It’s been roughly nine weeks since the last Ironpig homegame. Not too much going on.
Yes, I’ll take the hit for messing up the Kerry Wood info in the last post. My transaction source listed it as new and current and I didn’t bother to research further on that. I usually don’t spend too much time thinking about the Yankees {Spit}
So since the end of the season we’ve had the World Series viewing party… too bad it was the Giants and Rangers. I still have a gut feeling there was some sort of fix in for the Giants. Yes, they have a good team, but the Rangers folded way too easily and Cliff Lee (feel free to comment on this) usually doesn’t have two terrible starts in a row. At least the Yankees {Spit} didn’t win again.
I’ve only filled my car with gas once since the season ended. There is a good reason for this and that reason is Netflix. Anyone who has Netflix can tell you the online option is very addictive. I was able to set it up to show movies on demand directly to my TV. Not an advertisement or plug, just saying that for like $9 I have been keeping myself from watching the clock spin until April.
Also, haven’t shaved the beard I started on the last day of the season. Getting a little long these days. Wondering if I’ll keep it until the first game. Maybe I’ll shave if the Pigs break the .500 barrier. Although if I did that I might end up looking like a member of ZZ Top by mid season.
Also want to mention that tomorrow is the 235th birthday of my beloved Marine Corps. Happy Birthday to all my brothers and sisters out there.
So that’s where I am right now. How are you all coping with the off season?

Of course the fix was in for the Giants.
But my brother will not discuss it. He feels it would be better to just let his life-long Californian wife just enjoy the victory by her beloved Giants. Keeps him off the dreaded couch, you know.
As you know, Mr. Kehl, my brother is in good with the Baseball Gods, who respect the fact my brother is one of the few on the planet who understand that the Baseball World rotates on an IronPigs Axis.
I am thinking this is a payoff for the sprinkler “fiasco” at PNC Field two seasons ago but Big Bro remains tight-lipped.
You’ll trip over them whiskers if’n they get too long, sarge. 🙂
I’m not quite Mr All-Sports, but even in the cold season you’ll find me watching something on a field or floor or rink more often than other entertainments. What I’d like to know, tho, is how much sporting content SECTV has on video-on-demand (they can’t / won’t implement it in the territories they inherited when they swallowed Sammons)
Being a loyal Directv subscriber I don’t know much about the SECTV lineup. Anyone out there know?
