Hello Goodbye, KG

So the MLB trade deadline came and went today and although there weren't really any MAJOR deals, it was semi-interesting nonetheless. For starters, the Braves acquired Mark Texiera from the Rangers yesterday for Jarod Saltalamacchia (or however the hell you spell that crap) and some others. Red Sox received, from the Rangers, Eric Gagne for Kason Gabbard (hence the "goodbye" part of the title). Scott Proctor is now a Dodger (no one really cares....well, I don't), Kyle Lohse is a Phillie, Luis Castillo is a Met, etc., etc. I'll finish this tomorrow, for I am deathly tired.

And I just shat myself as I've just learned that Matt Morris was traded to the Pirates. To the Pirates, really?

Come Back and Haunt Me

It's been a while, yeah? Well, believe it or not, baseball hasn't been at the forefront of my mind lately. Paying bills and getting ready for my fifth semester of college HAVE, though. Today is July 29th. You know, I could go on this whole bit about today being a very important day in baseball history and blaze blaze, but I'm not going to do that. Cal Ripken, Jr. and Tony Gwynn were inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame today, and that sentence alone should speak volumes. I never really got the chance to see them play that often because when I really started getting into baseball, those two were just finishing up their careers. But I do know what they've accomplished. I mean, what true baseball fan doesn't? Ripken with his humility and 2, 632-game streak, Gwynn with his eight batting titles and friendship with Ted Williams, etc. What I'm still trying to figure out is, who in the hell didn't vote Ripkin and Gwynn into the Hall today? Those should clearly be unanimous decisions. The writers who didn't vote for them are probably the type who believe players like Russell Branyan should be inducted (sorry, that was kinda low seeing as though he's without a job now). I know one thing: if I ever get to visit Cooperstown in this lifetime, I'll probably shit 20 live chickens.

Side note: As lame as this sounds, I'm really excited about "300" coming on DVD Tuesday. When it was out in theaters I thought it was lame, but for the past few months I've been wanting to see it. "The Convenant" came on Starz last night, and that was a pretty decent movie. "The Benchwarmers" is now one of my favorites, ha ha.

Just Pictures, Hardly Any Words

I know I've talked bad about him in previous posts, but he's still my baseball boyfriend...along with the rest of the world's. Even if he IS gay, so what? Still sexy as shit.
