¿Qué debo hacer si resulto herido o lastimado durante el juego?

The walk to work was pretty intersting this morning. First step out the door of my building almost saw me wipe out. Then, I realized, the most dangerous walkways were the ones that had been recently cleaned off and only had a thin layer of ice on them. So, as most of the Midwest and Northeast are covered in snow, most MLB teams are gearing up for Spring Training. I suppose the big stories and questions around Yankee camp are
(aka my seven things i think i think about this season):
1. Will Bernabé Figueroa Williams show up to camp without a major league contract and hope he can somehow make the team, even though all indications are that he's a lame duck?

2. Will A-Rod find his lucky pink panties and have another MVP type season, and Jacksonesque post-season, then skip town via his well timed out clause in his contract?

3. Will Jeter and A-Rod make nice and hug after each rendition of the YMCA?

4. Will Phillip Hughes pitch an inning before the All-Star break?

5. Will Giambi break down before or after the All-Star break?

6. Who will be the first pitcher to go on the DL, Moose, Pettite or Carla Pavano?

7. Will this be the year the Yanks survive the post-season and win championship #27?

I have a couple other questions myself.

1. How much will a beer cost this year at the stadium, 9$ ?

2. Will the B train ever get to the stadium again?

3. Will Matsui do that safety ad in Spanish again?


Came across this story today on iLounge. Apparently those wacky, Chinese have already got an iPhone knock-off on the way. I'm sure this won't be the last either. In fact, I don't understand how Microsoft hasn't jumped on the bandwagon as well, after the disaster that was the brown turd, sorry...uh.... the Zune, hasn't tried to steal Apple's thunder by introducing a similiar product before the iPhone is released in June.

Chinese electronics maker Meizu is the first company to closely copy the look and feel of Apple’s iPhone. The Meizu miniOne, due out in the fourth quarter of 2007, is a GSM phone with numerous iPhone similarities, including a curved, black and polished steel design, touch-screen interface, and a nearly identical on-screen software icon layout.

And thanks to M1k3 for pointing me to thislink, which shows off the new Transformer Toys.

Listening Pile;
Been loving this Cale Parks album lately. He's better known as the drummer for Chicago outfit, Aloha, who put out an impressive album last year as well, Some Echoes. Parks is also the occasional drummer for Joan of Arc and Cex.
The album, Illuminated Manuscript has an intimate but intricate bedroom ambient electronic sound where keyboards and mallet instruments mix with sparse vocals and a television or the occasional cat meowing in the background. Check it out, it's good stuff.


And if you don't have anyone to hug today, you can always do what this guy is doing.
Tree hugger! I know, today sucks for the most part, whether you're alone, or shelling out a ton of loot on dinner, flowers, and chocolates. But just think about it this way, at least you're not this kid.
