Are you F'n kidding me?

Seriously?

THIS is what all those braided necklaces the MLB players are wearing are?

Good grief! I thought they were for some charity like the NFL's pink shoes.

Wait, the pink shoes are for breast cancer awareness and not because their pink spectral wavelengths resonate in opposition to the green harmonics of the field causing players to run faster and jump higher right?

Wow, Moonie. I didn't know that. I also thought it was a charity or at least a tribute.

I just thought it was a fad.

Guess I was right. A really stupid fad. Lani mentioned you could buy them on MLB.com (though I don't know how they're described) for something like $60.

Yes, you're right, it was exciting to watch a post-season where great pitching, solid defense and just enough timely hitting ground down supposedly more explosive teams.

Three cheers for our merry band of poets and collectivist bakery owners!

Went to part of the parade just because it was only two blocks away. Lots of excitement and really miss working for Wells where I'd have been able to watch it from my cube (with an openable window even).

Had a noon meeting I couldn't miss so I got to see the Front Office staff go by but had to leave before any players were seen.

Was it sponsored by Just For Men?

[Alex]

No (I'm sure that's a joke I'm not getting). But it did seem to be sponsored by UPS (their delivery trucks were pulling all the floats).

I saw a picture of Jared Padalecki in a baseball cap.
