Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Jason Varitek hit a home run last night and now has 192 on his career. That lets him pass (for the time being) teammate Adrian Gonzalez. I wonder if Varitek has let Gonzalez know about this... Awesome collection of pre-1925 sports photos. The auto polo one may be my favorite... In the years to come Francisco Cervelli will have the same impact on the Red Sox / Yankees rivalry that Bob Montgomery had... More awesomesauce - Benedict Cumberbatch (the new Sherlock Holmes on BBC) does an impression of Alan Rickman singing Candle in the Wind... Metallic Snow would be a good name for an all-girl Metallica cover band... Not sure if Roald Dahl was funny or just plain strange... Not a fan of the phrase "unnecessary death and destruction". The phrase infers there is such a thing as "necessary death and destruction"... Speaking of awesome awesomesauce - this NFL special on Bill Belichick looks to be beyond awesome... I'm surprised you never see the show Northern Exposure on re-runs. No TV Land, no A&E, no nothing. It's disappointing... Any truth to the rumor that Derek Jeter dumped Minka Kelley because she shouted "Nomar" at an inopportune moment?...
