Rev. JeffA,
Thank you for all that you do here at the WGOM. Your constant series on Birthdays and the various minor leagues throughout this hemisphere give us things to look at and discuss when things are slow, and things to get excited about when the major-league team. And you kee it up when we're distracted elsewhere.

I read through all 1900 of Jeff's comments to prepare for this week, and had a five-page (or so) document of my favorites that I offered up for banners. Some other quotes that didn't make it:

In honor of National Pastoral Care Week, we at the WGOM (and I mean all of us, since nearly everyone was in on this as long as we had their email address) would like to recognize the man who gives us endless amounts of content, recognizes each of us as well as our family members throughout the year, and has a calming effect on some of the surlier members of the site (ahem). Jeff, enjoy a week dedicated to your presence at the WGOM.

Respectfully,
Everyone Else.

Last night marked the first time in years that I was told I hadn't gotten a job I applied for. Holy crap, I'd forgotten how damaging that feeling is, even though it was stressed to me that I was the second choice and that they value the hell out of me. A few compliments aren't quite the 50% bump in pay I was hoping for, but at least I feel needed.

No more Yankees, no more idiotic Girardi-ARod drama. Well, the latter's probably going to go on forever, but at least they're out of the playoffs.

Keb Lub is out for 4-6 weeks? WHY?!

We're one game away from a great (nearly) yearly tradition: watching the Yankees get knocked out of the playoffs. I'd rather it was literally any other AL team doing it to them, but whatever.

My sweet little Sour Cream turns five today. The Milkmaid and I talk about having another one occasionally, but if we don't - and I think that's more likely - I will never feel like I have unfinished business. I adore these girls beyond words.

Only the Yankees would publicly complain about five straight home games in the playoffs.

Sorry, I can't think of anything else. Big Spookymilk Survivor elimination last night.
