Do it here, so to speak:

Not surprisingly, A. Pujols is leading. He's pretty good. In fact, I think he could play regularly in the American League.

Anybody wanna vote for a 1st Month MBP? Y'axe me, there have been some fine months by individual Birds, but we're at such a low ebb at the moment that I find it hard to get excited over this, which is, of course, exactly what SHE sa...oh, forget it.

In other fill-up-the-minimum-word-requirement news, there's an all points Major Media Feeding Frenzy Alert, as today begins the season's first Crooshul See-rees pitting Tito and the Dimsox vs. The Most Storied Franchise in Professional Sports Run by Jerks. The  former are hot, having just swept 1 outta 4 from their FLA daddy, which is just about to spank our arses, too.

Yes, we invade The Trop tonight, and judging by yesterday's coverage of the Sawx game there, the locals stil haven't invested in a couple large cans of green spray paint to make the rug look, well, less like a rug on TV, at least. I remember last year a visiting Rays fan, outraged that anyone could critizice their venue, asked me on this site whether I'd actually *been* to The Trop-- to which I somehow resisted replying "Do you actually have color TV? Have you looked at your field on ithe screen? If you're going to insist on having your fine team play on a pool table, you could at least make the felt *green* so we can share the illusion." I wonder if the new-stadium bond issue is alive again...

Anyway, if the guy comes back, I won't hesitate this time. Go O's!
