Thoughts 2

- President Obama or "O" as my dad thinks its cool to call him, is almost through his hundred day sprint. I think he's doing pretty well. So do you.

- Phillies - Brewers. Hoping your way through a rain game sometimes makes it that much sweeter, even when they lose.

- The Ting Tings - That's Not My Name - Honestly the song won't leave my head and I'm happy about it.

- Pirates are still cool.

- Anyone else think that guy from Freddie Mac may NOT have killed himself?

- If you have a XBOX360 or PC go out and get Left 4 Dead immediately. Intense experience.

- Thank you for reading.

Bye, Harry

Bye, Harry Kalas. Kruk's thoughts:

This was a very tough day because we just lost a legend. Losing Harry Kalas isn't just a tough loss for the Philadelphia Phillies organization or for the Phillies' fans. It's a tough loss for sports fans everywhere because Harry transcended Philadelphia and baseball. If you knew about sports, you'd heard about Harry Kalas.

This guy touched so many people with his warmth and his great talent. I've received numerous phone calls from friends who never had the pleasure of meeting Harry, people who knew him only from telecasts. And to a man, every one of them was in tears because they felt as if they'd just lost a member of their family. He was in our homes every day, and the thought of his not being there tomorrow and the day after is almost unbearable. This hits especially close to home for me because I was lucky enough to call Harry a friend. The first time I ever met him was when I was playing for the Padres and we traveled to Philadelphia for a series and some teammates and I met him. I remember being struck by how nice a legend could be. The next time I met him was after I became a Phillie and I really got to talk to him. We did an on-field interview, and it was great because we were able to talk beforehand and I got some insight from this veritable walking baseball encyclopedia. I'll miss those types of talks. I'll miss a lot now that Harry is gone. I'll miss the rides he and I would take when the team would travel to New York to play the Mets and he and I would be driven there in a car and just talk baseball and drink some beers. I could ask him anything baseball-related and he'd know the answer because he had seen so much. He and I played cards together on the plane and hung out together in the offseason, and I never missed an opportunity, even now, to talk to him when I went to the ballpark. Like so many others, I sought him out whenever I went to the old stadium, even after I retired. As sad as I am that I lost such a great friend, I'm glad that he passed away in the only place he probably could ever imagine leaving this world -- in the booth. Harry, I'll miss you, and so will so many others.

This is Jack White's new band. Female singer from the Kills from last post. Good stuff.

St. Patty's Day

Aquí está el nuevo poste del blog.


It passed a week ago and I just don't get it. I'm pretty Irish myself and the last thing I want to do is drink green beer, receive Green beads or any of that other crap they do. Give me a nice quiet tavern where I can secure a pint and nice conversation, I say. I do love those little coconut-cinnamon dealies, though.

Also, I'd like to thank the crazy squatter who decided to throw paint all over my Jeep. You suck. You really suck.

I'm sure you've heard the Paper Planes song unless you've been living under a rock, but MIA fires in your ear with a ferocity and sound you'll likely never hear again. Produced by Timbaland methinks...
Get the album if: You like tribal beats, Sri Lankan Hip-hop, don't mind an Indian influence, aren't afraid of unfamiliar music and love to groove with an edge.
