Okay baseball nerds

And for those who like odd stuff:

http://mlbcontracts.blogspot.com/

Go on the left and you can look at the details of all players of all teams in major league baseball. For example: Troy Glaus has a perk in his contract that give him a
1. suite on road
2.$0.25M annually for personal business expenses (wife's equestrian training)

HAHA. A $250,000 horse-riding trainer. I paid ZERO and know how to ride a horse.

Arod? He gets a $30M marketing agreement based on home run milestones ($6M each for reaching 660, 714, 755 and tying and breaking major league HR record)

Not bad, not bad at all.

Daisuke Matsuzaka (Japanese pitcher for the Red Stockings)
perks: physical therapist, massage therapist, interpreter, 8 first-class round-trip airline tickets per year between Boston & Japan, spring training housing allowance of up to $25,000, Boston housing allowance of up to $75,000, one-time moving allowance of up to $35,000, use of Lincoln Town Car or similar car, Red Sox player ticket package, including 2 field box seats, team employee to assist Japanese media, uniform No. 18


I'm at work right now so I can't delve fully into all of the details. Let me know what other oddities you find.

I change my mind

A few weeks ago a few of us had a discussion on what's the worse sport to watch between softball and soccer. I said I would rather watch softball, mainly because the soccer game that we had tried to watch was like watching a one-armed blind man trying to drive a stick shift.

HOWEVER...

After watching/watching the gamecast of the past few games, I have had a change of heart. International tournaments are solid entertainment. Don't believe me? Watch the last 20 minutes of the Turkey - Czech Republic game. It was some wild stuff.

Push the doors of science

This is why they shouldn't allow the people at the homeless shelter in Lawrence to use the internet unsupervised.

Wanted: questionable doctors with cloning equipment

Looking to clone myself, possibly twice if we can make them the same age as me. In return, one clone for slave labor (Pays off in overtime fees anyway), and more then likely miles of protesters. Let's push the doors of science forward together.

(And no, I did not post this.)

Two months

I think my last day of work will be August 9th, meaning today is exactly two months away from what should be a happy day.

I found out that I will be received a little scholarship from KU. Not bad, not bad.

Some people's blogs are being updated less and less. I blame the price of gas. Or maybe they are just busy. Or lazy. But probably busy. And lazy.

That's all.
