Apparently

while I was at the lake this week, I missed seeing Frank Thomas hit number 500; and even more regrettably missed, in the same game, seeing AJ Burnett have a hissy fit and toss his glove into the stands. That's too bad -- it's moments like those that make being a sports fan worthwhile, even when your team is idling in a Traffic Jam of Tediousness on the Freeway of Mediocrity.

On the whole, however, I'd rather still be at the lake.
