• Friday’s Saints game was a pretty good game. They got a win, and the game went pretty smoothly. In last night’s game, the Saints got way behind (they were eleven runs back when they came to bat in the seventh), but then rallied to the point that the go-ahead run was at the plate. Of course that’s where the game ended, but they’d managed to score 7 runs in the 9th, which is a lot more fire from the team than I’ve seen since they clinched the first half of the season. While it wasn’t fun to see them lose, I think this is one of the better games offensively (at least in the bottom of the ninth), and hopefully they’ll keep this sort of fire alive and start winning a few more.
  I also got to spend Friday night’s game talking to a gal-friend I haven’t seen much of for about ten years, and then last night, I was accompanied to the game by three swell gals. Dang! And nobody called them my harem until after they’d left.
• In other Saints news, Chris Begg is now 3-1 with a buck-thirty-six ERA out in San Jose, and ex-Saint Kevin Millar makes Fenway history, hitting the ten-thousandth regular-season homer out of Fenway Park. It took ninety-one years of play in Fenway to reach that mark. Kevin was with the Saints in 1993. He’s one of five Saints alumni who’ve made it to the show.
• Hey, it says here that RFID Will Stop Terrorists, unless of course, they’re wearing their pyramid-shaped tinfoil hats.
• Steve Moldy Ramone Moldenhauer–a local punk man about town. One time singer in The Strappin’ Daddy O’s and other bands died on sunday July 27th–losing his third battle with Cancer. The memorial was yesterday afternoon.
  There’s a discussion forum about Moldy–hosted by the Independent Music Foundation Forum.
  Steve was also the first year champion of punk rock karaoke and truly a nice guy. [jim]
