Not Like A "Fresher"


What exactly are crackers supposed to crack anyway?


Well, if they're really really old, they can probably do a good job cracking your teeth.  


Today's Sametime Status is just one of those things that goes kicking around in my head on occasion.  Fortunately for all of you, I actually remembered it and shared it with all of you in jaunty Sametime Status form.  You are welcome.


Incidentally, you were informed that you have to write about V-Y Day.


So it is.  For those handful of you left in the world who still care about baseball, yesterday was the greatest of all days.  Yes, kids...Victory over the Yankees.  The greatest band of high-priced mercenaries money can buy falls short once again, and the world couldn't be happier.  Of course, all of the news on the internets is about how the Evil Empire lost and not how Detroit beat the living snot out of them and are the team who's actually moving on to the World Series.  There are also plenty of stories about what's going to become of the steroid-withdrawn Alex Rodriguez and his incredibly ridiculous contract.  The articles keep talking about trading him to some other team as if anyone else in baseball is willing and/or able to pay a failing, breaking-down prima-donna 30 million dollars a year for average results.  This is, of course, a microcosm of everything that is wrong with baseball as a business, and the reason I no longer care.


You care enough to write a little one-paragraph rant.


I was coerced.  It happens.
