On Monogamy and Dichotomy
I was reading, today, a tale of pirates. In addition to the normal pirating of tobacco, sugar cane and spices; the captain of the ship was searching for his lost daughter. After slaughtering the guards of an island prison to secure a fresh crew, the yo-ho-ho's set off on a fresh lead. To celebrate their one-sided victory over the jailers, the boys engage in some good old feasting and grogging. I say boys because each and every hand on deck pissed standing up. This got me to thinking about my own social situations and how I enjoy the company of women, especially when there is a tankard of mead or two involved.
Back in the days of the skull and crossbones the lives of men and women were indelibly separated. Interaction between men and women rarely took place lest behind closed doors or in some official capacity. Thus, if it was the soft touch or dulcet feminine tones that you desired, you, for lack of a better phrase, made one your own. If you desired more than to just insert tab A into slot B, you married. Thereby the interaction of the fairer sex was pretty much guaranteed until your nap took to dirt. While the mores were a bit looser back in the day, it was still in your own best interest to stay true to your lady so as not to upset the delicate balance of the dyad. You remained faithful. This was made a stretch simpler by how few women you might bump into on the outside.
In our modern world the situation is a bit more complex. As women have moved ever closer to social equality (here is not the venue to discuss how close) the lives of men and women have become inextricably intermingled. You run into into scores of women every day, most of them in a social context. You can enjoy their ample bosoms and unique sensibilities without clubbing one over the head and dragging her back to your batcave. Still the institution of marriage prevails (again, for now, let's not dissect why). In this day and age temptation runs rampant. The opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the female form in all of its glory is consistent, if not constant. Here's the inescapable conclusion that y'all have been awaiting -- as our lives become more desperately intertwined, the concept of monogamy has become antiquated.
Chicks are fun. In case half of the posts on this site have not made it abundantly clear, pretty girls are, without a doubt, my favorite thing in the world. To refrain from such grace due to the unqualified sensibilities of those who live their lives by the word "should" is a tragedy. We only get to do it once, kids. Let's get all of the juice from that peach. ;-j
P.s. I saw "Ultra Moist" cake mix at the store today. Yum.
Here's a pretty girl and good tune... Cheers

Clip Joint Caught A Niner

| Nick Weglarz |
Jason Kipnis (.304) continued his hot hitting, falling a triple short of the cycle and scoring three runs. Jason racked up the third three hit game of a current six game hitting streak in which he is 14-for-26 (.538) with a mind-boggling 1.740 OPS. Ezequiel Carrera (.291) added three hits and two RBI of his own.
Lonnie Chisenhall, mired in a 2-for-27 slump that has dropped his season average to .250, sat again and has not played since the 11th. The word on the street is that the Chiz Kid is getting some time off to clear his head. I mean that in both the literal and figurative senses. Lonnie cracked his noggin on third base last Friday and is also getting some mental health time.
SWB and the Columbus tee-off again tomorrow at 7:05p. Corey Kluber takes the ball.
Other Minor Points of Interest --
The rehabbers certainly came to play tonight for the Aeros. Travis Hafner (.500) singled, doubled and scored in four trips. Might he be back on the lake tomorrow? Nick Weglarz did him one better. No, wait, two. The outfield prospect jacked a three run homer in the 7th and followed with a solo shot in the 9th. Weglarz (.222) should be ready for AAA within the week.
On Wednesday, Jason Donald (.227) began his second AA rehab stint of the year with a 1-for-3 effort. The real story, though, was Joe Gardner. Joe (4-5, 3.81) shut out New Hampshire for 8 full innings allowing six hits and a walk, while fanning 3. Gardner is sort of tough to figure. Over his first 11 starts, he has allowed one earned run or less seven times. Sounds quality, right? Well, he has also failed to get out of the fifth inning in six of them and the 3rd in three. Over his past five, Joe has put up two brilliant eight inning efforts allowing a total of one run. In the other three outings he pitched a total of 11.2 innings and posted 10.80 ERA and a .421 OBA. Gardner will have to develop a great deal more consistency to move up to AAA... or head to the bullpen.
Another sterling performance from Drew Pomeranz tonight. That means seven innings of 1 run, 5 hit ball with a walk and 7 K's. Pom (2-2, 1.93) responded nicely after looking rather shaky (L, 5 IP, 5 R, 7 H) his last time out. No word on when he might get the call to Akron, but he does seem completely recovered from an earlier hamstring strain.
St Ed's grad Alex Lavisky made his last game (for the moment) as a Lake County Captain a memorable one. On Wednesday, Lavisky put together a three hit game, including a double, a homer, two runs and 2 RBI. He has been reassigned to Mahoning Valley, which opens its season tomorrow night.
Cheers.
