That was a perfectly reasonable thing for a crazy person to do.

I personally don't have a problem with Morgan stealing the bases, but I also can understand why Volstad did. I think pretty much everything that happened in that game was a pretty reasonable reaction to a prior action.

Well, what sparked it was he crashed into the catcher the night before (and was out yet again) and put him on the DL. The next night, the Marlins hit him, and he proceeded to steal 2nd and 3rd on the next two pitches while down by 11 and talked a lot of shit when he got to each base while doing so, apparently. The Marlins' pitcher didn't like this, so he threw behind him in his next at bat.

Gaby Sanchez with the wicked clothesline on Nyjer Morgan tonight. That was some WWF stuff.

Steve truly is the heart and soul of the team.

Can't lie, I got a bit choked up when Regine sang "Haiti" last night. Great, great show. Nothing tops 5k people singing "Wake Up" at the top of their lungs completely off key. What an experience.

This album's definitely growing on me. There's some songs that I just don't care much for, but there's some great great stuff.

What a shocker. "Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)" has Come out of seemingly nowhere to grab the reins as my favorite song on the album.

This is a great warm up. Seeing them in 6 days!

White Sox burned Mark Kotsay's bat, supposedly for "good luck". Pretty sure it was just to keep him from using it in a playoff race.

I'll see what I can do when I get home

Rangers inquired about Josh Johnson during the Jorge Cantu negotations. Gotta admire their chutzpah.

It's missing the sense of urgency that a "Wake Up" or "Antichrist Television Blues" had, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. It's certainly less angsty than I expected. With the title of the songs and all, I was expecting an indie American Idiot, or something I'd like to get a version that has no skips between songs, and really sit down and digest it as a whole before offering a full opinion. I like it, it's very mature, but it doesn't knock me on my ass like Funeral did or certain songs on Neon Bible.

We got more than a pack of Mentos for Jorge Cantu. Wow! Thanks Texas, he sucks.

"City With No Children" jumps out to the early lead for me.

That article deserves a Pulitzer. Or perhaps a pooplitzer.

Oh yeah, I forgot werth is available.

Is Cody Ross now the best outfielder on the market?

Ezra looks like a better cuddler.

I'll wait until solace PMs me the album before I judge it.

He's holding out on us!

I think pro-gay marriage advocates are just going to have to accept that until it becomes popularly accepted, it's going to be an almost impossible fight. It's ridiculous and absurd and embarassing, but it's reality.

Phone in my left front pocket, keys in my right front pocket, wallet in the back right. I am firm on this. It is my mantra.
