I figured it was you or Gallagher.

But maybe a player wrote it.

so that means it’s true. i wonder what player it could be? Does Polak like having his own special section? Does Brad Boyes love being called NAMBLA? Does Osh just love being loved? We need to get someone inside to ask some players about this.

How do you lose your kid IN BED?

That’s like looking around for an hour to find your car keys and then realizing that you left them in your purse. Talk about a facepalm moment.

What Falconer wrote is really true for non-traditional market teams. We’re really spoiled by having the P-D and the BND, despite what we might say about some of the coverage. They’re damned good. The Thrashers’ coverage is beneath High School Football and the freaking Peachtree Road Race on the AJC’s site. The AJC blog guy is cool, but the man in charge of doing stories is actually the AJC’s sports editor. Falconer’s site and a few of the other Thrashers blogs, along with the BBS, is where I get my news – as well as our web guy, Ben, who is just amazing with Twittering things before anyone even picks the news up.

Small market teams have it rough. I had dinner with Falconer week before last and he mentioned that he asked the press guy in Nashville if he could have pressbox rights for a Thrashers’ road game, and he got it. He was up there with a kid from a local high school newspaper. He said that if I asked, even as a fan of the visiting team, I could get up there probably for GT or my blog. Part of that is really cool. And part of that is extremely sad.

The press boxes in places like Philips are huge. And, unless a Canadian or a big market US team comes to town, they’re deserted. I’d hate to see what Phoenix’s looks like, or Florida’s, or Tampa Bay’s.

Step 1: Steal underwear
Step 2: ?
Step 3: Profit!

Has anyone read Wysh’s book? It looks like that’ll be my next literary purchase. I sure hope “Mike Keenan” makes the list somewhere.

No guarantee that the SanMan will be backing up Price in Hab-ville . . .

being that it’s a two-way deal, and I think they have a backup already.

As I said, he’ll be the backup. Hardy-har-har!

Regarding the monkeys stealing underwear….

My mom used to hang out our laundry outside to dry, and one day she went out to gather it and all of our underwear was gone. My mom was like “wtf?” and we looked all over the yard for it. So eventually we looked up and the bras and underwear were hanging from the trees!

So she stopped hanging our stuff outside after that.
