Never played for the Expos. Jamais.

I'm removing the "Douche" comment because my dear friend John Peterson has commended me with a fair "Well played" comment. And my first goal has been completed.

I am not obsessed with Blastings Thrilledge. I am also not an idiot. I'm a pretty smart dude and I really wanted to stake claim on Tacoby Bellsbury as a name and I got it. I may have disappointed the sports blog community by not being more pro-active on this blog and for that I can understand. To be honest, I'm not really a "sports blog" kind of guy.

I did create a blog to express my boredom during work with an old co-worker of mine, we engaged in a debate over who would win in a battle, a ninja or a pirate. Unable to reach a verdict and somewhat disturbed at where we were at (I was an operations specialist, not Mike Lowell's replacement waiting in the wings), we created http://200percentawesome.blogspot.com/

I will continue to write on this blog periodically. It may not be a fan page, or a gripe page, or even a baseball page in general. We do live in a pretty self-absorbed society and I might just make the damn thing about myself. I like the sports theme though, I even like the puke green background***. It's abrasive. Kinda like me. Look beyond the vomit colored lining, however, and you will see more. Perhaps, a lot more. Okay, I'm bullshitting myself now. Back to the subject.

Kenny Lofton won the Korbel driving range contest at the recent celebrity golf thing. Cheers!

*** I have replaced the puke green background with Taco Bell colors, this is an experiment, your feedback is somewhat appreciated ***

Rave Reviews!

I cannot believe it. People are reading Tacoby Bellsbury. Sure it's no Sons of Sam Horn or Blastings Thrilledge (it's a blog about poker and I think the NY Mets, who I am watching on TV tonight), but my friends we are in business. Here are some of the reviews I received.

Abe: "Yeah! I wanna read it...I wanna check it out!

Fernando Tatis: "Bueno!'

Sam: "Very good" (paraphrased)

Random guy #1: "I don't know what that is"

Random guy #2: Don't you mean JACOBY Bellsbury?

So anyways, I'm going to write a quick thing about my favorite baseball team besides the Sox, the Montreal Expos. Pedro. Andre Dawson. Gary Carter. Larry Walker. Vladimir Guerrero. Lee Stevens. Wait, not that last one. Fernando Tatis. I was reading my favorite poker and baseball blog, Blastings Thrilledge and he has the most dominant picture of Tatis on there. That man was ridiculous. He has the skills to hit .300 plus knock 20 and steal, say, 12. And for a team that crappy you really need to take what you can get.

The Mets are the graveyard team: Tatis, Easley, Julio Franco, Tom Glavine, I could go on. They just stack it up with has beens and never will bes, I can't wait until Kenny Lofton signs on with them for the playoffs. Oh yeah. You don't think Minaya will shell the $3 mil or whatever he wants to be the speed man off the bench? I like Endy Chavez. I like Ryan Go to Church. I hate Carlos Delgado. That's about all I can say about the Mets right now. They will sign Kenny Lofton, Wilfredo Cordero and maybe even Dante Bichette before October. Sorry, September.

In other news, congrats to all the Boston Red Sox that made the All-Star game, we hold these truths to be self evident:
-The Boston Red Sox are the greatest sports team in history
-John Perkinson is a tool (James Patterson? Jack Pendleton?) This guy.
