Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Alex Rodriguez needs one more run to pass Cal Ripken for 31st place all-time with 1648. You know that passing Ripken means something to A-Rod... My respect for Bono just dropped several notches. On Twitter he's following both Tony Robbins (not much of a problem) but Yoko Ono? WTF?... Who knew? Eric Aybar of the Angels is the hottest hitter in MLB - hitting .420 over the last 30 days. Aybar's improved performance this year is in large part due to cutting down his strikeouts from 1 every 7.69 AB to 1 every 9.23 AB... Quote of the day: "God is an intelligible sphere, whose center is everywhere and circumference nowhere" How deep is that?... With Boston retiring Jim Rice's #14 - I wonder how many Red Sox fans will now starting playing Keno slips with the numbers 1,4,6,8,9,14 and 27? All 7 numbers wins $5k on a $1 bet using the Mass Lottery... Way cool - Billy Mays Gangsta Remix - now the scratch has met its match!
