Change in profile photo-Here's why

I am upset because my Cleveland Indians decided to have another fire sale. Mark Shapiro traded Cliff Lee and Ben Francisco for four suspects, err, prospects. This means that the Tribe continues in it's ways of being the farm system for the rest of Major League Baseball. This means that the next major fire sale should occur about 2013.

I decided that I should show my disdain by changing my profile photo. The cap I'm wearing has the number 14 on it. That is Sprint Cup Tony Stewart's number. Tony is one of my favorite drivers and doing much better this year than most had expected.

I've been a fan of NASCAR since 2003 and can now understand why the sport has so many fans. In the past 6 years, I've followed NASCAR closer than baseball, mainly because whenever I turn on a race, I know that my favorite drivers will be competing on the same track.

So...The change in the profile pic shows my discontent in my favorite baseball team, the whimpering wahoos.

GENTLEMEN! START YOUR ENGINES!

I'll send you an Orioles cap, if you want it! Just kidding....

I will DEFINITELY NOT send you a Ravens cap. I might lose you as a fellow blogger friend.

I haven't liked the Orioles caps since they went back to the full bird. I prefer the cartoon bird.

Thanks for the offer though.

Marlins fan here. Only because of the area I live in. I'm not huge into baseball, but I enjoy going to a few games a season. Anyway, both times we won the World Series we had our teams ripped apart so I kind of get where you are coming from.

Well the first time you won the World Series, Jose Mesa did everything but gift wrap it for you. And seeing that the team was put together one purchase at a time, it was fitting that the game winning hit in game 7 was by Edgar RENTarea.

Post 800: Time to chat

Hi Guys, It's hard to believe that this is post number 800 for this blog. I started this blog out of my desire to communicate. Since radio and television is becoming more and more automated and less and less personal, I'm glad I made the decision to go in this direction as it has given me many blessings. When I first decided to write my musings, a friend from the radio and television boards who goes by the name of newsnomore, told me not to be discouraged if I didn't get any readers. The fact that I did in the early going made me surprised and grateful that anyone was enjoying what I wrote. I've had people tell me that maybe it wasn't meant for me to ever be in radio, that maybe my calling was blogging. Nowadays I think blogging makes for better two way conversation than terrestrial radio, especially the way I do it, non confrontational. The closest I come from any confrontation is the innocent digs that Pat and I shoot at each other. On an average day I get betwee...

My job

I have worked at my company for, unofficially, 17 years. When I first started working there in June, 1992, the average work week was 55-57 hours. Sometimes you worked more than that. I was 36 years old at the time and I could handle the long hours and short nights of sleep. 17 years and three knee surgeries later, I need less hours work and more hours sleep. Even moving into a quasi desk job, I still find it difficult to crawl out of bed at 3am. I could get up later if I wanted to put up with both rush hours. But this morning, things will change slightly. I received a call from my department manager yesterday. I was notified that I had to cut my time down to 40 hours. This would be down from 44-45 that I normally work. No surprise there as all the other departments got notified before I was. And I had to split my time between plants, doing calibrations at the other shop 1-1/2 days a week. I'm actually looking forward to the change. I also like the prospect of getting an hour extra...

From a "Battleground State"

I am going to make this one short and sweet. I live in Ohio, in this election season, one of the so called "Battleground states," a state crucial for any candidate presidential hopes. Of course we have had many visits from presidential and vice presidential candidates. Other blogs have dissected both campaigns so I will not. The only questions I have is will the promises made by either of these candidates exclusive to these states be fulfilled, or will they prove only to be hot air?
