Jeff Bagwell was officially placed on the DL today. As an Astros fan I'm conflicted about his return attempt. For as long as I've watched baseball Bagwell has been the Houston first basemen, hes partly the reason why I wanted to play the position to begin with. I'd love to see him play one more healthy year, especially now that the Astros have been deep in the playoffs, but it looks like it wasn't meant to be. On the plus side this actually helps the Astros lineup, it allows Lance Berkman to move to first base and it solidifies the outfield situation which actually makes Houston a better team. Ahh well, at least Bagwell will be the first Astro into the Hall of Fame.
Stephen Ames won the players championship on the PGA Tour this afternoon. I don't really have anything to say about it, but it definitly got me more pumped up for golf season. Man I can't wait to dust the clubs off.
The Leafs arn't mathematically eliminated from the playoffs yet, but after dropping back to back games with the Canadians its pretty much over. I'm hearing three things from Leaf fans. 1)Belfour needs to go 2)Quinn needs to go 3)Sundin needs to go. I'm with you on two thirds of those demands at least. I would be shocked beyond belief if the Leafs didn't buyout The Eagle after this season. I'm iffier (thats a word, right? right.) about Quinn, I always had his back in other seasons, but this year I think hes lost his mind. Plus, Toronto has Paul Mourice down in the minors who could jump in right away. If Sundin gets shipped out of town, depending what comes in return, it could go down as one of the worst deals ever. Sure Mats has had an awful season, but look at who they're giving him as wingers.
George Mason?! Wow, maddness indeed. Thanks to Florida's win today I think I'm ending up tied with Steve for the win in our NCAA pool. To be honest I haven't watched much of it since the first two days, but the highlights have been solid.
Yawn...
Adam Vinatieri has left the Patriots to sign with the ugh...Colts. I'm not going to get mad at it though, because the Patriots have made the right calls on letting players go that I would have kept around before. So until he kicks a game winner to get the Colts passed New England in the playoffs I'm going to assume this was the right call.
My next few post are going to be all about baseball, so if you don't care what I think about fantasy pools and the comming season you might want to just stay away til about thursday.
Although Steve is due to break his blogging silence one of these days, so you might want to check back for that.
Almost forgot a couple things, I had microwave popcorn last night, and then today I put Lay's ketsup chips in the same bowl. It was all good until I got to the bottom, by that point some of the chips had absorbed the buttery popcorn taste, so they were buttery ketsup chips and it was gross. I'm only posting this so you don't make the same mistake.
Shit...I already forgot what the second thing was that I came back here for. Hmmmm, I'll probably be back again later now.
I knew I'd remember sooner or later, does anyone else have this Desktop Earth thing? It basically updates your background picture to look like what the earth looks like from space at any given moment. At first I thought it was really cool cause I liked the picture and everything, but now its starting to freak me out a little. Have you seen The Chronicles of Riddik? Y'know when they're on that planet with the crazy sun, and they're running to saftey and you can see the light 'chasing' them as it moves across the landscape. Its like that, I'll be working on something and then I'll close a window and the desktop will have updated, all of a sudden the darkness is a lot closer, but I still haven't got much work done...AND TIME IS RUNNING OUT!! Only Vin Diesel isn't here to save me.
