First Pitch

So Mariah lacks athletic ability. Actually, it’s hard to tell if she’s that bad, since I’m not sure she can even breath in those shorts, and the heels couldn’t have helped.

CHiPs Clip of the Day

As you know, I’m a sucker for the cheesy 70′s intro music, but this clip is what CHiPs was all about.  It’s a Gene Simmons and KISS knockoff, since that’s what the kids were all into those days  . . .  Of course, I’m not sure a guy who is so bad ass as to [...]

Galilee

Last weekend I went to Galilee, RI with the Mrs. and my parents.  Galilee is an old fishing village located near Point Judith. I recall first going to Galilee when I was around 4 or 5 years old or so.  My parents used to camp down in the Narragansett area, and we’d often head over to Galilee [...]

Mystery Solved and a Mea Culpa

A short time ago I wrote about how I believed the Mrs. was eating in her sleep, even though it was quite possible I was the culprit. There hasn’t been any ice cream in the freezer for a while, nor any cookies, brownies or other sweets. I’ve been a little stressed I suppose due to [...]

Great Profane Rants in Baseball History

I get a lot of my Yankee news off the fantastic blog run by Cliff Corcoran and Alex Belth at http://bronxbanter.baseballtoaster.com/

Apparently last night on the Yankees telecast (the Yanks were playing the O’s), someone mentioned the old Oriole Terry Crowley, which prompted a sound engineer to play in the background, as a prank, the old [...]

The Conman Likes this Clip

The other day at work my boss started jokingly referring to himself in the 3rd person, which reminded the Conman of “Jimmy”.  Conman was surprised when the boss wasn’t familiar with Jimmy, so the Conman sent the boss this link. The Conman always laughs when he sees Jimmy.

A Couple Brews and the Brew Crew at Fenway

Yesterday afternoon, I went to the Sox game with my Dad.  The Milwaukee Brewers, my second favorite team, were in town. I gained an affinity for the Brewers during the approximately 4.5 years I was imprisoned, stationed, banished, lived and worked in Milwaukee between March 4, 1998 and August 16, 2002.  As a Yankee fan, I’ve [...]

Mr. B and Andy E.

Back in 8th grade, we had a rotund bearded history teacher.  He used to wear brightly colored shirts with designs on them that made him look, due to his peculiar shape, like an Easter egg.  He was a bit of an odd fellow, at least in the minds of a bunch of snot nosed 13 [...]

Things to Do While You’re Sleeping

I’ve been a sleepwalker for as long as I can remember.  I remember this because at various points in my life, beginning in childhood and continuing to the present day, I’ve caught myself in the act of sleepwalking.  The Mrs. also tells me that every once in a while I pop straight up in bed, [...]

My Kraut Mick Friend

I’ve been pretty busy this past week at work, so I haven’t had much time to post anything new. And when I’ve had some time, like now, I really haven’t had anything interesting to say, unfortunately. So, it’s filler time.  I’ve always loved this character in the Godfather.  First, the music as they show Tom Hagen landing [...]
