My MLB All-Star Ballot

Go ahead pick it apart. Here is my MLB All-Star Ballot for this year, as of today. 

American League

• 1B - Davis, Chris
• 2B - Pedroia, Dustin
• SS - Andrus, Elvis
• 3B - Cabrera, Miguel
• C - Mauer, Joe
• DH - Ortiz, David
• OF - Jones, Adam
• OF - Rios, Alex
• OF - Trout, Mike

National League

• 1B - Goldschmidt, Paul
• 2B - Phillips, Brandon
• SS - Segura, Jean
• 3B - Headley, Chase
• C - Molina, Yadier
• OF - Braun, Ryan
• OF - Gonzalez, Carlos
• OF - Upton, Justin

 

Granted there are still another two months until the game so is it a real representation of what value they present to their given team in only six weeks of employment. I mean seriously they could tank or phone it in for the rest of the year. Of course these are only the position players the pitchers and reserves will be picked by SFO Bruce Bochy and DET's Jim Leyland. Do I dare to wonder who their favorites will be?

Happy Mothers Day

Happy Mother to my Mom and all of the other Moms out there. Thank You for everything :-)

Happy Earth Day!!!

Help a friend out

On July 14th and 15th, a good friend of mine Matthew will be joining hundreds of other individuals on a two-day, 200 mile bicycle ride to fight HIV/AIDS in the Chicago area. His goal is $2,000, and he is at $1,055 so he needs a little help to make his final goal. I think what he is doing is pretty damn amazing, so if you can give him a bump closer to his final goal that would be Awesome.  

Here is the link to his donation page. I hope that you can help him out in anyway that you can. It's a worthy cause, and that ride is no small feet.

Wicked Good

To all of the Law Enforcement and First Responders in Boston, Massachusett and across the United Sates, Thank You for always doing a Wicked Good Jahb (job). 

If you are going to use a Boat for a get away. Make sure it is in the WATER, Not in WATERTOWN. Gotcha Mother Fucker!

I'm a Bostonian

It looks like the noose of justice is closing in on the person(s) responsible for the grotesque and cowardly acts that took place on Monday at the 117th running of the Boston Marathon. I felt that I finally needed to chime in. Like everyone else I felt outrage at the cost of human blood for whatever reason. Which is still yet to be discovered but as in the Newtown killing I do NOT want to know much else about the perpetrator(s). I just do Not think they deserve any attention beside what the final verdict is once they stand trial.

Because their reason what ever that maybe is invalid. I do not care if this was because of US policy foreign or domestic. That is Not how you gain sympathy for your cause. That IS NOT how things are done here in the US.There is nothing that they have to say that contains any meaningful arguments and all  statements should be silenced. They will get their day in court which is way more than they even deserve. Because these actions are NOT covered by the 1st Amendment.

 If that person is a US resident they should be stripped of their citizenship and then set afloat in a rubber dingy in the middle of the Pacific ocean. Trust me when I say this the other thoughts of punishment I have had, I'm pretty sure would violate US Laws and/or  UN Treaties on Human Rights, NOT that they deserve any. Fuck Them and maybe lady Justice will be kinder to them.

(Update: No arrest had been made the AP and CNN miss reported that. Though authorities are close to making an arrest. I have edited the current addition) Fingers Crossed the Get the FUCKER!
