Jumping Ship

Hey everybody!  I know it's been a while since I've posted anything on here.

Well, I'm jumping ship.  I'm relocating the blog to Wordpress, and you can find it at:
http://pastorswish.wordpress.com

You'll also be able to find Bases Loaded Balk on Wordpress as well:
http://basesloadedbalk.wordpress.com

The primary reason for the change is that I'm thinking about upgrading so that I have my own domain name without the .wordpress, or .blogspot adding to the address.  Simply put, I can't do that on Blogger.

We'll see how the move goes, but for now, I want to encourage you to make the changes in the necessary places.

Peace!

Cub Fan Follow Up on UCONN Booster Demands

After a UCONN booster demanded his $3 million donation be returned because he wasn't consulted on the hiring of the football team's new head coach, thousand of Cub fans have requested their money back because of the hiring of Mike Quade as the new manager of the team.

Judging by this picture:
Quade doesn't give a rip because he is going to the bank with his big ol' paycheck.  In fact, he is quoted as saying, "I'm cashing in on this baby.  I'm even going to wear my uniform all over town just to rub it in!"

Blyleven, Alomar Given HOF Nod

Bert Blyleven and Roberto Alomar received an important phone call today - a call congratulating them on their induction to the Hall of Fame.  Blyleven received the honor after a mere 14 years on the ballot, while Alomar was elected on his second go-around.

As we all know from a previous post, Blyleven is awesome, and the picture below merely sums up that statement.

Meanwhile, Alomar's awesomeness is not only summed up by his ability to hover...

...but also for his restraint, as he only spit on an umpire once in his career.  And we can't really blame him for that.  Mentally, he just wasn't in a good place at the time... well, physically, he wasn't either, as you can see the Baltimore Orioles jersey in the picture.

Strangely enough, Alomar received 90% of the votes cast after falling just 8 votes shy in 2010.  I'm not exactly sure what he did to cement his legacy and give him the third-highest vote total in history in the last 12 months, but whatever it was Jeff Bagwell, Larry Walker, Mark McGwire, Lee Smith and others are going to be calling him to figure out what it was.
