Ushering in the "new" month..

Happy birthday to my friend Katie, although she nor anyone else will ever probably stumble across this pitiful excuse of a blog.


Must say I like how the Blues ended the pre-Olympic season. A lot stronger performance, about how I've expected them to play ever since their best-2nd-half-record-in-NHL in early 2009. Finally. Hope this carries over..

And on the subject of BASEBALL (every day this winter gets a little bit brighter, a little bit greener)..

Just gonna say it now, but here's my early 2010 prediction, mostly because I like the kid (older than me but referring to him as a kid is still somehow legit), his mustache, and his personality and his skill-set and not because of any technical observations or clairvoyance:

Mark McGwire will open Brendan Ryan's eyes and Albert 'El 'The Mang' Hombre''/my mancrush Pujols will teach him a thing or 5 about baserunning and playing that clichéd hard 9 innings - culminating in a legitimate leadoff hitter batting .300+ with a .400+ OBP and enough speed to net 20 or more stolen bases. Said it, right here.

If not, he can still grow a badass mustache so it's ok.

~12 days 'til I can figure out whether or not I'll be able to attend my 2nd Spring Training in a row (and/or total).

peace
