Game 7 Chat: Taxonomy
2008-04-06 12:31
In the spirit of looking away, I’m doing my taxes this afternoon. It irks me that I have to spend a full day of my life each year filling out all these forms, even though my taxes are pretty much the same every year. I’d gladly pay more taxes in exchange for all those days back. This is the computer age, doggone it. All that data should go electronically to the IRS, and it should fill out the forms for you, and all you should have to do is check a box and say, "yeah, that’s right." 10 seconds of your life every year, and that’s it. How much of our nation’s productivity is lost to this manual process that needn’t be manual?
Meanwhile, Joe Blanton gets his third start of the season, facing Cliff Lee.
1. Blanton doesn't look particularly sharp with his location today.
2. OK, time for Philip to get in his car.
3. I'm glad everyone had something better to do than chat about this game on a Sunday afternoon.
Another well-pitched game by Blanton, and another loss.
4. Got in the car after the tee-ball game and turned on the radio just in time to here Blanton walk in the go-ahead run.
My tee-ball team outhit the A's today. Though in Oakland's defense, nobody is called out in the tee-ball game.
