The Lottery

Man that Marine movie was bad. But not as bad as living in the dirty dirty...what is this monstrosity of heat!? Speaking of the south, if Bear is God, then Saben must be Jesus-and Jesus wants the lottery.

There was some discussion on the radio this morning regarding Saben's thinking that the lottery would be beneficial to one of the most historically poorly funded states for education. I understand where I live-middle of the Bible Belt and how most people here would not agree due to there religious beliefs, however someone called in and made a great point-what about Bingo? what about Churches that have events that are Casino themed (whether they are using real money or not)? I have to agree w/these things and dare to take them one step further-what about raffle tickets-isn't that essientially the same thing? That's just church involvement, not to mention these '777' stores where you go in and pay for scratch offs, or the dog track that is in north Bham.

Jay Barker raised the question about people who are not well off tend to play those things, but was quickly met w/the reasoning that they are most likely not spending their money on the 'right' things anyways, so might as well as spend it on something that funds education.

I hate you.

Just sign the damn contract and get your ass to camp.

damn two years?

Still sucks to be here. I find myself wanting the night to get here so I can go to sleep and don't have an excuse to stay up.

I'm watching 'The Marine' right now, th wife is hot. Not classy hot, but slutty hot. This is pretty stupid movie.

The Tribe (yes I still follow them) are sliding but so are the Tigers-but the bad news is that the Indians and the Tigers are getting beat by the White Sox and the Twins, which sucks because now it's four pony race.

Damn this movie is stupid.

Down on the farm

The Cleveland Indians, in the midst of an all important series with the Central leading White Sox, received some good news over the weekend. Their Double A affiliate, The Akron Aeros won the Eastern League Championship. Before you get excited, I understand that the minors focus is on individual players and those clubs that have affiliates in the Eastern League that are struggling have probably called up there better players. However, I feel that the success of homegrown talent in the past and present and the acquirees from recent trades of Bart Colon and others while playing together will ultimately bring some stability to the franchise. Most importantly those players on the Aeros, got to play in pressure packed games and have learned to win all year long and especially when it counts TOGETHER.

Besides winning and knowing how to win, the Indians also have put themselves in a position to add pieces to a puzzle, maybe a closer that doesn't feel like he has to put the tying and go ahead runs on nightly, by trading some of the talent for veterans to help down the stretch.

I'm liking what I see and I hope the city of Cleveland does too. Go Tribe!

What's the difference?

Birmingham has a news station w/a weather section that includes a 'Doppler One Million'. How can there be so many different names for a doppler radar system? I remember when (I'm 27)it was Doppler radar and I expected something fantastic, but it looked like a normal radar. Then came Doppler 2000-Doppler twooooooooo thousand, DOPPLER two thooooooooooooooooousssssssssssssssssssand. It pretty much looked like the old doppler. Then there was Doppler 3,000, and then, and then, and then...well they've eaten up through all the doppler numbers, so I'm just wondering after Doppler One Million what they are going to call it because although funny when I hear the weatherperson call it by it's numbered name, it's also annoying and makes me wonder what the difference is between the original and the 'one million' version.

When it was fun to be a Browns fan.

Rain, snow, wind, gloom, snowballs hitting photographers from the dog pound, old Cleveland Stadium.

This was a hard one to call...

Ah, the choices we make. I was given the choice today of paying $1.61 for a sandwich and 3 cookies today at Subway. The high school girl forgot to add in the sandwich (which was actually on 'special' that day-$1.50 off) and now I was faced with this decision of getting away w/a free sandwich or calling her out and asking her to include it. Being in my mid 20's I've been in her shoes before having someone pay a fraction of what they really owed me and me not figuring it out until later in the night.

In the grand scheme of things would it have been such a big deal?

Yes.

I would have woken up in cold sweat wondering how God was going to get back at me for taking advantage of $2.50 worth of wool I pulled over Subways eyes. I have to chuckle to myself that I thought of so much in such a short period of time.

Yes, Grady. You heard me....

Hear my prediction loud and clear, the AL Central Champs will be the Indians and the ChiSox will not make the playoffs. I know, I know the Tribe has struggled against the ChiSox, however, the ChiSox are playing Minnesota, Detroit and Cleveland to end the year…the Tribe has a much more favorable schedule to end the year and the Yankees/BoSox are not going anywhere, they'll battle too.I think the A's drop off and fall behind the Twins in the Wild Card race. It's not that far fetched in my mind.
