i’m sitting at a patio table outside at kasey’s, drinking snooty beer, using a powerbook with dork stickers all over it (after opening which i carefully wiped the dust from the display with a piece of genuine chamois i conscientiously keep on the keyboard when the laptop is closed to keep keyboard schmutz from getting on the display) wearing a black shirt, black shoes, dark jeans, and black trouser socks to complete the ensemble, smoking what i’ve termed to more than one homeless person bumming a smoke off me as “snooty” cigarettes.
naturally, i am also updating my blog, dialled in over my bluetooth cell phone. i am one of those mac users. sigh. (do i even need to mention that i cleaned up all the line breaks in the text file that i’m writing this in, even though i know that it won’t make a damned bit of difference once it’s parsed for html? … no, that just makes me obsessive-compulsive.)Cleveland Indians pitcher Kyle Denney shot in calf while riding on team bus.
The rest of the team was unharmed in the incident, which happened as the team rode to Kansas City International Airport late Wednesday night after a game with the Kansas City Royals. Swain said the shot was fired into the side of one of the Indians’ two buses while it was on a ramp between Interstate 435 and I-70, grazing outfielder Ryan Ludwick. “It went through his pants and then hit Denney,” [team spokesman Bart] Swain said. “At first, there was a little bit of panic. Once we realized Kyle was OK, fears were subsided.” Police spokesman Darin Snapp said there were no suspects and it wasn’t known if the team’s bus was the intended target. Telephone messages left for the Royals were not immediately returned.
i don’t know whether i hope you’re just a bush-league asshole who was shooting shit on the expressway regardless of what it was, or if you’re actually a pissed off royals fan, but you’re still a shithead. and the royals are still going to finish in the basement regardless of how many opposing players you shoot.
shithead. also, fuck minnesota, just for good measure. *sulk*
