Almost baseball time...
Baseball season starts on Sunday, jumping right into the fire: Sox vs. Yankees.
Being a fan of the odd-style pitchers, I'm a little nervous that the Sox might not re-sign my favorite player, knuckleballer Tim Wakefield. Hopefully there's still a good chance he'll stay.
For reasons unknown, I've always been a big fan of the sidearm/submarine style pitchers. (Check out this great shot of Chad Bradford.) So I was glad that though the Sox got rid of one sidearmer, they brought another one back.

Cashman/Headwarmer Dialogues
The Cashman/Headwarmer Dialogues, Vol. 382
I don't know why I found these "conversations" between Yankees general manager Brian Cashman and his headwarmer so funny ... I just did.

Zoo photos
Sure, I've taken a few zoo photos before, but those suck compared to these -- flamingo & peacock.

Amelia's site
Several people (non-family members, if you can believe it) have "complained" that Amelia's site hasn't been updated in a while. Very true ... expect some photos and/or video in the upcoming weeks.

Baseball uniforms aren't supposed to have collars
Surviving Grady has a pretty funny commentary about baseball cards today. (OK, as an avid collector in the late 70s/early 80s, I thought it was funny ... your mileage my vary.)
One interesting thing he notes is the collars on the old Phillies uniforms. While watching an old Red Sox-White Sox game on ESPN Classic this week (Fisk's first game at Fenway not wearing red) I was constantly distracted by the horrible White Sox uniforms from 1981: black road jerseys -- untucked -- with a collar, and a big bland "SOX" on the cap to top it all off.

Typography humor
Typography joke for the day (from here):
Comic Sans walks into a bar and asks for a beer. Says the bartender: "Sorry, we don't serve your type here."I think that joke is up there with the photo of someone writing "Watch your kerning" next to graffiti in a design school's bathroom. But then again, I'm a geek...

Museum of bad album covers
Well, this is some good fun: the museum of bad album covers. There are some I've seen before -- The Many Facets of Roger, Man-O-War, and of course Devastatin' Dave the Turntable Slave. But there are plenty more. Browse them all -- or, if you're in a hurry, just check out the top (bottom?) 10.
