Watched my team win with a walk-off homer, then switched channels and watched my brother’s team win with a walk-off homer.

Bummed I’m not at the Cards game with @__, but it’s awesome seeing my crazy little nephews & having fun hanging out with their parents.

Surprisingly ended up with several bruised fingers after yesterday’s corkball game. Maybe a batting glove would help?

Pretending I live in Australia again.

“If at all possible” is among the most common wastes of 18 letters I can think of. “I can think of” is among the top for 14 letters.

OH, AT LUNCH ON THE ROOFTOP, RE: INDEPENDENCE DAY - “WE HAD JEFFERSON, WHO WAS ON THE OTHER SIDE? CHURCHILL, I THINK. YEAH, OR KING EDWARD.”

AH, BILLY MAYS’S HEART WAS TOO BIG. MAKES SENSE, ON SEVERAL LEVELS. I HATE HOW “SUDDEN DEATH” SOUNDS, BUT IT’S PROBABLY THE BEST WAY TO GO.

In case you haven’t seen it, the Billy Mays ESPN ads are fantastic. Here’s my favorite: tr.im/qapz

I’m surprised “I wish it had been the Shamwow guy” isn’t a trending topic yet.

Wow, Billy Mays died. I would’ve barely known who it was last year, but I’ve enjoyed Pitchmen & thought about a Woot connection someday.

I have some fear we traded a may-be Danny Haren for a could-be Mark Mulder, but logically this Derosa trade makes sense & seems right.

Pujols hits two home runs, and the MLB TV play of the day is his defensive play. I love it.

Finally saw Star Trek in theater. Thought I’d waited too long. Quite enjoyable. Nokia & Budweiser product placements grated, but survivable.

Did a little garden work, then went to the Loop. Committed to a serious level of A/C for the rest of the day.

Maybe some of the Cardinals’ video prowess is due to FSMW being 1 of 3 team networks with a dead-center outfield camera: tr.im/pZ0X

I want an iPhone app like Shazam, but for bird calls. I hold it up to the tweeting & it IDs and displays the bird.

There needs to be a site that lists all the various parish carnivals each weekend. I need a Scrambler!

It feels like the worst record in baseball is always worse than the best record is best. I wonder how often it’s that way.

Wow, Bruno cut a Michael Jackson scene in the hours before the debut: tr.im/pUVO Wonder if anyone knew they were on top of his star.

I remember gushing to my mom about MJ in 3rd grade and her replying “He seems like a very talented dancer.”

My pal & Woot podcast guy Matthew eulogizes MJ quite nicely: bit.ly/mE2ls

Now creepy headline from 3 weeks ago: “Will Michael Jackson survive his concert marathon?” tr.im/pOg2

I took this as an excuse to finally watch Captain EO tr.im/pNRQ (via @boogah) Francis Ford Coppola? Really? Still, pretty awesome.
