It's That Time Again

The lowdown for today:

Sox start playoffs. Time to get back in the saddle.

I am equally excited about the Celtics start training camp. Mark Blount may actually show up this year. From what I saw of media day, PP looks slimmed down, maybe for a move back to the 2?

Sports Guy book signing tonight. Planning out what my sign will say...

My new toy should be delivered tomorrow.

Morrissey has named his new album Ringleader of the Tormentors. Doesn't actually roll off the tongue now does it? Tony Visconti has been brought in to produce, taking over for Jeff Saltzman. Check out some of these song titles for older tunes that never made it on a proper album, "Stay As You Are", "Laughing Annie", "Nightmare", "Hanratty", "Fast Car, Sharp Bend, Goodbye" and "The Leeches Go On Removing".

And to top it off, we were just informed we have Friday and Monday off. Sweet!

The word on Arcade Fire.

De La to perform with the Gorillaz. Hott.

Hilarious! Not much fun to be on the wrong end of a fuzzy math tiebreaker, is it? Have I mentioned that I hate Yankees? Why do they ALWAYS get to play the primetime game?

Special shoutout to friend and (good natured) adversary Bob Cook, who is now writing for MSNBC. Nice one. Now if he can do something about the absurd amount of time it takes for MSNBC's page to load on my computer...
