…it’s a beautiful day.
Unfortunately, I’m not really getting a chance to enjoy it. I’m stuck writing two papers today for my Suffolk classes, one which is due Friday and one which is due the following Friday. Then I’ve got journal entries, success factors and internal controls to write too, IN ADDITION to the two papers. […]

Ugh

I cannot believe the Spurs blew a 20-point lead against the Lakers. I mean, seriously, you’re on the road in Game One, it would be a huge win and they just can’t keep the lead. Now they’re down four with 7 seconds left.
Kobe Bryant is incredible. Two first half points, and then he goes on […]

Went to the Sox game tonight and watched them come up big with a 7-6 win. While Wakefield got staked to an early 5-1 lead thanks to a two-run double and a two-run homer by Mike Lowell, the Sox let the Brewers back into the game with sloppy defense. Luckily, the Brewers played even worse […]

Back to baseball

I’m about to head to Fenway for the Sox game, but the weather might not cooperate.
Class was class, but now the real fun begins. I honestly don’t mind my classes at Suffolk. There’s some cool people in the class with me, the topics are interesting and helpful and the professors are pretty good. I’m just […]

Day 5: Home is where the Hall is

April 8th, 2008 · No Comments

When I was seven or eight years old, my parents took me to the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY. I barely remember it. I do remember thinking it was a lot of walking and there were some cool things there, but I don’t remember anything specific about it. I couldn’t tell you the […]

That’s not how that works

I don’t know whether to laugh or be horrified. I’ll let you be the judge. Either way, I am shocked that someone thinks a .22 is the only way to put a hole in the wall. Maybe he could of tried, oh, I don’t know, a HAMMER?

Governor Pet-erson

March 21st, 2008 · No Comments

Oh, it’s a horrible pun, and I realize his name is spelled Paterson, but eff you.
David Paterson hasn’t done anything illegal. But after the Governor who is leaving was embroiled in a sex scandal with prostitutes, you probably want that first speech to be something about bringing morality back to the Governor’s office or removing […]

It’s that time of year — fantasy baseball season is upon us.
After my numerous blog posts here lauding Tony Romo, cursing Drew Brees and chastising that injured ass Larry Johnson, I finished first in my football league’s regular season thanks to basically Romo, Greg Jennings, Wes Welker and the Minnesota defense. But then I dropped […]

Best. Interview. Ever.

March 3rd, 2008 · No Comments

Went to the Celtics game tonight and saw another win — the Celtics fifth in a row (and my second in a row, as I was at the Cleveland game on Wednesday).
While Garnett had a big game, Scalabrine didn’t. Scals did get some good time on the exercise bike, but he did do this interview […]

Sent packing?

No big blog post today, but this is a must-see. Brett Myers having a little fun with teammate Kyle Kendrick in Spring Training.

The St. Louis Post Dispatch explains:

PUNKED The Phillies traded Kyle Kendrick to the Yomiuri Giants of the Japanese League on Sunday, in return for pitcher Kobayashi Iwamura — at least Kendrick thought so.
“Do […]
