates and Yankee's and they STILL beat me. I blame it all on Schilling and his awful outing. I never blame Wakefield. Even at his worst, I still love that guy. He is to me like what Trot is to El Guapo.

The Scripps National Spelling Bee kicks off soon. Last chance to get your bets in. A.J. Daulerio gave a great run down of the whos who in the Spelling Bee world. My personal favorite was the kid who almost hyperventilated between every single letter last year. Place hands over mouth and breath rapidly. Try not to look like a total dork. Mission: unsuccessful. The girl who won it all last year, won it by spelling: ursprache. To be quite honest, it peeves me when 11 year olds are smarter than me.

This tid bit of news is quite disturbing. Julian "Batshit" Tavarez, has come out to say that when he was a child his fall back career was that of an adult film star. Oh yah, I'm talking about this guy. The one who looks like a stoned Freddy Krugger. If the threat of him becoming a porn star doesn't bring the entire multi-national adult film industry to a grinding halt, I just don't know what would. But I guess if this guy didn't make that happen, Jooles might have a chance.

In other sporting news The 2007 Cheese-Rolling at Cooper's Hill Gloucester took place last weekend. Apparently the cheese travels at up words of 80 miles an hour. The people don't look like they are going quite that speed but you tend to slow down when your spine catches on a spiky rock. Fortunately, no cheese was hurt in the making of this film. Big E, that's where you should have been last weekend. Tumbling ass over tea kettle following a wagon wheel of cheese. If I did that I know I would be signing " Hanker for a hunk of, a piece or slice, or chunk of - I hanker for a hunk of CHEESE"

In closing, I know you people are out there. I've talk to you. I've shared beers with you! With some of you I've shared more. Why aren't you giving us feedback. As much as El Guapo and I like hearing ourselves talk ( more so him than me- he's got quite a healthy ego that boy!) we would love to hear what you have to say. Are you obsessed like us or are you just enjoying watching our manic depressive schizophrenic cathartic episodes in order to make yourselves feel better about your own issues? Hmm...that's what I thought.
