mid-season update, I am like ESPN and a farmer

Tuesday, August 14th, 2007

Hey have you guys noticed that the Yankees are only four games back? No? No one cares?

Whatever.

Eric Gagne used to be awesome, so what’s the problem? Do you think someone hurt his feelings? Maybe he has a rash underneath his clothes? Maybe he got in a fight with his friend? He has a 15.75 ERA in his time with the Red Sox. What’s happening!?

Guys? What do you think?

Hello? Is anyone still there?

Who likes tea parties?

It would be easier to pretend I was still invested in baseball if I had cable.

Also, the mangosteen is finally available in America. The delicious “Queen of Fruits” that I’ve been reading about for the past five or six years that has long been banned because of a little bug that lives in its rind is now being imported from Puerto Rico in small amounts. The only problem is that the mangosteens are only being sold in Coney Island, on E. 79th St., and in Southampton–for about $45-$60/lb., which translates to about $10+/mangosteen. I would pay any price (under $30) for a single mangosteen if they were closer to me.

And that’s all I have. That’s all I thought about the past five days.

Sorry.
