See The Sites!

I need to practice my linking skillz, so here are some of my favorite sites, and some silly ones I have just discovered.

Thanks to a shout out on Digg, I found this place: Bad Spock Drawings is just a bunch of... bad drawings of Mr. Spock. Hilarious. May the owner of this place Live Long and Prosper.

Anyone who has lived with a kitty knows they can be pretty funny. LOL Cats has funny pics of cats and a lot of them are subtitled with silly little things. I like to go there and just hit Random over and over. Excellent time killer.

Overheard in New York is popular with my New York pals, but they have stuff overheard from all over the country. Beware: This site is very much full of dirty words and racy comments. Not for the squeamish or easily offended! Here's the link to the Current Favorites, voted by the readers of the site.

I am a big ol' fan of Three Thieves wine. My favorite is the Pinot Grigio that comes in a one liter box. The stuff flies out of the two wine stores in my neighborhood that carry it, and the site has some funny videos about the winery and their wine. I'm pretty sure you can buy the stuff from their site, so give it a try!

Lastly, here is a silly video I found on YouTube, Guys Jumping Into Jeans. YouTube is fun, isn't it?

So Far, So OK

I am writing this on my Dad's birthday, which is fitting, since he is one of the reasons I love baseball. Happy Birthday Dad!

The first month of baseball is over, and the Yankees are hovering right around the .500 mark. Considering everything, not too shabby. We have a new Manager in Joe Girardi, whom I love. He was the regular catcher back in the 90s when Jorge Posada was first coming up, and Joe taught him and helped make him into the great player he is today. It is also nice to have someone in the dugout who not only used to play with some of these guys, but who shows some emotion. As much as I loved Torre, he always had that dead-eyed look, no matter what the team was doing. Girardi has how he's feeling written all over his face. I like it.

Much like last year, we have a plethora of injuries to contend with. Jorge with his tendinitis, A-Rod with his strained quad, Brian Bruney with his busted ankle, and add in the less than stellar outings from the newbie pitchers Ian Kennedy and Phil Hughes (who is now on the DL with a cracked rib!). There is also the major slumps of Giambi and Robinson Cano, two players who can't seem to get their batting averages off the Interstate. With all of that, I will take .500.

The good news for the Yankees? Johnny Damon is healthy as a horse. I forgot how that man can run! Oh, can he run.... Add in the ever reliable Hideki Matsui, Derek Jeter and Bobby Abreau, and the team is doing just fine. I am already sick of the NY press writing the team off. It's been one month people! Take a freakin' chill pill.

As for other baseball stuff? Eh, it's early, so I haven't gotten into all the standings much. It is shocking to have The Tampa Bay Rays doing so well (did the name change really fix what was wrong with the team?). Peeking over at Joe Torre's new team, I see that the Dodgers are holding their own against the dreaded Diamondbacks. I am definitely rooting for someone to take them down, it might as well be the Dodgers.

Holy smokes, can you believe I got through a whole baseball post without putting up a picture of Jeter? Sometimes I amaze even myself.
