Hotter'n Heck

The great Northeast heatwave continues...after a few days of "not so bad" temperatures, here we are back at 96 degrees. The shade is not so bad, but walking in the sun in BRUTAL.

Palmiero claims to have never "intentionally" taken stereiods, which I'm guessing is something akin to how one "accidentally" gets a Fusilli Jerry lodged up thier ass.

Item 2: Barry Bonds tells MLB.com that he will not play this season. San Francisco Chronicle reports that the arthritis in his knee has gotten so bad, me may never play again.

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Say it with me: "Awwwwwwwwww".

Behind The Wall of Sheep

I love the Smithereens and I always have, since the first time I heard the "Especially for You"LP back in the summer of 1986. WHOT...
