Miscellaneous Thoughts

Lots of windshield time today and lots of small miscellaneous thoughts like....

With the Jesus of Nazareth look going - how long before people start calling Johnny Damon - Johnny of Fort Riley? (Doesn't have the same ring to it - does it?)... Driving on the Mass Pike, I passed a guy who was reading the Daily Racing Forum while driving his car. That's a guy with a gambling problem... Looking back - the show Grizzly Adams with Dan Haggerty was pretty gay. A mountain man who lives with a bear and whose closest friend was another mountain man? I can't recall any women being involved with that show. Yup - gay show - not that there's anything wrong with that.... I thought about Grizzly Adams because it occurred to me that if Kevin Millar decided to join Johnny Damon in growing his hair and beard out - then he would look a lot like Dan Haggerty.... Last year the Red Sox had Kevin Millar as the Karaoke Guy singing Springsteen's Born in the USA. How about having Johnny Damon being this year's Karaoke Guy singing Nazareth's Love Hurts?.... I didn't see it but they say that yesterday at the Yankees' home opener Don Mattingly got the loudest ovation when he was introduced to the crowd (he's the batting coach this year). Even as a Red Sox fan - I was glad to hear that. To me it is so unfair that Wade Boggs will make the Hall of Fame and Don Mattingly won't.... Be sure to watch Band of Brothers on the History Channel - the series starts this Sunday.... With Mike Cameron playing in the NL this year - Johnny Damon has a good shot to win a Gold Glove.... If at any point in their careers Don Mattingly was offered to the Red Sox in exchange for Wade Boggs - the Red Sox would have made that deal in an instant. Yet Boggs is the one who will make it into the Hall of Fame. That is so not right.... I think a pretty could satire / spoof would be to have Grizzly Adams meet the Care Bears...
