Visit to South Park

It was very nice.

I was careful not to wear a red shirt, denoting Star Trek (TOS) token victim status.

Rays' road woes persist

The Tampa Bay Devil Rays continued their poor play on the road since the All-Star break, losing for the 14th time in 15 tries.
Saturday's loss to Oakland, by a 6-3 score, extended to five the number of losses on a winless road trip.

Jonny Gomes continues to struggle at the plate (.213) as does recently promoted B. J. Upton (.205).

How about a pic?

An Experiment

No kidding. I'm just typing filler in order to observe font appearances. On the main blog, I've been trying to distinguish one subject from another with different font styles and colors, but the overall effect de-unitizes the appearance of the blog, and my make the blog less attractive reading for browsers (of the human sort). Given the current flow of traffic (somewhat above zero), I don't want to chase away readers ... plus I want to continue working to improve the appearance for the sake of aesthetics. My thought currently is to inflate font sizes for all entries, but keep the ones of less news importance smaller than the rest. I'll probably try to settle on three colors for main entries.

Bucs Sign Jay Fiedler

Not exactly breaking news, but I have yet to offer an opinion on the pickup.

So far as I know, the available quarterback list is pretty short at the moment. Fiedler is a good pickup for the Buccaneers, particularly if Luke McCown isn't able to make a especially speedy recovery from his ACL injury.
I look for Gradkowski to serve on the practice squad this year unless he opens some eyes during the preseason. Gradkowski might end up being the best value pick in this draft (for the Bucs). The main thing that seems to have scared off other teams is his height (listed at 6'1" IIRC), but there are a number of very successful QBs close to that height. He's got a decent arm, great accuracy, and he timed just a wee bit slower than Vince Young at the combine. Plus he's got scads of leadership attitude.
Football rules.

Whassup ...

This is the experimental backup page for the blog Sublime Bloviations.

Hopefully I can figure out how to do one or two things here without causing the Internet to go offline.
