MLB STANDINGS

Just an interesting little widget (at the bottom of the page) to keep anyone who might show up on my site informed and up-to-date on the MLB Standings. I wonder if I would have posted this if the LA Dodgers hadn't made such a miraculous comeback in the last three to four weeks? My first instincts about Manny Ramirez were wrong. I truly did not want him to be with the Dodgers. He has awakened the team from their funk and blasted them right to the top. That doesn't mean that he won't revert to his old Boston ways if things don't always go his way in the future. That is assuming the Dodgers sign him in the offseason. Wouldn't it be interesting to see the Dodgers v. Red Sox in the World Series? If the Dodgers get in the playoffs won't that be sweet for Joe Torre? The Yankees did not want him and they are toast this year. The Yankees chose the wrong Joe. Don Mattingly and Joe Torre in the playoffs while the Steinbrenners stew in their silent offices. How great is that? Go Dodgers!

Obama or McCain Vote.

Take a look at this:
http://www.sodahead.com/question/41731/

This is a very interesting site.  They posted an election for President of the United States of America if you were to vote right now.  The comments that are posted in regards to this vote are both eye opening and some are a bit disturbing.  The comment listed as "Top Comment" is a 'shopped picture of Obama in Al Quaida-type garb.  That is disturbing.  People find it so much easier to post something like this than to delve into the candidate's actual beliefs and hopes and dreams for this great country of ours.  The part that truly bothers me is that many will view this picture and make judgments based on falsehood.  

It is interesting to read the comments.  The Barack backers seem to quote facts, while the McCain supporters use vile and hate-filled comments to attack Obama.  They don't seem to like McCain as much as they despise Obama.

Google Chrome


What a great browser.  I heard about Google Chrome on the news on NPR  this morning.  It was leaked to the public yesterday.  I downloaded it as soon as I got home tonight.  I cannot believe how much quicker it is than Microsoft Explorer.  I haven't figured out how to import my bookmarks from Explorer yet.  I watched the little video and did what they said, but I don't see where it all imported.  Maybe I have to have Explorer running when I import.  Can you tell I'm not a computer genius?  I had most of my bookmarks on my Google toolbar.  I have to figure out how to get them on my homepage , also.  Geek. com has a good article on Google Chrome.  They had a question on the importing as well.
