1) Goose Gossage was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame yesterday, the only member of this year's class. One thing I noticed in this AP article was the writer never gave Goose's real name. You might be thinking, "Of course, because Goose is most certainly a grown man's Christian name." Well, kind sir, you would be wrong. His name is Richard.
2) Well, the game is afoot, Watson. Clinton the Girl took the democratic primary and McCain seems to be the New Hampshire Republican's favorite old plaything, taking him out of the toy chest for his second win in 8 years. Mitt Romney came in second, once again living up to that old Mormon creed: "Honestly, we're kinda batshit crazy, huh?"
3) Mike Martz, the poster boy for monster.com, again falls ass first into a new job, this time as Offensive Coordinator for the amazingly mediocre San Fransisco 49ers. Martz is the equivalent of Ted Williams. When Ted Williams retired from playing baseball he took a stint as manager of the Washington Senators. They hated him, and he them. See, Teddy Ballgame was so used to himself being, well, perfect, he couldn't understand his lackluster players inability to hit the ball. This is the problem Martz has. His gameplan requires 11 clones of the baby Einstein had with Barry Sanders.
4) I was a Boy Scout for 15 years or so, and made Eagle Scout when I was 16. Trust me, no one ever told me that Secret Service detail was part of the package. I regret that I have but one life to give to Scarlet Johansson.
Well, that's about it. It's like Ted Williams said: "I hope somebody hits .400 soon. Then people can start pestering that guy with questions about the last guy to hit .400."
