Barry Bonds

Quite frankly, I hate the guy. I wish he had never broke the all-time HR record (Please overtake the record A-Rod). But, even as much as I dislike the guy. I can't deny how great of a player he is. There have been rumors going around that he might become a D'Ray, although the chances are very slim. Personally I'm a huge fan of the Rays. They have lots of good young players and more on the way. I think they have a real chance to contend this year with the roster they have right now. Of course they won't win the division, but who knows, maybe they can make a run at the wild card.

Anyway, Shawn over at Squawking Baseball worked some numbers which really show how much the Rays would benefit from Bonds. If they replaced Jonny Gomes with Bonds they are the second best offense in the AL (using Dave Pinto’s Marcel team offense estimate).

Found this site

This site is fucking hilarious! I'm finding out things about white people that I didn't even know...and I'm white!

Bleach!


ZOMG! So, the new episode can out last night and WOW! Some shit went down! Ichigo was fighting Ulquiorra and supposedly got killed. WTF right? So, now Sado, Rukia and Ichigo are all supposedly dead. Renji was getting fucked up but Ishida came to his rescue right as the episode ended.

WTF is gonna happen?!?!?! I'm dying to find out. Can't wait until next week!

Comodo Firewall

So, I've tried many different firewalls and am never really satisfied with them. That was until I tried Comodo. It's a great firewall and has scored at or near the top on every firewall test I've seen. One downside to it is that it's pretty talkative. This could be a deterrent to non-advanced users. Also, version 3 now includes HIPS. Personally, I would rather have a seperate HIPS program. But, there is nothing wrong with the HIPS included with the firewall. I give it 5 stars! =)

BA Top 100 Prospects

So, Baseball America recently ranked the Top 100 prospects in baseball. It's looking pretty bleak for the Diamondbacks. Unfortunately, after the Haren trade our farm system is pretty barren.

We only had two players listed. Jarrod Parker at 46 and Max Scherzer at 66. I'm really excited about Parker. Scouts rave about his stuff and to be ranked at 46 after so little time in the minors is pretty amazing. We lucked out having him fall to us in the draft.

Still though, it's pretty exciting to have two pitchers in the top 100. We haven't had any high ranking pitching prospects in a while. Can't wait to see how they pan out!

Go D'Backs!!!!

Too good

Anime Expo 2008

http://www.anime-expo.org/

Seriosuly, I'm dying to go to this. If I'm not able to make it (chances of that happening are extremely slim) I think I'll probably freak out a little bit. Thankfully my b-day is coming up. So, I should be able to get enough cash money from that to finance the flight, hotel and all that jazz.

Check out the site though. It's got some great videos of last years con. The video interviewing people asking them to give advice to first timers is really interesting. A lot of good info in it.

If anyone reading (no one) is planning on going leave a comment. Maybe we can meet up!

Hilarious

This is a ridiculously funny article from one of my favorite sites Drunk Jays Fans.
