Well, let's be fair. The Red Sox were a few months ahead of the Marlins in the reloading process when they traded half their team to the Dodgers.

Very cool! Thanks for sharing!

Anyone catch the Phineas and Ferb backstory-inator episode? Hilarious!

That's true.

Cal hasn't done anything wrong at UK - yet. I wonder how long Crean will stay there before jumping to the NBA.

UK played well last night. They are not the front runners this year, but still a top 20 team. But, probably not in Final Four this year without some luck or a good tournament run.

Well, IU has already had 2 players suspended for 9 games this year, so Crean's got them on the right track.

Hey guys! We're getting close to the DDC!!!


I know this because my marathon training is getting a bit excessive. 9 mile run tomorrow am, and 16 miles scheduled for Saturday.

Uconn might be a top 20 team but it won't matter this year since they are barred from tournament play.

Good morning.

Anyone listen to Disney parks music at work? I have a few channels on internet radio that I flip between... right now I'm listening to the 30-minute pre-Illuminations music (followed by Illuminations...) Best way to start the day.

Can our trip get here any sooner?

Calabrese here. If you look at a map of Italy Calabria is the foot that is about to kick Sicily. Just saying.

I'd love to come to a AA game if you get tickets this year!

Have a feeling there will be plenty of seats available in the best AA ballpark ever constructed. Will drop you off at the ballpark, not sure you can convince me to go in though.

I'll trade owners with you. At least Henry likes baseball.

At least they win and build programs.

He is a lying sack of peanut butter. Would love to pour a 2 liter bottle of Beverly down his throat but in fairness he only blew up two of the three teams.

True. If the Marlins play the Sox next year, maybe Jim and I can go to the game at Fenway. He can root for the Sox to lose and I can do the same for the Marlins.

The Pirate Princess is running three times a week, two of them 12 mile runs. She is also stepping up the training.

Thanks… If we go back next year it will be as spectators rather then as part of the crew.
That might be a good time for a meet.

It startled us, that’s for certain. The concussion actually did shake the building and you felt the shock wave hit your chest like you’d been slapped. Our first thought was that someone had driven a truck into the side of the building. The other interesting thing about it was that the real thing sounds noting like Hollywood’s renditions. The bang was more like the report of heavy fireworks, just with the volume greatly enhanced.

Wish I could. Management frowns on having music at your desk.
Typical…


I missed where you joined the group.
Welcome sir, we’re glad to have you along!

Walked into a buzz saw at work this week after being out a couple days. That’s the punishment I get for taking time off and it likely won’t be much better for a while. But it was still worth it to take the break.

We did a bit of traveling and spent some time in Indianapolis. Unfortunately I was a might busy and didn’t have any extra time to try and meet with any of other dads up that way. The rest of the trip however was a smashing success. A ton of work… but still a great success (which I may get around to talking about on the brag wall latter on).

So, our thoughts on Indi…

- Nice town. Y’all have a very interesting mix of the old and the new. The Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument and the Memorial park a few block up were particularly interesting.

- Roads are pretty easy to work with (more so then those around here)

- Lucas Stadium is one big-a** monster. There must be five miles of tunnels underneath the thing, and it’s easily one of the nicest fields we’ve encountered this season.

- Shapiro’s makes some mighty fine Pastrami, so y’all got that goin’ for you…
which is nice.

- and finally… you didn’t have to go and blow up a whole neighborhood just to get us to go back home, we were leaving in the morning anyway. (I’m sure Andy had something to do with that one). Seriously though… we were only a mile or two from where that occurred; frightening stuff. Our prayers go out to those that lost much to that unexpected disaster.

Well… I need to get back to work so I’ll try to check back in the near.
Prayers where needed, congrats all around and howdy to any new members.

Glad you had a good trip Rob!

Cream has nothing to do with that. That suspension is crap!

Yup. I meant for good, not just for 1 year in the last 20.

I guess soccer is more important than baseball. No new signings so far, talk about trading Salty, talk of selling all or parts of the organization. At least we resigned David Ortiz....mid 30's, injured .......REALLY? It looks like CJ and I are going to be doing a lot of drowning our miseries in alcohol.
