(cue tom petty) The waaaaaiting is the hardest part...

i'm sick of waiting to hear about this fucking job. i'm even more sick of having to talk to the fucking recruiter dueschbag who gives me updates. its impossible for him to talk like a normal human being, all i get are long winded bullshits telling me he either hasn't talked to the people or they haven't made a decision yet. why can't he just tell me that right off the bat and avoid tryingto make up bullshit for 5 minutes in order to justify his usfulness. damn

if i actually get this job ( and from all accounts so far i have a good chance, its down to me and someone else) its another check in lifes reduculous collum. my initial inquery about the position included the words "i'm not applying for this job". i found the posting on monster.com and the description was very close to what i had just been doing for JFD and it was vague enough that i thought it might be the same job. located in the greater new haven area, family owned business, willing to work with someone out of college, and i know that JFD has been through a few people since i left so it wasn't outside the realm of possibilities that it could be it. so i write an email to the recruiter asking if there was an outside chance it was a job posting for JFD and i attached my resume to the email. i did it as kind of a joke and actually made a casual joke to my sister as i hit send. the next day i got a call from the recruiter telling me it was not JFD and i was actually very qualified for the postion. then the wheels started turning and now here i sit, waiting for a phone call like a stood up prom date.

once again i'm not talking baseball. the yankees suck and there is no excuse, torre has one week before i start calling for his head on a stick. he's horribly mismanaged the pitching staff and his daily lineup shifts are getting stupid. i'm amazed the stien has let it go on this long. only only ray of hope right now is that we're coming home to play pittsburg, the struggeling cubs, tampa, the mets and then baltimore who we'll need to sweep to have any chance. a few easy games leading up to an important series. of coursse thats what we just had coming off of KC, minn, milwaukee and then StL. and as bad as the yank have played they're only 6 games back. not unachieveable yet.

the rest of the baseball world is doing al right. the NL east is fucking cool to follow. its so even right now. the fish are going to shake out on top but it won't be easy or by alot. with the cubs injuries and hte reds pitching woes, the cards are going to run away with the central. the west just sucks, i could care less who comes out of that one. bonds, or no bonds. the AL west is better with the rangers hitting well enought to make up for thier serviceable pitching. the A's are struggeling because of growing pains and injuries. right now, the only thing covering up the redsox troubles is the yanks even bigger failure.

chump, i hear you on the waiting thing. i'm doin the same for the schools. i've hit numerous snags too, shit they dont tell you about until its already fucked up. good luck on the job, i know they called my dad for a reference.

i'm not sure it's entirely torre's fault, though i will concede these daily lineup changes are ridiculous. while the best on paper, the players are horribly underachieving. the pitching sucks, and all of a sudden they cant field. changing the lineup is more a psychological thing, so i think it's ok, but not everyday.

and the sox trouble isnt that bad. they just need schilling back, and some middle relief. foulke will hopefully come back around. embree sucks. he is the worst reliever i've ever seen. he rivals rheal cormier for suckiness. get him out of boston, now.

yeah i use your dad, mr. brancifort and my dads friend Tom as references. they asked for people i'd worked with and someone else who was a family friend. i hope it was all positive.

so i'm watching espn news adn they interupt thier coverage to say that tony womack will now be shareing time ith Bernie in CF. what the fuck?!? womack should be riding the bench, not getting promoted to CF. fucking yanks.

You bumbling Ken Harvey's couldn't be more wrong about the yanks. You complaining about Womack sharing time with Bernie Williams? This ain't your daddy's Bernie Williams anymore. He has 15 runs and 19 RBI as the regular CF, perhaps the poorest statistics of any everyday CF. At least Womack has one serviceable attribute (speed). This is what the evil empire gets for selling their souls to the devil ten years ago. Good move signing a 42 year old pitcher instead of Carlos Beltran anyway----jOE tABLE
