Cleaning out the inbox


Time for some inbox cleaning.

First off,a big High Five to the lovely Cherie,who pulled me an autographed refractor of Giants top draft pick Zack Wheeler (373/500) from ONE pack of Bowman from Target!
Not only an against the odds pull from a non-hobby box,but the first ever autograph pull from a team I like-Thanks to Cherie!

Scott Bowden over at KFW has a terrific article up on the late "Mr.Perfect" Curt Hennig.
KFW is my favorite of nostalgia wrestling sites,mainly because of the content,but also because Bowden's sense of humor seems to be pretty close to mine as in things that we both find humorous.

Tony Lastoria's Cleveland Indians Prospect Book for 2010 is now available.
Tony covers the Tribe system like no one else and I highly recommend the book for the Wahoo fan.
I purchased the 09 book and will be grabbing the 2010 version soon,so if you are either an Indian fan or just a minor league junkie,it is well worth the cost.....

Crabzilla?
Well,that is what they are calling the Japanese Spider Crab,which grows up to 13 feet tall.
But the specimen that is about to be shown in the UK,is only five feet tall.
Why?
Because the depths that the crab lives at makes it highly unlikely to catch a fully grown model.
But there is always hope,as the crab can live to be 100 years old,so it isnt impossible....

Tiger Woods is going to talk tomorrow.
Big Deal.
I honestly could care less about what he has to say,unless it is when he is going to return to golf.
Woods' private life is something that I could care less about,but I do hope that he uses this chance to change his boorish behavior on the course.
Cursing (I know I curse even more than the next guy!), club throwing and the whole snarling act that he and his caddie do when the slightest thing doesn't go Eldrick's way cheapens the game.
Tom Watson's comments were dead on correct,you didn't see Watson,Jack Nicklaus or Arnold Palmer with these type of antics and Woods doesn't help himself or the game with his routine.
Here is hoping that he uses this time to straighten his professional game as well as his personal life.

Finally a nod to a friend of mine that passed on this site to me by author Laura Shumaker.
Shumaker deals with Autism on most of her site and I found it to be a fascinating read.
Highly recommended if you are interested in learning more about Autism.
