Injuries are beginning to crush my Van Buren Boys' teams. In the mixed league I now have Byrnes, Sheffield, Schmidt, and Carmona all on the shelf. In the NL league I boast Andruw Jones, Pedro Martinez, Rafael Furcal, and Clint Barmes. Ryan Zimmerman is probably headed there soon, as he hasn't played at all this week for me either. Zimm leads a VBB lineup that is in a lot of trouble this week playing without 2 guys, and having my best hitter in a bit of a slump right now. Luckily Randy Winn continues to be the man and he is keeping me in it.
Some noted transactions this week. I picked up 1-8 Barry Zito and Jason Giambi who had been hitting .211 as of Mid May. Call it a hunch, but I think these guys are going to have huge 2nd halfs.
I would like to start a new segment called "Quote of the Week". I actually wanted to start this last week, so I am going to lead off with 2 entries.
The 1st 2 winners both go to my wife. We'll start with the inaugural quotes:
Week of May 18th: When skimming through the DVR'd programs I noticed that Laura had decided to record the "Bachelorette". I asked her about it and she said "Yeah, I'm kind of into it this year, it's a girl this time."
And now the winning entry for this week, May 25th:
While getting her teeth cleaned by her MJ I watched Avery and Hannah in the waiting room until it was time for my cleaning. I eventually brought the girls back to the dental office because it was really hot in the waiting room and Hannah wanted to get down to crawl. Laura said "Don't let Hannah crawl around here, there is plaque flying everywhere!!" Yep, that's a winner! Congrats to LBB for her 1st 2 entries.
Who will make this list next?? I'll be searching for the next great quote, so Bring It!!

Various Items..Catching up AGAIN
I'm doing a pathetic job of keeping this up to date. Let's try it again...
Bowling is over..thank goodness. The absolute worst year I have personally ever had on the lanes. I waited 37 weeks for a good match, and well, I guess I will have to wait until week 1 of next year because 38 and 39 were no better. We got bludgeoned in the 1st round of the playoffs and that was that. I'm looking forward to collecting my money at the banquet though. :)
How impressive are the Dodgers? Is Joe Torre the difference? Could I be that wrong about the importance of a baseball manager?? Maybe this is so. An impressive start to a team that had most of these components last year but just couldn't get anything done. Rafael Furcal has been a pleasant surprise as well, which makes me happy as I look to defend my KBSL title. No, it hasn't gone well so far, but I'm going to stick with it and hope for the best.
Is their a more overrated piece of clothing then a coat? Yes, there are times when they are needed, but those are really few and far between. I mean why do you wear a coat to work if you jump in your car, drive there, get out and walk right into your building and then take it off. That's not as bad as when you go shopping, or out to eat and then struggle to find a place to put the coat while you are inside. Of course if you wear it, you'll roast. For the most part, I'm done with the jackets.
Thumbs up to the new tax refunds we all just got. I dig it. I doubt it will ultimately boost the economy, but it surely is a nice gesture. I'll be sure to buy at least one new item with it so that I am not being Anti-American.
Tomorrow is Mother's Day, and we are heading to Hershey Park for the day, weather permitting. I think it should be a cool time, and I am starting to get pretty excited about going. You can never see that Chocolate World Tour too much, and if I see the Hershey Kiss walking around I just may give him a shot!! (Inside Joke..but hysterical.)
American Idol Season Whatever it is... In a nutshell, this season sucks. David Cook should win, but the writing is on the wall for him after last week and it is Archuleta who will win this thing. My prediction?? David Archuleta will be the 2nd worst AI ever. No one can ever top Taylor Hicks, but this guy will be close. I bet he will have 1 heck of a Christmas Album though. He's got so many things on his side right now, it's inevitable the "Prodigy" Will win it all.
Lastly, I have to mention Survivor in this post. Erik, one of the "Fans" this year has got to go down as the dumbest contestant of all time in the history of Survivor. 4 people get voted off in front of him by the girls alliance, and blindsided and when in the final 5 he gives up his immunity idol necklace!?!? This kid may be cut out to be a Ice Cream Scooper all his life after that stupidity he showed.
