Manny Ramírez became the 24th player in MLB history to reach 500 career home runs. He joins Red Sox greats Ted Williams and Jimmie Foxx. Today’s HR against the Orioles came 1 day after his 36th birthday.
Ramirez got every bit of an 82-mph, first-pitch offering from former teammate Chad Bradford and sent it soaring high and far into the Baltimore night. The 410-foot blast — a solo job to right-center — came with two outs in the top of the seventh inning, and it boosted Boston’s lead to 5-3.
The Ramirez watch had been on for some time. By clubbing six homers in the season’s first 19 games, Ramirez was at 496 on April 19.

It hasn’t been a good two days in the Boston area. Today at around 4pm, an apartment complex in Peabody, MA (the city where I currently work) went up in flames. The “luxury” apartments, Highlands at Dearborn, are still burning at this moment and firefighters will be working to put it out. Residents were sent to Salem State College
The evening commute home for cars going 95/128 North and South was backed up for miles and the smoke could be seen in parts of Boston (about 25 miles away). As I was driving home today after work, I was stuck in the traffic and when I looked over and saw the flames and the apartment burning, it looked awful.
One of my friends from work lived there and lost everything. Not only did she lose her apartment and all her possessions, she also lost her two cats who were trapped inside while she was at work. We are setting up a collection at work to help her.

At around 6:15pm, two trains on the Green Line collided in a very horrific accident killing the trains conductor. The trains
MBTA officials said an outbound commuter 2-car train stopped for a red light signal near Woodland Station and was hit from behind by a second outbound 2-car train. The operator of the second train was trapped inside and emergency crews worked for hours Wednesday night to pull her from the wreckage.
“The train was stopped at the time. I thought we were waiting for the track to clear ahead of us. The train was not moving. I remember because I was annoyed. I had a meeting to go to, and I was going to be late and then all of a sudden… Wham!” Brodeur said. “And everything broke loose. The chairs broke loose. I wound up on my butt about 4 seats forward. I lost my glasses, cap, briefcase… We walked to the front of our car… and then I noticed there was a fire to the right of the accident site. It looked like a brush fire ignited by the sparks from the accident. We all started walking along the tracks toward Woodland Station.” – Bob Brodeur, Passenger

This was banned TV Commercial that I found on PulseCity. It is a really funny video about Bill Clinton, while giving a speech, acting out whatever the voodoo doll does.

Why isn’t there a Hillary Clinton voodoo doll. You know, just so we can have the voodoo doll drop out of the race. Hint Hint!

The other day I had to have an MRI on my back, because it has been killing me for the past few months. I have only had one other MRI in my life and it was on my head, but this time was different. They brought me into the MRI room and started to back me into the machine. My head first, then shoulders and finally put my entire body into the machine. Since the last time I had one, it was on my head, they didn’t need to bring me all the way in. However, I realized how enclosed you really are in there, I couldn’t move my hands to even scratch my head.
The only way you should be afraid of getting an MRI is if you are claustrophobic, otherwise, it is just annoying. Even with music, the noise of the machine drowned out everything else. The test lasted for 30 minutes and each image took about 3-6 minutes.
My suggestion is to just close your eyes and try to think about anything else. If you think about the machine at all, you can start to panic and that can cause problems with the test. I am not saying that everyone is afraid of MRI’s, just making an observation.

Just a quick thought I had about how cool it would be to have the following scenario occur.
“The is a man who’s surname is Street and he named his son Oklahoma. Now, since the man lived in Oklahoma City, it only made sense that he lived on Oklahoma St. in that city.”
So you would have “Oklahoma Street living on 67 Oklahoma St in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. It would have a sweet mailing address
Oklahoma Street
67 Oklahoma St.
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73101
I called this category “Rants and Randomness” for a reason, and this is why.

Awesome explanation of how to make a girl feel uncomfortable. It’s a…what not to do. If you don’t laugh, you don’t have a sense of humor.
