terry ryan: out
check it. interesting. it\’ll be fun to follow this to see if this is a legit retirement or more of a suggested one. i\’ve questioned some of ryan\’s moves pretty openly on these pages, but agree with alex in thinking that he\’s made the best out of a bad situation (read: pohlad\’s tightwaddedness.) in other…

twins to boof: less beef
from ye olde strib: Bonser, 24, is listed on the roster at 6-4 and 260 pounds. Manager Ron Gardenhire said Bonser has worked hard to maintain that weight all season, but now the team wants to see how he will do by shedding about 10 to 15 pounds. Gardenhire said he has spoken to strength…

random acts of shrubbery
*this* is why i stay away from the news. first. ok, so i\’m pretty sure dubya gets a lot of info thrown at him each day. i\’m guessing much of it is beyond his comprehension, of course, but i do believe him when he says he doesn\’t recall the exact moment he learned that tillman\’s…

for internal use only
voice inside my head #1: oh. awesome. was anyone going to tell me that i spilled chili on my tie? voice inside my head #2: listen, dipshit: you have an orange-ish red tie on. nobody noticed. even if they did, nobody cares. voice inside my head #1: oh. right. good point.

whoop-de-doo
i fired off the website of my currently imploding former employer this morning and saw the following headline: Angels Are Gone; Help is Coming because i\’m an idiot, i got excited. oooh– did we finally pry wiggington out of tampa? were we able to score dmitri young so we can have a non-embarrassing DH? sosa,…
