A greeting card for Yankees Fans

I simply couldn't resist stealing this from Center Field... It's against my nature to rub someone's nose in it, however I can't resist a cheap shot to Yankees fans... (Knowing they'd take their turns in spades given half a chance).

How the Hebrews found the Promised Land:

... and missed the oil.




Not exactly how I visualized it.

I was going to save this for my 100th post, but I just can't wait any longer to inform the world about my dinosaur fighting skills:

I could survive for 1 minute, 6 seconds chained to a bunk bed with a velociraptor

Best Baseball Play ever

I'm a congenital Red Sox fax, but I'm also a baseball fan. I do remember this play... It was on the news... It was early in the `76 season, and as a nine year old I did not realize that the `75 series would be a high water mark for years to come... but I digress.

One flag, two creeps, and a hero:



While on the subject of baseball and heroes... Nolan Ryan. A legend and a real man. In 1993 Robin Ventura was starting his 5th year in the majors. Ryan was ending his career, after 26 years (plus a few innings in 1966)... Ryan hits Ventura, and young Robin thinks he can rush the mound.

Ryan owned Ventura:



And I just realized after all of these years... Ryan used his pitching hand. It's a wonder Ventura survived.

McCain pulls a Crazy Ivan

Johnny Mac "suspends" campaigning to return to the Senate in order to work on an "Aid to Dependent Fat Cat Investment Bankers" bill. I think they're actually going to add a new title to the Social Security Act to cover this one...

Master stroke, or mark of desperation? At first blush, I think it's a mistake. Perhaps he's setting BO up to debate an empty chair?

If BO doesn't "join" him in Washington, I think McCain should go to the floor of the Senate, and ask where his "friend from Illinois is" and "his dear old friend from Delaware" is... Then he should re-introduce the bills Bush sent to Congress in 2001, 2003 and his own 2005 legislation. And get Reid and the rest of them on the record - and on CSPAN.
