What?????

No Shattner?????

"I couldn't believe it. I'm not in the movie at all. Leonard, God bless his heart, is in, but not me," Shatner, 76, told The Associated Press on Thursday. "I thought, what a decision to make, since it obviously is a decision not to make use of the popularity I have to ensure the movie has good box office. It didn't seem to be a wise business decision."

You know what this means...

To the Sox Nation....

Friday....

Sox win.
Could the curse of Curtis Leskanic be broken?
"It will take a miracle for the Sox to win the World Series as long as the spirit of Leskanic has anything to say about it," wrote Boston Globe columnist Dan Shaughnessy, who coined the phrase "Curse Of The Former Red Sox Relief Pitcher Curtis Leskanic" in March of 2005, when an error by shortstop Edgar Renteria allowed the Devil Rays to defeat the Red Sox 7-4 in a spring training game.

What would you give up for a World Series ticket?
Little league baseball coach Bobby Padilla just wants to take his son to a World Series game, so he's carted up from his basement boxes full of 25 years worth of Playboy magazines, not a missing month, in mint condition. He bought the magazines nine years ago for $200 as a favor to a friend.
A 'favor to a friend'...riiiiiight.

Soccer Moms...beautiful & sultry? OR just plain evil?
"You get one of these parents on every team," he said. "She sounds like she went a little crazy."
A little crazy? Thank goodness she didn't go nuts.

What? The left has a version of the pajamahadeen???
The Dallas-based auction house said it will have extra security on hand for the bidding after monitoring "leftist bloggers" upset that the company is profiting from Guevara's death.

Allllright, you've dogged all those players for striking out last night...but can you hit a baseball?

Fashion crazy pre-teens? I blame their soccer moms.
"Have you stopped being friends with someone because she wore clothes you didn't like?"
No. But I've dumped a few who rooted for the wrong team. So wrong.

Peace. Have a great weekend.

It's that time of year again!

Time for Stupid Yankee Baseball Trades.
Which up and coming Yankee star will be traded for a washed up billionaire?

Look no further. The answer is in this statement:

"I would consider DHing for the Yankees." Bonds said.

Goodbye Joba Chamberlain. Hello Barry.

Remember, you heard it (made up) here, first.

Thursday: Sox win, Misc. notes & thoughts

From awful announcing:

"Facts can't stop (Tim) McCarver, he needs to hear the sound of his voice.......like vampires need blood to survive."

How come our elected officials overlook gambling laws every year?
Does the IRS know about this?

And why haven't I seen anyone wearing this T-shirt?

My prediction....Sox in 5.

Wednesday

It's a wet, cold day in Alabama (which doesn't sound great, but when you go 6 months without rain, it's not a bad alternative). The kind of day made for hot chocolate, warm comfy clothes and the couch (to watch some baseball).

Unrelated misc thoughts:

Steinbrenner is about to screw up.

For once, this guy is correct.

Sunday

Went to Michaels because it felt like an "artsy" day.

After a little 'home church' Amber (with a bunch of coaching from Danielle) made this cool mask:

The kid played some music...

And Teresa....well...she didn't do anything!!!

(Just kidding, she worked on her pictures (of which, I have no pictures) and then she watched me cook.) ;)

A great day! Thanks, ladies!

Saturday

We spent Saturday morning at Homewood Park (yeah, I know, I missed the football game, but it was a great time!)

David, making friends and hunting for creatures.

...like this crawdad...
