2) Remember in April when I wrote that Mike Lowell was having an overrated season, and eventually his limited range, lack of patience and penchant for GIDP's would come back to bite the team? *pats self on back
3) Can someone institute a petition to request McDonald's to bring back its "two hash browns for $1" deal? Those golden-brown, grease-laden pieces of Heaven make for the world's best (and healthiest) breakfast. Imagine two hash browns washed down by an Arnold Palmer. I think I might faint.
4) Which travel option makes the most sense? Paying $195 for a roundtrip, 7-hour train ride to Washington D.C., or ponying up $161 for a roundtrip, one-hour and 45 minute Jetblue flight to Dulles, on which I have my choice of 40 cable channels and hundreds of XM satellite stations. Why does anyone ride trains again?
5) Jessica Biel AND Elisha Dushku took in Saturday night's Sox-Rangers game. Dear.God.
6) How badly do I not want to see Kobe win a title? I'll put it somewhere between "spinal tap" and "nuclear holocaust" on My List of Things I Hope Not to Experience.
7) During the Dave Matthews Band concert at Fenway -- I know what you're thinking and, look, Willie Nelson opened for him -- a 12 oz Miller Lite went for $8.25. I'm beginning to think this wasn't a wise investment.
8) Is it just me, or has anyone else ever wondered how a person becomes a ticket scalper? Are there certain qualifications for this job? Are they innate, or can these virtues be taught? The way I see it, to become an enterprising scalper you need all of the following:
a pair of dirty sweatpants (preferably gray)
a matching hoodie
3-week facial stubble
a BUM or Champs Sport windbreaker (cannot have been purchased after 1995)
a thick, indigenous accent
the ability to discreetly mutter the phrase "anybody need 'em" for 6 hours a day
a friend whose name ends with the sound "EE" -- Joey, Donnie, Danny, Murphy
most importantly: absolutely nothing exceeding a G.E.D.
