Bronson is gone to Cincy.

For Wily Mo Pena, who strikes out one in every three at bats.

<Points at Red Sox Nation>

Hah, hah... </Nelson>

eta: Oops, not at bats, plate appearances.

Hah, hah... </Nelson>

I getting optomistic about the baseball season, I starting to think the Royals can be the next to worst team in baseball instead of being the worst.

This is on the heels of the Sox signing Juan "Gone" Gonzalez to a minor league deal. I'm telling ya, the Yanks must be trembling in their cleats.

---

The Royals used to have Juan Gonzalez, I think the record speaks for itself.

Nutty, did you hear the news? Bronson is gone to Cincy.

Oh no!! Poor Bronson. He so wanted to stay. I mean, he knew he was vulnerable to being traded, but, he really wanted to stay.

WTF. Wily Mo Pena?? That dude better have awesome hair and tell funny jokes. (If he's a good ballplayer, that will help too.)

Hm. This changes things in the rotation, doesn't it?

Shakespeare sonnet in ActionScript 2.0:

var summer:Object = {};
var thee:Object = {};

summer.name = "Summer Day";
thee.name = "Thee";

summer.lovelyness = 9;
thee.lovelyness = 10;

summer.temperature = 98;
thee.temperature = 98.6;

summer.lease = new Date(2006, 7, 31).getTime() - new Date(2006, 5, 1).getTime();
thee.lease = new Date(2042, 6, 12).getTime() - new Date(1970, 8, 25).getTime();

summer.complexion = 0xFFCC33;
thee.complexion = 0xFFCCCC;

summer.fair = 10;
thee.fair = 10;

(there's more on the other side of the link, but you get the idea)

That dude better have awesome hair and tell funny jokes.

Not so much.

If he's a good ballplayer, that will help too.

Um...

60 Minutes report on the Bush administration censoring science:

Hansen is arguably the world's leading researcher on global warming. He's the head of NASA's top institute studying the climate. But this imminent scientist tells correspondent Scott Pelley that the Bush administration is restricting who he can talk to and editing what he can say. Politicians, he says, are rewriting the science.

But he didn't hold back speaking to Pelley, telling 60 Minutes what he knows.

Asked if he believes the administration is censoring what he can say to the public, Hansen says: "Or they're censoring whether or not I can say it. I mean, I say what I believe if I'm allowed to say it."

...

Dozens of federal agencies report science but much of it is edited at the White House before it is sent to Congress and the public. It appears climate science is edited with a heavy hand. Drafts of climate reports were co-written by Rick Piltz for the federal Climate Change Science Program. But Piltz says his work was edited by the White House to make global warming seem less threatening.

Might not be news to some, but it's cool that 60 Minutes is covering this....

And be a musician, and be cute as button. Ben met Bronson. He autographed a ball for him, and was just really nice. He's going to be heartbroken. He was just talking about him this morning, because he couldn't figure out why the Sox had put him in the starting rotation.

I'm telling ya, the Yanks must be trembling in their cleats.

Yeah, just like the Providence...erm Newport...uh Rhode Island. Oh yeah, that's right.
