CLUTCH!!!!!



Is it me or does it look like the dog had a stroke about halfway through?

Fun story, at least to me. Got a message on the answering machine this weekend congratulating my wife and I on our new baby. Very nice message. Really sweet people. But we don't have kids. At all. Even close. I felt a little bad because i kept playing it over and over and laughing. Because i'm that asshole. I debated calling them back and thanking them for calling and telling them that baby and mom are doing great. But i didn't. Because i'm not THAT asshole.

Baseball stuff:
Detroit Tigers. I could not be happier with the trades they've made. Sending Chris Shelton to Texas for a speedy outfielder was a great move because the team has gotten a lot slower, other than Granderson. Getting two young, proven All Stars for prospects (really good prospects, but still prospects) is amazing. As someone on talk radio said this morning, if Cameron Maybin and Andrew Miller reach their full potential, they'll be as good as Cabrera and Willis are right now. And they're still very young. Great move. Standing ovation. I do kind of hope they manage to hang onto Inge, because he's a defensive wizard and would be a great sub in the late inning of close games. Now, about that bullpen...

Drinking stuff:
Ever wonder how much you can drink and still be under the legal limit? (Oh. I'M the bad guy. I'M the lush. I'm just keeping it legal, man. Because i care about America, and the children.)

Political stuff:
Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney says there should be no religious test for President. Which means that he's in full agreement with, that one thing, umm, what do they call it? Oh yeah, the CONSTITUTION. Bravo Elder Romney.

Article VI of the United States Constitution:

All Debts contracted and Engagements entered into, before the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be as valid against the United States under this Constitution, as under the Confederation.

This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.

The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.
