Adam has made a change. His blog is now a photo blog. I am not sure if it is more interesting to me personally, but as long as that’s what he wants to do, that’s what matters. He is really into photography and design and certainly has recognizable talent in both.
Yeah, I know I just got started. But, I am not too sure how much I will be able to blog from the 2nd through the 9th, so I wanted to post a note.
I might get a few entries in in that time, however.
Looking back at this entry… the only way that the Yankees could not finish with a winning record was for them to lose just one of the three games they had left in April.
Guess what?
They didn’t lose. And they finished 12-11 in April. Still 4 games back of Boston, but better than nothing.
Just a quick note to recognize Jeremy’s new design. I have mixed feelings and I see a few bugs, but I am sure he’ll get them all worked out. Either way, a fresh look usually can’t hurt.
The Yankee bats… those Yankee bats… they came alive. After getting swept by the Red Sox, the Yankees didn’t seem to be getting any breaks, having to face the dominant threesome from Oakland. Zito, Hudson and Mulder (I actually have Zito and Mulder’s autograph – along with Billy Koch, on the same ball). But, they did it. They got 4 ER out of Hudson in 7 innings, 4 out of Mulder in 6 and 6 out of Zito in 6.
Also of note, Jeter broke out of his (0 for 32) slump tonight by taking the first pitch from Zito into the stands. Bernie also hit his first homer.
After reading this article and watching an interview on ESPN today, I have went from really liking Dolphins defensive end Adewale Ogunleye to now thinking that they should just let him walk, if he doesn’t adjust his attitude.
I am seeing a guy who is not giving the end on the other side, Jason Taylor, enough credit. Taylor is one of the reasons that he can command so much money and act in such a way. The Dolphins offered him a 1.8+ million dollar, 1 year contract and he says he won’t sign it. He’s willing to sit out ten games and then “make himself available” for the last six. If he does that, that is when I tell him to jump in a lake.
I am pretty sure that when the Dolphins signed him and he spent 2000 rehabilitating his knee, that still paid him (correct me if I am wrong). It’s like anything else. You have a great year and you want to be paid. But, what if they give you this contract and you finish with 5 sacks instead of 18? Can they, then, cut your contract by 75%?
I just got an IM from someone I kind of know:
Now, putting aside the fact that I very rarely brag about the Yankees or put down other teams for that matter… and assuming it is true… let’s just hope we make some history this year.
I had someone add me to their MSN Messenger list the other night and then they said something to the tune of “I’m sorry for adding you to my MSN without prior notice. My nickname on SiteName.com is XXX.” Sorry for adding me? Who the heck am I? The Pope? Firstly, I said hello to the guy and assured him that he had nothing to be sorry about. He seems like a pretty nice guy.
But, such is the environment that some people (even staff members), within a specific community that I know of, encourage. They put things like “Contacting me privately will get you a warning” in their signatures. To me, this is offensive – and shocking. None of my staff members will ever be allowed to have such a thing in their signatures. If you don’t want people to contact you privately, don’t make private information public. Putting such rude, even scary, messages is uncalled for, in my opinion.
Well, here you go. I’m blogging now. So, welcome. Hopefully, I’ll enjoy it and it’ll be a daily thing.
