Cyn, completely with you on the “bother” of the sideline reporter, no matter who it is. It irks me when they interrupt the game to show us an interview, if it was something I wanted to see I would watch the pregame show.

What goes through anyone’s head when they decide to use cocaine?
I don’t know because I’ve never had the thought go through my head that I wanted to try it.
I agree, Ted, that the leash is going to be mighty short for the Rangers manager this year.

The Rangers better start out 30-0. ‘Cause that is about the only way this guy keeps his job. I’m sure Nolan Ryan is thrilled the story broke his manager tested positive 2 weeks before Opening Day; I can almost guarantee he’s got a list of possible replacements on speed dial. I cannot understand what goes through these guys heads.

Cyn, I was at the game until the end today and didn’t hear any groan after Carl Beane said “happy St. Patrick’s Day”.
I didn’t know I was Irish until a few years ago. My parents always said we had no Irish in us. After I started doing my family genealogy I found Irish on my Dad’s side in the early 1800’s and on my mother’s side about 1850. I doubt either of them knew about the Irish connection.

I don’t think I know if I’m Irish either. My mom’s side: half French, half Italian. I know that. My dad’s: mutt. He always says he’s “Pennsylvania Dutch,” but I don’t know what the hell that means. I think there’s German and English in there, and there must be Irish in there too, but until I ask him, I don’t know. People who don’t know if they’re Irish unite!! How come WE don’t get a day?

Comment on That is just so typically me by Cyn

I was listening to the Astros feed when the Astros broadcasters mentioned that not only was Garciaparra on the team but he was coming up to bat. I assumed, incorrectly, that Abraham would have been paying better attention one way or the other (if not at the game then listening to it so he could write intelligently about it).

I can forgive the Ft Myers newspaper more than I can the guy who covers the Red Sox and is in Ft Myers right now for the SOLE purpose of covering the Red Sox.

In the Ft. Myers newspaper this morning, the box score showed Garciaparra playing for the Red Sox and not the Astros. When I read your blog I thought maybe I’d read it wrong so went back and checked. Nope, he’s listed as playing with the Sox.

Great idea of a blog! She’ll have to get to Arlington to rate their park and so I can buy her a beer!

I was really disappointed to have missed being able to see him pitch – especially since he did so well!

Cyn, I was thinking of you and Kelly the minute Javier came into the game today. I also knew the feed from NESN wasn’t working and you probably weren’t seeing him.
That certainly was an odd triple play to end the game. I’m glad I stayed until the end.
