Hey guys, I’ll be at this game again! So you know, just like last time, if you see the white guy, be sure to say hi. It’ll be me.

I won't!

So if you see a tall white guy with a pregnant Chinese American woman and a ridiculously cute toddler, don’t say hi – they might be crazy people!

I’ll be at home, working. We were thinking about going on Sunday, though.

July 4th overseas = teh suck

if you’re American. Otherwise it’s pretty much just a day. That’s the root of teh suck. Teh ubersuck is the expat community trying to do something (which invariably doesn’t include fireworks, flags or parades, nor a keg, and devolves quickly into shop-talk, rumormongering and bitching about the locals), and the locals trying to help and getting it all wrong (“ID4 Party”? WTF? Yes, George Jefferson was our first black president in the 70’s…)

At least in Malaysia you can get good KFC original or crispy with biscuits and cole slaw. From the second floor of KL Sentral to the rocky beaches of Penang, let the Colonel’s version of freedom ring!

Sabean Says

The good news is that he says the young trio of arms is untouchable. Also, he isn’t looking for a rental even though we’re only 5 out. He’s gonna hold on to Bengie. But, he also wants to hold onto Winn, so we will still have way too many outfielders. Luckily he is willing to trade Omar, who no one will want, Durham, who someone might want, and Aurillia, the guy I was hoping would take over Rally Killer’s job.
