Fucking Mets

Ok, who didn't see this coming? The Mets sucked for like three weeks and managed to drag it out for as long as possible but it was inevitable. We freaking suck! Jesus Christ, the fucking Devil Rays deserve the playoffs more than we do.

Hey Omar, we want a pitcher, not a belly itcher! Get us about 12 of them while you're at it. Heads better roll this offseason. Totally unacceptable.

We gotta get Milledge and Gomez some damn playing time. We actually won with them in the lineup over the summer. Send Shawn Green into retirement. Alou has been great when healthy but he's not the answer for more than maybe another two years so go get something of value for him. Trade Delgado for a bag of balls. Get Maine and Smith on a training program so they don't suck wind after the all star break. Have The Jacket spend the offseason with Pelfrey and Humber. And blow up the bullpen for god's sake. Mota, Schoeneweis - gone. Heilman - give him a chance in the rotation. Wagner - put him on HGH or something. Jesus, I never thought I'd see the day when I'd be pining for Royce 'Fuckin' Ring.

I've got the touch, I've got the power!

Yes, that's the song by Stan Bush from the old Transformers movie. Anyway, I got my iPod Touch a couple of Friday's ago. I actually left work at noon to get the Apple store when I found it they had it in stock.

I've been yearning for a new iPod for over a year and Apple finally delivered. This thing is freaking awesome. Luckily I don't have the crappy screen issue everyone keeps bitching about. The most surprising thing is that Safari looks great despite that relatively small screen. I'm checking WSJ, Woot and playing Bejeweled when I'm bored. I've also whipped up a page to get stock quotes with AJAX refreshes.

Speaking of stock quotes, I'm pretty pissed that Apple took that out of the Touch. Hopefully the hackers figure out a way to get the missing stuff back on there. Another annoyance is the headphone jack on the bottom. Not cool. The touch comes with a little iPod stand but then you can't plug your headphones in if you place the Touch on the stand vertically. That's just stupid.

Anyway, those are my main gripes. It's not perfect but it'll do.
