After approximately a bazillion years of calling and emailing (okay, two emails, and maybe 5 calls) I finally got through to Austin in the A's merchandising department, and my Haren tee is on the way to me ^___________^ I had a coupon for 25% off a mail order item, on account of my subscription to the team mag, so the shirt ended up costing me just under $23 with shipping and everything. Whoo for not breaking the bank...completely.
I can't stop reading analyses of Lieberman's defeat in the primary in CT. All the politicos are like "but it could mean this! or it could mean this! but maybe it signifies this!" It's like undergrad all over again.
I went to see Monster House the other day. (I had to take a friend of the family's kid, okay? shut up.) I was surprised by how not bad it was. Like Cars, it's another one that wasn't promoted well in the early goings, I think. But it was a surprisingly touching story, not just all oooh, creepy house, or whatever. Also, Nick Cannon has a rather funny bit part as a sheriff's deputy. I found the animation-style pretty offputting, and I still didn't really care for it when the movie was over, but I think the story is good enough and compelling enough even, to overcome it.
Oh, and WTC is out today. Probably do the early AM show tomorrow morning, solo, because I know I'ma cry.
Pretty annoyed by all the shit-stirring going on in the Florida papers about some tiff between Joe Girardi and the owner of the team. All the pieces are saying the owner needs to back off, and while I appreciate the support of Joe, I just really hope this becomes a non-issue. I know the writers are all glad for something different to write about but this really isn't Torre-Steinbrenner Redux, so let's not try and make it that.
In more pleasant Marlins news, I enjoyed this piece on the starting rotation. Time will tell if Florida's kid pitchers can cultivate a nice little Barry Zito-Tim Hudson-Mark Mulder dynamic, plus two. But the maturation process should be fun to watch.
You are not wrong, sir.
