Odds & Ends

A few poignant thoughts as I drift through the week...

- "Baby Names"

OK, we've got it down to two names. If we don't decide soon, I'm going to hang a dart board on the wall, put a name on each half, blindfold myself, and fire away.

- "How 'Bout Those O's?"

Are they really as good as they look right now? Once we get into our bullpen, we're money. Our upcoming series vs. the Red Sox should shed more light.

- "LOST"

It's back! I don't just mean the show is back. It's been back on for a while but the new episodes were worse than the third season of the original Star Trek...we're talking 'Spock's Brain'-bad. Now the shows are kick-butt! It's been one jaw-dropper after another.

- "Diet Coke Plus"

OK, come on. Really. Diet Coke with vitamins? Caffeine, Nutra-Sweet...hey, let's add some vitamins. What the heck is that? Now we have Diet Coke, Diet Coke with Splenda, Caffeine Free Diet Coke, Coke Zero, Coke Black (or "Blak"), C2, Diet Coke with Lime, Diet Coke with Lemon (or 'Pledge Coke' as we like to call it), Cherry Coke, Diet Cherry Coke, Vanilla Coke, and Diet Vanilla Coke. Did I miss any? At what point does Coke realize that it has over-saturated the market?

- "WWE"

We've got our tickets! I'm taking my 10-year-old in May to see THE UNDERTAKER! We can't wait.
