Thoughts from the Archangel

I feel so much better today.  I think I needed a little stress relief, and after taking out some frustration on the punching bag last night, I think I’m better.  Too bad my right hand hurts – I guess I need help wrapping it next time.

Anyway, things are still chaotic at work, but I’m a little island unto myself in the midst.  My work isn’t being screwed with yet, and until it does, I’ll just Modest Mouse it and “Float On”.

The Indianapolis Indians won last night, partially due to a grand slam by C Michel Hernandez in the second inning.  The bases were loaded and a thunderstorm rolled in, delaying the game for about two hours.  After the rain delay, Michel comes up to the bases-loaded situation and belts the 1-1 pitch over the wall.  Excellently done!  Super Hottie Matt Kata did not play last night.

I am tired of the Brett Favre soap opera.  He is doing all of this crap to himself and the fans.  First and foremost, I’m a Green Bay Packers fan.  I like Brett.  He’s a great quarterback with immense love for the game (which is probably why he can’t stay out of it), but this diva shit has got to stop.  Yahoo!Sports hottie sportswriter Michael Silver and I must be on the same wavelength, because this article about the whole deal is dead on with my thoughts.  I hope Aaron Rodgers just plain rawks this season.  Everyone should give him this chance.

Michigan football is at fall practice, and I’m ready for the Wolverine football action to start (for real, not just this fluff with committments, etc.).  With the hiring of Rich Rodriguez, things are a-changin’ in Ann Arbor, and that may not be a bad thing.  As stated on MGoBlog, you’d never see this with Lloyd Carr:

For today:

Good:  Better mood for me, sunshine outside.  Grand slams for the Indians.

Bad: I’m having trouble picking which 1B to put on my fantasy team.  More on that later.

Ugly:  Brett Favre fans that aren’t Green Bay fans.  There’s a difference in those people.

Funny: In the cube-farm disassembly here at work, the moving contractors “accidentally” unplugged someone’s refrigerator…yesterday.  Oops!  Now it’s leaking all over the floor.  I’m glad I don’t sit over there or was “allowed” to keep my lunchbox in it.
