    If you think about it, keep Steve McCoy and his wife Molly in your prayers today, as Molly is having surgery.

    It’s great season to be a Red Sox fan, big lead and the Yanks having their Job like struggles. It’s not ‘78 and anything can happen but the playoffs should happen.

    Any half-way predictions on the World Series?

    If anybody is interested in watching some dodgeball videos, feel free to take a look. I have had fun making them.

    I wanted to show everyone something fun and interesting.

    While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles. Now, while doing this draw the number “6″ in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change direction and there’s nothing you can do about it!

    Cineaste–I must be the exception to the rule.

    It’s one of at least a couple more I can think of, Zoner, my friend:

    -You’re a Cubs fan and still capable of producing logical sentences.
    -You’re a Cubs fan and Cards fans (at least on this site) talk to you.

    :)

    Jason, I’m no Cards or Cubs fan, but did you realize that the Cubs are actually 4 games ahead of the Cards when making that post? Just a thought…
    Meanwhile, my Braves are sittin’ pretty - 1.5 games behind the Mets. It shouldn’t be long now…

    I live in Jacksonville. 3 games on the docket for fox this afternoon: Giants/Dodgers, Cubs/Astros, and Cards/Phils.

    Houston is 870 miles away.

    Philly is 854 miles away.

    Chicago is 1,063.

    And St. Louis is 900.

    Why on earth is my fox affiliate showing the Cubs and Astros, instead of the Cards and Phillies?

    I hate FOX’s “Game of the Week,” or whatever it’s called. It makes no sense to force people to watch one game and not be able to watch the other games they schedule. For example, I’m very used to having every Braves game available to watch due to TBS, SportSouth, or FSN South. When the Braves are picked for a Saturday afternoon game, they don’t show it in my area. No one else would be allowed to broadcast the game because FOX has exclusive rights to every game on Saturdays before, I believe, 7 PM EST.
    The other reason I hate watching games on FOX is that my local FOX station in Savannah hasn’t been broadcasting in HD for the past few months. (I was able to watch every “24″ episode this past season in HD except for the last two because of my local affiliate.)
    Talk about frustrating.

    I have listed some new posts on my blog (which I do pretty near daily) if any of you care to take a look.

    Hey, you procreated… and it worked!:P So, here is my question: At what age will you give him/her a handgun?

    Oh, I’m almost positive that s/he will pop outta there with a Baby Glock. ;)

    Thanks guys!
    First he/she will get a small single shot 22 rifle at age of 6 then at about 8 or 10 a shotgun then maybe at about 12 a 22 pistol. The socialist state of Illinois requires gun owners and handlers to have Firearms Owner Identification Card FOID. The FOID application will be in the mail upon birth!

    This will be a two-week edition of Open Blog Friday, so I’m not going to post another one this week.

    Man, talk about lazy. Is it really that much work? I know it must be tough to come up with your pithy little phrases, but I’d be glad to pinch hit for you:

    Tim, it sounds like you need a staff for your blog.
