Cardinals out of the Playoffs



Well I guess it has been official for a while now but the St. Louis Cardinals are officially out of the Playoffs for the first time in a long time. There will be no repeat for the 2006 World Series Champions. Losing all of your starting pitching and having mediocre years from your star players will do that to a team. As far as the future goes, I think LaRussa's out, Eckstein wants to stay, Izzy wants to stay, Pujols & Rolen are locked for a while, hopefully Edmonds retires and the Cards finally decide to get off their ass and make some off season transactions. Still it is upsetting that my baseball season is over (by that I mean I have no interest in watching any of the other teams) I guess I will root for the (shudder) Cubs seeing as how they are representing my division although I kinda of like the Phillies too. As far as the AL goes who cares? I never watch AL baseball until the world series. I'm fed up with Yankee/Red Sox hype like they are the only good teams in the league. So here's hoping the playoffs are as good this year as they were last year.

Daughter, Country, Star Wars


Y'know I love my daughters, I love my country, & I love Star Wars but to ever commit all three of these into a full back tattoo is just...wrong. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when this guy described what he wanted to his tattoo artist. I'm sure he thought it was a great idea.

756


Some douche drops a shitbag of cash for Bonds 756th homerun ball, has a poll to decide what to do with it & the winning choice was to brand an asterisk on it then send it to cooperstown. The other choices were to send it to the Hall of Fame or, the only sensible choice, make it a real "rocket into space!" Like I've said I'm no Barry fan but I'll defend the guy for being a great ball player. Do you think the Hall of Fame will accept this ball? Is this justice? I'll bet Barry doesn't give a rat's ass and for the most part I don't either BUT...if someday I manage to make the trip to Cooperstown to show my kids cool baseball shit, I don't want some fucker's publicity stunt mucking up my experience. If you don't like Bonds fine but the record stands and is baseball history that in my opinion shouldn't get this treatment. Steroids suck it's true but I doubt they ever prove Bonds did them.

Heroes


Yea so I just got finished with season 1 of Heroes. Holy Badass! I can't believe those of you I call friends didn't make me watch this sooner. I loved every episode. I kinda lagged when the show first came out so I was behind. Not wanting to jump in mid season I just said screw it I'll wait for the DVD. Well that day came and boy was I pleasantly surprised. Of course all the powers are Marvel knock off but I still dig the new way of telling the story without spandex suits. I really dig Nikki/Jessica and of course Hiro, and Nathan, well I like them all. Thank goodness I did have the DVD because waiting a week to wrap up those cliff hangers would have killed me. Now that season 2 is under way I already have my predictions as to what will happen to who. Can't wait to see what's next hopefully it won't suck.
