New Template Needed

I’m looking for a new template for this blog. I’m looking for something simple but elegant and with some blue in it. If anyone has any ideas please let me know.



John Kerry, Waffles & Google Bombing

The blog Esoteric * Diatribe is trying to start a Google bombing to get the #1 search result for the term waffles on Google to be Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry’s homepage. They have already succeeded in manipulating the site to #1 on Yahoo (click here). They have not yet succeeded in cracking the top […]



The Mets Lost Weekend (and other stories)

The Mets suffered a 3 game sweep at the hands of the Pirates this week and there really weren’t many positives to walk away with. A bright spot was Tom Glavine pitching 7 innings of 1 hit ball on Friday night but then he was removed with tightness in his shoulder. Steve Trachsel also had […]

TCPalm: Real fans want to know if Bonds cheated

Interesting how this article came out on the same day I commented about Barry Bonds.



Tyler Yates

Tyler Yates got his butt kicked by the Braves last night. Welcome to the majors, kid. I don’t know what to think of this guy yet. It’s hard to tell by just two starts. Let him get a few more starts under his belt before calling for his demotion.



My Take on Barry Bonds

I’d like to congratulate Barry Bonds on passing Willie Mays on the all time home run list. There is, of course, a cloud hanging over this feat as Bonds has been accused of taking steroids. In America a man is considered innocent until proven guilty and Bonds has not yet been proven guilty so I’d […]
