The Chinese lunch I had last week ended poorly. Food was great, and then I found a fly in the fried rice after I was nearly done with it. Flyed Rice I guess.

I use Scottrade. Pretty satisfied with it. Only complaint is that it doesn't show pre-market/afterhours pps, but I'm not sure the other big guys do either. Good thing for cnbc.com.

I read in the Tribune that Dunn was wearing an Ed Farmer jersey when he took his live BP. Any ideas on where I can acquire this? It's one of those things that I need to have, even though wearing someone else's name on my back is one of maybe two things I agree with the awful human being Larry Holmes on. Sarah Kustok is probably the other. I can make exceptions for Buehrle, Thomas, Konerko, Ozzie, and Ed Farmer.

Saw Eddie Vedder @ Chicago Theatre last night. He played a nice mix of songs from Pearl Jam/Into the Wild/Uke Songs. Pretty solid time, though I had to leave during the encore on account of catching a train/not being dead at work right now.

He'll accuse you of stealing his hat and go to great lengths to catch you.

Yeah, I disregard it when I see "hot" next to any dish on a Chinese menu.

I tend not to eat beet at Chinese restaurants, but Beef and Broccoli and Mongolian Beef tend to be the most popular. oo, I don't dig on swine. Tomato Pepper Beef sounds scrumtrilescent. What is it?

Help me choose my lunch. http://.com/Menu.html Notes: I don't like shrimp. I usually get Generals or Orange chicken, although today I'm kind of feeling wild and am heavily considering some sort of beef. What is typically a popular beef dish at a Chinese place?

Who?

Thanks, everyone.

Yeah, it seems like they may have made their run. Still, I didn't write them off when they were at their lowest point, and they have a whole hell of a lot of division games yet, so I'll hold off on that.

That was big of Bruney/Peavy to step up like that in a s***ty situation.

Wow, what a game.

I'm an Ozzie supporter. Avoiding Crain and Thornton completely in favor of Bruney and Santos in a non save situation (I *despise* the latter) is confounding.

Eddie Vedder's Ukulele Songs finally arrived at my doorstep today. If you enjoyed the Into the Wild soundtrack, get this.

Giants up 1-0 bottom of 8. Please hold on to this.

Sarah Kustok

Pure.

What a fun bottom of the 4th.

I found this. Went ahead and bit the bullet for $130 on stubhub. I think I read somehwere that the obstruction doesn't start until row 6.

Yeah, I just want to be sure that I'm not paying $100+ to look at a pole all night. FWIW Section 528 row 3 is what I'm looking at.

Kicking around the idea of going to Paul McCartney at Wrigley for one of the dates (7/31 or 8/1). Bad seats are going for nearly $100 and I'm not sure about that...

Isn't there something coming up in 11 days regarding service years and Viciedo being arb-eligible a year later? If so, that date (or shortly after) is when I'd expect to see Viciedo up here provided Pierre's troubles continue.
