I love a good, close baseball game, but this shit is ridiculous! I swear, next year I’m going start a stress-training program in August just to get the ol’ ticker used to the constant ups and downs of the pre-playoffs!

Tonight we kick off the final regular season against the Spankees…and it’s do or die…or something […]

Man! I have a case of the Fridays like you wouldn’t believe!!!
It’s the first Friday in at least 6 weeks that I haven’t worked from home, and it’s a full day…no more half-day summer Fridays around here…
This calls for a case of Sam Adams Oktoberfest!!
It’s 12:00 somewhere…

What is Brian O’Nora doing to Tony Graffanino? Stretch a single into a double and get called out…and get a spanking?

so…Alcohol Poisoning Girl just walked in, at 10:05AM, and started complaining about how she decided to walk in, blahblahblah, wearing a new jacket, blahblahblah, and a bird shit on her!
I’m going to hear about this ALL DAY!
She’s going to dissect the route she took, which is going to prompt her little podmates to reflect […]

like drinking vodka but expecting beer

Tuesday, September 27th, 2005

so…have you ever run into someone you know, but in a place that you would never expect, and have it really throw you off?
On my way to lunch I bumped into a friend of ours in the lobby of my building, along with her parents, her mom’s friend, and her newborn son. I would never […]

so…this post by Mikey got me thinking about two food-related things that have been floating around in my head for a bit:
