“Rey Bucanero”, Right Wing, Sniper.
Think I scored 1 goal and picked up an assist in the prospects game. Was drafted 7th (?) by the Dallas Stars. Spent most of the first half of the season on the Texas Stars (least creative team name ever, and there sure are a lot of AHL teams in Texas.)
Stats:
AHL: [...]
If Xavier Nady’s 2010 is 85% of Xavier Nady’s 2008, it gives the Cubs a much improved backup at the corner outfield positions and first base. It pushes Micah Hoffpauir off the team, but Micah had really pushed himself off the team with his 2009 struggles.
The concerns are
everyone’s been very careful to say Nady MAY [...]
Marlon Byrd for 2009 seems like a fine enough idea, but I hated that deal when it was announced. It’s yet contract made longer than it needed to be, and weighed towards the end, making the player harder to move as his performance goes down. That’s the formula Hendry’s stuck to, and it’s only caused [...]
Because why write three posts when you can make it one? Things get longer once I start writing them.

We’ve been pretty much spared a blizzard this week, maybe by all of two degrees. Lots of precipitation, but the thermostat has been hanging around the 34 (1!) degree, and so things haven’t gone completely off the [...]
I’ve recently started using Remember the Milk as a cloud based task manager service. It’s helpful for the obvious reasons, reminding me to do stuff (gotta go pick up dry cleaning as soon as I get done with this) and as an idea dump place, but I actually more enjoy it just for the sense [...]
So. Uncharted 2 comes out in about 24 hours, so there goes the chances of getting anything done the rest of the week. It’s not like I ever finish writing a post for this without distractions, and this will make sure I won’t (hopefully!) Instead of wasting, I figure I might as well reuse – [...]
Not making it to the Cougars game. Not making it within 200 miles.
They lose tonight, and it’s over. So it’ll be over.
Len & Bob drove me crazy Tuesday, talking about their bingo cards as part of the Cubs giveaway that night.
Craziness can be the best inspiration. Print and play Monday night:
I don’t really believe what the Score has been pushing the last couple of days, that Lou and the Cubs are done with each other as soon as they’re mathematically eliminated. (Though, they always have to get themselves a shiny new toy each season and there’s not going to be payroll to get a player.) [...]
Was walking outside around 11 (a totally normal thing), and I noticed there was a car sitting in the street behind our row of houses. A car slowly driving behind the houses and slowing to a stop for a moment is not new, but a car just parked there is kinda strange even for this [...]
