JC Romero is getting absolutely screwed by Major League Baseball. I mean, screwed like few athletes have ever been. After taking a supplement he got over the counter from Vitamin Shoppe, he tested positive for steroids, though even MLB acknowledges that he didn’t use them. But with a reactionary zeal that make the Salem Witch Trials look fair and balanced, MLB has decided to suspend him for 50 days. Baseball offered him the opportunity to only serve 25 games if he admitted guilt, but he didn’t because he didnt’ do anything wrong. Way to go baseball. Way to teach kids that if they don’t cow down to authority their punishment will be doubled, even if they don’t do anything wrong. This is so unbelievablty stupid it defies belief. Could you imagine how great baseball would be if it were run by people with an IQ over 30? If you’re interested, you can call the commissioner’s office at 212 931-7800.

Back to Reality
The egg nog has all been drunk (drank?) and the tree has been put back in the attic. It’s on to the gym, and time to break out the juicer. It’s back to reality, and the reality of 2009 isn’t all that bad. We’ve got a lot getting ready to go down. I am looking at a venue today for Quizzo Bowl V, and am very hopeful we’re going to have a deal in place this week. I’m looking at February 21st as a possible date. I have to determine if that gives me enough time to make this a go. Also, we have Super Bowling going down on January 24th, a big bowling blowout bash going down in South Philly. More details forthcoming. I will also begin working on 2008 the year in review. Yeah, I know I shoulda done that a week ago. Whatever. Anyways, in the meantime here’s 2007 in review.
Resolutions
Made a few resolutions for 2009:
- Become a master of the Juiceman Juicer (got one for Christmas and made my first OJ this morning. Delicious…and nutricious.)
- Read 8 Weeks to Optimum Health and follow it’s suggestions.
- Record three more songs so I can release an EP. (I did a new song over Christmas break and it is hot. I’ll release it as soon as the girl with the great voice lays down her vocals in the chorus.)
- Solve more mysteries.
- Quit Sweating the small stuff.
- Get my finances in order.
- Want to restart the Classic Movie Project.
Ok, there you have it. What are your Resolutions?
