- Brad Penny's debut with the Giants was stellar. 8 innings pitched, 0 runs allowed. That's one way to ensure that your new teammates like you. It does beg the question, did Penny need to get released by the Red Sox to refocus himself, or is he just not tough enough to pitch in the AL East?
- Yesterday I was thinking back on my days as an employee of Tower Records in Davis and I remembered that Nickelback's first album actually was released on September 11, 2001. Coincidence? I think not. (PS: Check the product details HERE- it proves I didn't just make this up.)
- I've decided that the Cubs are at the height of their mediocrity right now. They are 6 games out of the Wild Card as of today. That means they are just good enough to give Cubs' fans a sliver of hope, and not bad enough to sell off some of their veterans for young prospects. Great work guys!
- Isn't it looking more like Alfonso Soriano's contract is worse than Barry Zito's? Which player would you rather have for the remainder of their contract?
- Many people say you can't put a price on love. The County Recorder's office says love costs $84.50.
- I'm playing electric guitar on stage, with a band tonight for the first time in over 10 years. Granted, it is the Live Band Karaoke gig, but I'm still hoping that everyone at the bar is so bombed that they don't realize how inept my playing might be.
- Peter King predicted the Bears and Patriots will face off in the Super Bowl this year! Even better, the Bears will start the playoffs with a bye, then beat the Vikings, and then beat the Packers in the NFC Championship game. Sound unrealistic? Well, yes. Yes it does.
- As unrealistic as King's Super Bowl prediction might be, he also predicted the Lions to win 3 games, and the Buccaneers to win 4 games. I'll take the under for both.
- I used to want Michael Crabtree to sign with Niner so I wouldn't have to hear about him every day on the radio. Now, I hope he vanishes into obscurity like former USC Trojan/Lion/Raider Mike Williams.
- Speaking draftees from 2005, is Maurice Clarette in jail? If he's not, he should be.
- Who in the world approved the new Grand Theft Auto game? Here's an official graphic:
Yeah- luckily this came out now, rather than when I was in high school or college. While I won't be playing the game, I at least hope Gay Tony is a savage. What's that? He's probably not? Damn.
Well, there's my quicklist today. Hopefully I'll soon write a fully fleshed out research paper about why I feel Nickelback was involved in the 9/11 attacks, but until then, enjoy your Thursday- and feel free to come out to the G St Pub tonight. Your singing will likely be better than my guitar playing!

Brad Penny never made it into the 7th inning in ANY of his starts in the AL. One game with the Giants and he's shutting out the Phillies for 8. The NL is beyond garbage.
Oh you better believe Mo Clarett is in jail. Toledo to be exact. If you go to the Ohio Dept. of Corrections website (which I HIGHLY recommend), you can see an updated prison photo of him. It's outstanding. Don't know if you remember your former neighbor in Nap, Ben Snyder, but you can look him up, too. He gets out in a month!!!
Do I remember Ben Snyder? Of course I remember him! My mom is still in touch with his mom so I knew he was in the joint.
Funny story, he's the person who, on the bus coming home from school one day, rudely told me that Santa Claus wasn't real. What a treat it was being family friends with him on Buckeye Lane!
I wonder if Santa ever visited him in the clink.
I'm sure he did, but he didn't have presents in his bag. By presents I mean good intentions and by bag I mean penis.
G$, that is a spectacular comment and it makes me wish two things:
1) That more people commented on this blog regularly.
2) That I could send you a box set of History Channel DVDs. Unfortunately, this blog is not sponsored... yet.
