Biggio the new Costanza???

When I heard Craig Biggio, Houston Astro great, was given the title "assistant to the general manager" I could not help but think of our old friend George Costanza. I wonder what Biggio's job description is? Will he be buying tacos for the owner at lunchtime? Is he sleeping under his desk as I type this very sentence?

How about that high school football player accepting an imaginary scholarship at Cal? Doesn't he make Rick Nitto seem tame by comparison?

Anyone hear the new Jack Johnson album? Thus far I give it a B- and while I enjoy some of the songs, I believe most of his previous efforts were superior. Anyone with new musical artists/suggestions?

A book recommendation: "The geography of Bliss" by Eric Weiner. It was an enjoyable read that certainly made me think about what is important in life.

I am watching Roger Clemens go down in flames. Andy Pettitte, a good friend of his, blew him in too. Priceless. Roger may end of sharing a jail cell with Barry. An interesting thought: what athlete taking steroids/performance enhancers would be the biggest deal? I say Tiger Woods.

I ask that we begin "heating up the hot stove" to borrow an old-time baseball term for the long winter months. Once fantasy football season ends, our online communication does so as well. (by the way I will forever loathe Kyle F'n Orton, Bears QB that cost me 2nd place) I know all about facebook and myspace (thanks to everyone who posts pictures), but i think some of us can appreciate this forum as well. An arena for our eyes only. Post if you wish. You can ignore all this if you'd like. But as distance and age seperate us, we need a way to remain in touch.
