Presenting Week 4 of Random Notes...

  • Nothing like a little excitement in the 7th inning, huh? After watching Stelton's blow-up with the catcher/ump at home plate, I was reminded of the good 'ol days when Paul was playing third and yelling at everyone under the sun. Let's keep it under control, guys. Remember the best way to trash talk is to win.
  • I drive past Northwestern every day on my way to work. In that time, I have never seen a good looking girl. Ever! How is that possible? (Editor's note: That hurts.)
  • Not even Bobby Z's triple will change my mind about my "slow-motion" comments for him last week.
  • That being said, Bobby was involved with the non-double play that should have ended the second game, and had it been called correctly by Stelton's pal Slim, would have gone down as one of the top plays in Legends' history.
  • What ever happened to Johnathan Lipnicky?
  • Have you been reading the email exchange between Paul and Patrick all week about why they aren't playing basketball? Tell me they don't sound like a couple breaking up. So sad, so sad.
  • How is it possible that our bathroom stinks worst than the elephant house at the Lincoln Park Zoo? It is unreal.
  • Nothing says nasty like Chet talking dirty to Elizabeth about things I don't even want to know about.
  • Last night we found a 2nd baseman in Joey and we also found that we can win a close game, which is something we haven't done in a long time.
  • There is nothing funnier than listening to Tony yell at himself after missing a ball. It always makes me laugh.
  • This just in... US magazine reports that Disney spent over a million bucks to remove some of Lindsay Lohan's cleavage in Herbie: Fully Loaded because parents complained. Were they Amish?
  • I wish we were all good enough to hit the ball the other way like Dom and Tony, but when all else fails, we should just go out and hit the ball anywhere we can.
  • Justin and I were talking about this last night... How is it that he is killing the ball in the "C" league, but isn't hitting in the "B" league? Meanwhile, I have two measly hits in "C" league but am doing well in the "B" league?
  • You have to wonder what D'Angelo Jimenez did to to be called a "cancer" by Ryan Freel of the Reds? Not only that, but Freel also said that he was the most disliked person in baseball!
  • What are you most sick of talking about? Barry Bonds, Phil Jackson, or Star Wars?
  • Nothing is better than watching a San Francisco Giants game and seeing their old ball men try to field foul balls.
  • How can Korney hit two homers in the first game and then strike out in his next two at bats? Softball is a funny game, I guess.
  • Remember when NBC had good shows?
  • The fourth season of Seinfeld, which just came out on DVD, is better than the first three seasons combined.
  • With all the "great" new music these days, how come the biggest summer tours will feature guys in their 60s? I think this proves, once again, that my music is better than yours.

    That's all for this week. What??? You don't like them?? Well, FUCK this... I'm OUT of here!!!!
