My Morning in Exile


When you have Wednesday off work, Thursday is Monday. Considering that Monday sucks and that I never really got the hang of Thursdays, I'm just really off my game today. Maybe I'd feel better if opposing counsel in one of my cases were to call me and say he was going to "take a meat axe" to me. Damn, that happened this morning too, and it only made me feel happy for a little while. Sigh.

  • You know you've done something wrong in this world when lying drug dealer who was once implicated in an alleged date-rape drug incident (and lied to police about it) sues you for defamation of character . . . and has the stronger case.


  • The whole Mauer-is-talking-to-the-Twins thing from yesterday? Nope. There's no there there. Which reminds me: he's not talking to Oakland either.
    • .

  • The only thing I could think that would be worse for a player than being released is to be traded to the Venezuelan League.


  • We interrupt this "Yankees Buy Everyone!" complaint-fest to report that the Angels may in fact be willing and able to keep their high profile free agents.


  • Seeing Derek Jeter in another team's uniform would be like, hell, I dunno, seeing Michael Jordan or Joe Montana playing for someone other than the Bulls and 49ers. Wait. Bad examples.


  • One day there will be only two categories of former Braves players: those who the Royals have signed, and those who died before they got the chance. Though I hear that Moore is willing to give Lefty Tyler a look-see.


    • I should totally set up a status conference in the case with the meat axe guy for November 30th.
