Good news Cubs fans

November 10, 2008 | 7 Comments

Cather Geovany Soto was named National League Rookie of the Year today. He received all but one first place vote. Soto is the first Cub to win the award since Kerry Wood won in 1998.
This doesn’t really take the sting out though, does it?

Midweek Rant

October 2, 2008 | 1 Comment

I’m all about getting the biggest bang for your buck. Shop around, compare prices, buy wisely. It’s the smart thing to do. But don’t beg. Don’t mooch. People who mooch beers here at the bar drive me crazy. I shouldn’t care too much I guess. I’m still getting  my money right? But you know what [...]

Road trippin with Woody

July 23, 2008 | 10 Comments

Since this is Yankee Stadium’s final season, Woody thought we should make a road trip to see it before the last game. Since I had nothing better to do I agreed. I know I’ve been slacking majorly with the blog lately so I thought I’d keep a running diary of the trip for both of [...]

To Moms

May 11, 2008 | 3 Comments

This is for the mothers who have sat up
all night with sick toddlers in their arms,
wiping up barf laced with Oscar Mayer
wieners and cherry Kool-Aid saying,
‘It’s okay honey, Mommy’s here.’
Who have sat in rocking chairs for hours on end
soothing crying babies who can’t be comforted.
This is for all the mothers who show up at
work with [...]

Today is…

April 22, 2008 | 3 Comments

…Earth Day. Go recycle something.
Today is also the 25th anniversary of War Games starring Matthew Broderick.
On today’s date in 1994 the world’s largest lollipop was made in Denmark. [Insert your own joke here.]
On tomorrow’s date in 1985 New Coke was introduced. It sucked. Regular Coke isn’t much better.
That’s all for now. I’ll post something again [...]

Irish humor

March 19, 2008 | Leave a Comment

I know it’s a little after St. Patty’s Day, but I don’t really care. Read this anyway.
What It Means To Be Irish
1) You will never play professional basketball.
2) You swear very well.
3) At least one of your cousins is a fireman, cop, bar owner, funeral home owner or holds political office.
4) You think you sing [...]
