Brief comments...
...while I watch the World Series. I'll try to keep these to one line on the edit screen. No footnotes either.
- In case you're wondering, yes, I am irritated that Sean Casey is playing in the WS now.
- I love baseball, but I hate both teams in the WS. I'm watching, but I want everyone to lose.
- I don't like this kind of speculation, but Ivan Rodriguez hasn't really been "Pudge" for a while.
- I'm glad the beard has made a comeback. Alas, mine doesn't connect.
- It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown was on tonight. It is the only part of Halloween I like.
- Q: How are Dolph and Jay-Z related?
- A: Neither's retirement lasted very long.
- I want to watch AT&T Home Turf starring Deion Sanders like I want super-lupus.
- Re-reading it, my big wedding post is a big embarrasment. I sound like an 16-year old emo kid.
- You know, The O.C. starts back next week, and I haven't seen any FOX promos. Odd.
- Wait, no, not odd -- the show blows.
- Jeff Weaver and his hilariously long blond hair look so out of place in the Midwest.
- Okay, Standoff, I'm glad that Ron Livingston is getting work, but when you start ripping off bad Denzel Washington message movies, might be time to hang it up.
- If you haven't already, go see The Departed.
- The Cardinals currently have an outfield of an old Jim Edmonds, Preston Wilson, and So Taguchi. These are your (probable) 2006 World Champions.
- You know, during the Super Bowl, all the Detroit media stories you'd hear were about "rebirth," "renaissance," etc. The very few stories I've heard during the WS have all told the truth; one called Michigan the "Mississippi of the Midwest". Tells you something about the NFL's ability to control the media/stay on message. Or it's nothing.
- Broke the rule there. Damn.
- ENOUGH WITH THE FUCKING "GOD BLESS AMERICA" ALREADY! One superfluous patriotic song a game is more than enough, MLB.
- The "up and coming R&B group" that tried to sing the above song is called "Varcity". Really? "Varcity"? That's how the kids roll these days?
- Rhetorical question #1: if a pitcher commits an error that leads to a run, why isn't it an ER?
- Rhetorical question #2: is this post's theme working for you? Should this be a regular feature? Inasmuch as anything is "regular" on this blog, anyway?
- Several one-word reviews of various things:
- The Departed: best.
- Scrubs reruns: godsend.
- The Hold Steady: genius.
- Jim Leyland: grizzled.
- Tony LaRussa: overrated.
- Joe Buck: prick.
- Tim McCarver: senile.
- Tom Greaves: tiresome.
- How do you walk Preston Wilson, Fernando Rodney? He swings at more pitches than Adam Dunn.
- I'll be back in the 'nati from Dec. 21-Dec. 27. Set your plans to be snubbed by me now.

I have already used up all my vacation time, so I we will be around in December. Feel free to stay over at our place. We have yet to set up a cot in the basement, so you would have to stay in the guest room.
I like the format although you should use more ellipses.
