1. They are happy in Tampa. Proud to have "gotten" to the world series. That's what wrong with that city as a baseball city. If you don't win your last game of the year (even if it takes three days in the pouring rain) then your year was not a complete success. Maybe I'm too cynical. Maybe I should be happy that we made it to the playoffs. Yeah. That's it. I'm esctatic.
2. There is no actual award, Smitty. The Shermies are chimerical. You know, quixotic. That should clear that up.
3. Dempster filed for free agency, and says he won't sign with the Cubs during their exclusive negotiating period -- wants to see what other teams offer. That's loyalty for you. After all the nice things I've said about him.
4. Look for a three way deal to get Peavy. We'll lose a bunch -- probably Pie, Marshall and couple others (Hart, Guzman, ??) I'd say it's worth it -- especially if we keep Demp.
5. I hate to lose Marshall because I think he's going to be real good.
6. Lou says he wants to platoon centerfield again next year -- ready for this? Johnson and Fukudome. So, Edmonds is off the board and where does that leave Pie? I think San Diego.
7. I still can't believe that we got swept so easily by the Dodderers.
8. I'll be glad when the election is over, but I think I'm going to hate the result. Oh well, socialism has its upside, right?
9. Texas - Texas Tech was a great football game.
10. Here's an idea. Lots of players go play in Latin America during the offseason. Send Soriano to England and get him in a cricket league. If he's going to swing at balls that bounce, he should at least learn to hit them.
I gotta go...

1. back in '78, Tampa was happy to have an NFL franchise, too. They went winless, or close. It was a long time ago.
2. If Smitty's blog had awards, would he actually post them, or would we have to go there every day and pretend there was an update, like we do now?
3. Fuck Dempster. We can lose in the first round without him next year.
4. I'd trade all those guys, PLUS DLee for Peavy, provided you can lock Peavy up for 5-7 years.
5. OK, maybe I wouldn't trade all those guys PLUS Marshall.
6. Fuck Edmonds and Pie. One is old, the other is likely to be great whenever he puts on another uniform. I like the Fuko and RJ platoon idea...it gets Fontenot more AB's. Fear the mullet.
7. Did we get swept....really?
8. I thought the same thing before CLinton was elected, and things didn't go that badly...of course, with CLinton, we had a republican congress...so yeah, we're pretty much fucked. I am trying my best to keep the household income under $250K this year...just what capitalism is built on...trying hard to make less money.
9. Texas Tech deserves to be #2, after beating a good Texas team, and at least 4 members of a Big 12 officiating crew that CLEARLY wanted them to lose. Worse officiating than last years WVU/Pitt game.
10. just send Soriano to Mesa a few weeks early, and let and low-A pitcher throw him sliders away for a month, and see if he figures out he can't hit them by June.
1. Tampa is in Pinellas county. Coincidence? I think not.
2. Thanks for the Shermie, I got it in the mail on Saturday. I'm going to have to remodel the mantle to enlarge it so the wind mill will fit (Multi layered reference).
3.Demp should be back, wouldn't you want to know what you were worth on the open market.
4.Peavy would be nice, but we pitched well in games 2 and 3 of the implosion, just didn't hit (or field). Good pitching beats good hitting, but you do need some offence. DP Lee hit better than most in the disaster.
5. Every one is better in another uniform, even Corey.
6. Felix for peavey, worth it.
7. Was there a playoffs this year, I thought Bud put all the teams not named the Cubs in his ass and farted out a winner.
8. What's all this fuss about a presidential erection? Are they not men?.... what... wait a minute.... oh, never mind. Oh and Clinton was too busy fucking everything in a skirt to fuck over the country, sure wish George had his mind in the gutter instead of up his ass.
9. Texas football, come on I know your in the dumps, but raise your standards a little, huh?
10. Excellent idea on the cricket lessons. I think they hop when they catch it too.
1. Fuck Tampa
2. Don't tell Smitty that there really WAS an award. Dammit.
2a. Multi-layered references are good. To dream...
3. Keep the little glove flipper. He's a good bunter.
4. It's pronounced "Pee-Ay-Vee"
5. Corey led the majors in hitting this year, if you count from the bottom up. In other words, if hitting were like golf scores, Corey is Tiger Woods.
6. If Edmonds grows a mullet, can we keep him? Can we, huh? I only like Fukudome as a late inning defensive replacement. Just promise me he'll never, ever bat.
7. Fuck the playoffs
8. Fuck the election
9. Fuck football
10. What do you get when you cross cricket with a grass hopper? Alf
Sitting down? Smitty updated his blog. I'd give him a Shermie for that, but I've already mailed them all out.
Once a month updates, not bad.
To each his Dolcenea......
Here's a movie idea.
Bob Goulet (is he dead?) plays Jim Hendry and he's searching for that elusive (and nonexistant) pennant.
Mike Fontenot sings "Little Bird, Little Bird"
Jim Edmonds sings "I'm only thinking of him"
Hendry Goulet sings "Impossible Dream" repeatedly
DLee sings "Knight of the Woeful Countenance" (i.e. double play)
Cubs fans respond by throwing flowers (Mitch Williams posters) on stage at the end, while singing "Go Don Go"
Ryan Dempster goes on to appear in Spamalot as Brave Sir Robin.
Ted Lilly joins him in the cast, as the ironically named character "Sir not appearing in this show"
Oddly, Smitty makes his stage debut in this as well, playing "The Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog"
