Good sign, bad sign

First the Good:

I'm pretty excited about the Red Sox winning the bidding war for the right to negotiate with Matsuzaka from Japan. I remember watching this guy in the WBC and no one could hit him. Anyone who throws in the high 90's and has 4 pitches will probably do well in the Majors. I see him struggling a little to start off because there will be a lot of pressure on him, but I'm already excited to see what happens. The Sox better sign him.

Now the Bad:

Seriously, Vinny Testaverde? That's a joke right? Over the last few years, whenever the Patriots played a team and Testaverde was the opposing quarterback, I knew the Pats would win. He makes a lot of plays, but he always kills his team when it matters most. He's like the anti-Brady. I would rather Matt Cassel gets a chance over Vinny. At least he was good enough to back up Palmer and Leinart at USC. Give the kid a chance. Don't count on grandpa Vinny to get the Pats anywhere.

I just looked up Cassel's bio on the official Patriots webpage, and I'm quite impressed. Looks like he was quite a baseball player. He played in the little league world series and he was actually drafted by the Oakland A's. Both of his brothers play minor league ball. At USC he had the highest GPA of all upperclassmen so he's a smart guy. He played some tightend, wide receiver and quarterback while at USC. Looks like the kid can do it all. Is he the new Brady? Let's get him in the game and find out!

Stan the man

Since I haven't posted in a while, I think this is the perfect opportunity to make a fool of myself.

Here is the setup: Below are a few pictures of myself as I was preparing for my Halloween Costume. I was going as Stan from Office space. Stan was the manager of Tchotchkies (no idea if I spelt that right) Restaurant. Pam went as Jennifer Aniston's character.

Photoshop was not involved in any of the pictures below. It took me about 3 weeks to grow the beard in the first picture. Then I had some fun with the razor. My favorite is definitely the Fu Manchu in the third picture.

Doesn't it look like I'm some type of serial killer or something in the final picture? Now that's pretty scary.




Below is the finished product. People told me all night that they couldn't talk to me because I looked so ridiculous.
