What more could you ask for than Jeff Samardzija Bobblehead Night?

Yes folks, I braved the 101 degrees while waiting patiently in line on the blacktop before the gates opened, to ensure my possession of a Bobblehead that will truly be cherished*. Forget the fact that my children disappeared into the Lil Hawks Inflatable slide play area and that I saw about 2 1/3 innings of action ( a bunch of runs, Hawks were up 9-5, consistent with any short season A minor league game). I have captured the missing link, the Jeff Samardzija Bobblehead . I am sure there is a website that wants people to send these highly valuable dolls but in this case, nothing would look finer on my Christmas Tree than a few #39's(oh yeah, I secured 4 Bobbleheads, but one will be broken with the next 24 hours once the kids get their grimy lil hands on it).

* cherished memories are always up for sale....$100 OBO for the damn Bobblehead, $50 just for the pure sweat unleashed during the wait of the freaking gates to open....

Statue Left Curse Update

http://www.idahostatesman.com/sports/story/124817.html

The link above follows up on a previous Statue Left Post that initiated the Statue Left Curse...

Not a bad article, however insider info describes the injured player
supposedly" tripping over a Playstation in the middle of the night", being the cause of this former first round pick being injured. Those damn kids and their PS2's.........

I happened to stop by the Boise Hawks game last night and witnessed this Curse up close. This former First Rounder, was down in the bullpen, just being one of the guys, and offering up completely goofy renditions of a scary pitcher. Contorting his ankles/feet, blowing out his cheeks and adjusting his gumby type ears in odd arrangements. A typical zany and crafty lefty, I suppose.....

That being said, the former First Rounder, with glasses, was a good sport and signed an autograph (possibly forced by management) before the beginning of the game near the front entrance. My son was stoked and what more could you asked for- unless the former First Rounder signed my very own PS2.

Standard coach speak.....nothing crazy, but thanks for the interview

Thoughts and Prayers to the Twin Cities

With the help of my former employer, I have traveled over the I35W in the Twin Cities area occasionally.....which brought back some happier thoughts.....

If you happen to stop by, sample a few Paul Molitor burgers and a glass of James Page....savory

Sidenote of the day: Joe Mauer used to hit flyballs 450 feet into this facade/front door during high school days, with the baseball field in the shadows of the Nook

The Bourne Ultimatum Trailer unseen footage

With Matt Damon visiting Boise yesterday for his part in the Premiere of his latest film, this trailer should perk the interest for the fans.......

The Next Bronco Tailgate Party Machine?

With a new paint job, it could be yours. The Ultimate Bronco Tailgate Machine is for sell...available at the corner of Hwy 55 and State Street. Imagine the Buffett Tailgate parties as well, especially with the wood spoke wheel ( second picture ) on the upper deck...where a number of Parrotheads could man the helm....
