I can't take the Muskblog any longer. Our inane banter and underwhelming repartee actually improves the readability of the blog. Hard to believe that intentional idiocy brings up the level of intelligence of the blog. I don't even read her blogs. I look on the sidebar to see who has commented where and then I go to that one. Just for grins, we might have to declare a Muskatorium for one week. She'll wonder what went wrong. She was doing so well.
I'm watching Korea play Japan in the World Baseball TOURNAMENT. Boring. Good practice for the vendors in San Diego, though, to get used to serving those Padre sized crowds (1800 or so.)
This whole thing should take place after the season. It's absurd to hold it now.
I am seriously considering Shermgear. You'll see.
More later. Or not.
By the way -- yes...Adam Dunn made a couple of errors to hurt team USA. Note: he is leading the team by hitting .368 with 3 bombs and 9 rbi's. And they are in the semifinals.

Coffee
I tried Smitty's coffee this morning for the first time and I have to admit that it was pretty good. I'm not sure about the post cup shaking, sweats, priaprism or flatulence...but I definitely want some more.
I drink a lot of coffee -- that's part of getting up at 3plus in the a.m. -- but I happen to like the drink. So...if you are into coffee, check with Smitty and he'll hook you up.
I will not read Reed Johnson's blog again. Too much "adoration" in the comments for nothing -- "oh, Reed, dude, love the beard, man!" We were trying to be inane morons and fell ridiculously short of the rest of the pack. I think we are personally responsible for the surgence in the Muskrat blog. I say surgence because resurgence implies that that something had previously happened. She now has commenters where before there were none. I may continue to read and comment there...it's still worth a chuckle. In fact, perhaps we should all re-register as "Chucklehead 1" and "Chucklehead 2" and so on. Just a thought. People might actually then say "I am going to Carrie Muskat's blog to see what the Chuckleheads have to say."
More later. Or not.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
When does the season start again? I have never in my life been as bored with a preseason as this one. The WBT (World Baseball Tournament) doesn't help. Do they really need almost two months to get ready? They all have calendars. They could get ready in advance, right? ST should be two weeks. Three max.
I couldn't tell you who's any good in the NCAA tournament. Probably the same schools as every year. I just haven't paid attention. Same with the NBA. Who cares? I might watch the finals. Until then...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Three player comparisons to watch this year:
Sean Marshall vs Randy Johnson -- remember we could have had the unit as our fifth starter.
Milkit Badly vs Adam Dunn -- this should be interesting. Just games played should be interesting. Poor Dunn will be pitched around in that National lineup, though.
Aaron Miles vs Mark DeRosa -- almost doesn't seem fair, does it? What was Hendry thinking?
Hey, my "Icon" is up on the VFTB website. Thoughts?

Early to rise
Good morning, all...
I still keep the same hours -- just haven't felt that I've had anything worth saying. The Cubs are playing awful in spring training. Fundamentals are poor. Piniella is pissed. But "they have time." Kind of like the playoff attitude, isn't it?
Note: Mark DeRosa played left field and third base...and drove in four runs for team USA. Someone please tell me again why we traded him? Who are the three knuckleheads we got in return?
Even at 7:1 -- I wouldn't bet a dollar on this team to win the world series. I sure hope that Jiminy Crickets (is that the new owner?) and Hendry can make the necessary changes to improve this team. I don't have the faith that they will, however.
More later when there is something to add...
Positives: Heilman, Marshall, Theriot.
Negatives: Taguchi must go. Rivas, too. Miles has been awful so far.

Greetings from Las Vegas
In this economy, I still can't understand how these places can charge $84 for a steak...and have a waiting list to get in. Am I missing something?
I didn't go see the Cubs last night -- could have -- but had a dinner that conflicted with the game, and to be honest I am not a huge fan of exhibition baseball. I enjoy the hot stove stuff...when something is actually happening. ST is a necessary part of the game and I semi-follow win/loss information and who's doing what. I just find it hard to care until the real games begin.
Not a big fan of Vegas -- those of you who know me well know that I lived here a long time (high school here, college here, married here) but there isn't anything here for me anymore. I find it kind of cheesy and two days is my limit. Chuck E. Cheese for adults. That's what Las Vegas is.
Enjoying the Marsh Rabbit (muskrat) banter. Searching for inanity makes her blog tolerable. Wish I had time for more.
Gotta run. Vegas beckons.
