The Swamp

Through the top of the 3rd inning, it's Travis Hafner 4, the Cleveland Indians 3.

It was nice to see you again!

I was sick as hell for almost my entire stay, so I wouldn't have been able to get together, anyway.

Local honey helps, in my experience. But I had some allergy-related symptoms when I was in Denver last month and I took some Allegra. That stuff worked wonders for me. My brother-in-law had similar symptoms and I suggested he try it, and he texted me a few days later that it worked great for him, to...

Any company that greenlighted the PT Cruiser and the HHR should have gone out of business. Ha! When the PT Cruiser first came out, I was given one by a rental company.

@TheBig_Sam comments on Thatcher's passing:

Was right at the tail-end of a sensational, lunchtime wank when I heard the news about Thatcher. Near ripped my fucking bellend off. Superb.

Blackpool led 1-0 at the half, but Forest scored in the 82nd minute on a penalty to level. Blackpool's Isaiah Obsourne was given a straight red in the second half, which Paul Ince has called "laughable". The team is appealing the red card.

I know umpires are human and all, but CB Bucknor made two really horrible calls at second base tonight in the Indians-Rays game. It didn't impact the game (the Indians were shut out for the second straight night), but still, how much longer can fools like him and Angel Hernandez have jobs?

Zack Cozart has five RBIs tonight.

What the fuck.

Huh. So that's where Darren Pang is making a living.

I don't like the Blackhawks at all, but I'll give them props for playing "Head Like a Hole" by Nine Inch Nails during a break in the action.

I'd use the live version of "Primary" by The Cure from their concert video "The Cure in Orange".

This guy is awesome, for all sorts of reasons.

Josh Willingham's walk-up music is "I Don't Want to Lose Your Love" by The Police. Which is kind of an...unusual choice I'd say. As long as he puts up fantasy numbers like last year, he could come out to "Mmmm ... Bop" for all I care. (Speaking of Willingham, I've seen speculati...

Thanks for the heads up.

Boo. Anyway that can be adjusted?

I think changing that requires administrator access, even if it can be changed. There's nothing in the moderator control panel that allows us to adjust those kinds of settings.

There are many empty seats at the Cubs-Pirates game, but I guess the threat of snow might discourage some people from attending.

Wait, Luis Valbuena has a MLB job? Damn, the Cubs must be horrendously awful.

Huge game in Blackpool today, as the Tangerines hosted the Ian Holloway-led Crystal Palace at Bloomfield Road.

From what I remember of my FHA loan, there was no PMI.

Supposedly this is the most distant image of Earth, taken by Voyager 1 at some point. I don't have a date for the image.

Get an FHA loan. Don't use all of your savings for the down payment. If you can swing it, get something you can fix up yourself and invest in sweat equity. Consider how long you want to live there when thinking about all of the above. Remember: There is ALWAYS something to fix when you buy a house, ...
