Latest opinions

there's almost been too much going on lately to comment. my brain has been on overload with everything going on in my favorite sport and with my home team (astros). i will share those opinions (and believe me, there are opinions) on the baseball blog.

this is an extremely busy time for me at work (as you can imagine...everyone drinks more during the holidays), and i hadn't had a chance to read the mitchell report yet (still haven't). i've been hearing things here and there, and micah occasionally calls me throughout the day and updates me if he hears something on his talk radio shows, but i have yet to get into all of it myself. as my sis and i were talking yesterday, she said she'd send me the link to the pdf, and i received that email today. since my schedule today is a little bizarre, i am home between lunch and my afternoon and evening appointments (my plan was to do paperwork, but i got on the computer instead). hence the mid-afternoon blog.

as i signed into my email account, i came across an article (and here's another one) that caught my attention. curt schilling (pitcher for the boston red sox..."the bloody sock" guy from the world series a few years back) was calling on roger clemens to return 4 of his cy young awards if he could not refute the evidence against him. hmmm, that's bold...and i like it! as i continued to read, i discovered that mr. schilling has his own blog (who doesn't?), so i went there.

what i discovered in a few brief reads is that i think curt and i would get along famously. i would love to at least have a conversation with him. it seems to me that he has a good head on his shoulders. i don't necessarily agree with everything he believes politically, but i agree with his outlook on politics in general. i like the fact that he tells people to think for themselves. i like the fact that he seems to be realistic. he understands that actions have consequences (he makes that clear in his views on what's happening in baseball right now and with the topic of war in the middle east).

anyway, just thought i'd share. it's not every day that i run across a "celebrity's" opinion that doesn't make me roll my eyes and laugh (and get frustrated with the stupidity of our country's idols). his opinion's are educated, honest, and straightforward, and i appreciate that. i especially like that he called himself out on his grammar in one of his posts...seriously, can i have lunch with him??

hopefully more blogging to come soon...
