Tomkat- Splitsville?

Ok so I am one of the old school folks that still has my AOL email account from high school back when AOL was really the only game in town. Anyway I read this on the main page at aol.com today and the first thing that I thought of was this blog post that I wrote way back when combining two names into a single hybrid name was still fresh. It's a little creepy that I predicted, to the month, when Tom and Katie would break up but there you have it. Call me Timstrodamus.

In all seriousness divorce sucks. Don't do it.

Save Suri.

I need to vent


Andruw Jones is a steaming pile! I am a Dodger fan and have grown very accustomed to mediocrity but I shouldn't be giving up on the season only 9 games in. The team did nothing to address the fact that their offense is absolutely pathetic during the offseason except for bringing in a guy who couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat into an already crowded outfield. Juan Pierre was doing just fine being the overpaid underacheiving outfielder thank you very much. If you got pulled over for driving erratically and blew Andruw Jones batting average into the breathalizer the officer would apologize and send you on your way.

And don't think you are getting away with anything Russell Martin. Feel free to remind us you were once an All-Star. I am currently developing a conspiracy theory that involves you witnessing a murder during the offseason and the Russell Martin that is now playing catcher for the Dodgers is actually a dock worker from Long Beach with no family who wouldn't be missed and likes to strike out looking.

Combined these two dudes have 0 HR's and 3 RBI's which is 4 HR and 5 RBI's less than Torii Hunter, who the Dodgers should have spent all that money on during the offseason instead of wasting it on Pierre and Jones the last two offseasons. On the season the Dodgers have a team batting average of .230. If it weren't for Furcal and Loney it probably would be .125. This is absolutely ridiculous.

RANT OVER (but we all know it will be continued throughout the season)
