1. A question about the bug-eyed Red Sox starter from last night who looks like a meth using Appalachian hillbilly: Is that Vaseline he has in his hair, and does he use it on the ball?

2. Anybody else have a wife who has the hots for the Red Sox manager? Even the straightest guy here would have to admit he's better looking than any of his players.

2. Uh no. He is an old dude. Only baseball related player my wife ever mentioned was Chris Davis and she said he only looks good when his hat is on. Your wife probably likes him because he is tall. Women love tall dudes.

I've always been partial to catchers, so I think the Nat's should hire Brad Ausmus.  He's studied under Bud Black, whom I also admire, and I think he's ready.

I think the Tigers have known about Skip's departure and will go with Gene Lamont.  Or they may give it to Larry Parrish, but as a former catcher, I like Lamont.

Pretty surprised that the Tigers went with Ausmus. He'll have a fairly short rope.

She says he looks like he should be on Mad Men.

He's only 51. That's about the same as you.

He is 16 years older than my wife. And he certainly doesn't look younger than his age. Are you surprised she wouldn't be attracted to him?

For the iPhone folks:

Google Play Music comes to iPhone One month free too.

I've used it since it's inception and absolutley love the mix of uploading stuff they don't have and simply adding what they have. It's been ideal, especially with the Chromecast.

So do you have the nexus 5? I can get a new phone on tmobile, thinking of 5. Saw one for the first time yesterday and in the hand at least it's pretty underwhelming compared to the 4 imo. Great screen though.

I did not, which is pretty shocking to most people who know me.

Once I put LTE and the Google Experience Launcher on my N4 with Kitkat, I'm so in love with this phone, that I opted to pass on the N5.

Kitkat has improved my battery life incredibly, and while the new camera has all the right specs, the software needs improvement, so until that's done, I'm going to stick with my N4.

I'm actually looking to try a Moto X for a little while, which might break my Nexus cycle.

interesting! Just installed Google Experience…I love nova launcher so I'll have to see if this trumps it. I don't mess with all that rooting stuff, I'll wait for kit kat, but lte would be nice.

off the bat Experience doesn't seem as customize-able as I'm used to, unless I'm missing something. After all it's only been about 5 min.

Google Play is free so I don't understand why you would need to get a month free of it.

Make certain you do GEL with the new version of Google Search for the best experience, but no, it is not as customizable as Nova Launcher. I'm in the fortunate position of having Google for work and personal email so the easiest use of Google Now is preferred for me.

Google Play Music is free yes. Anyone can upload 20K songs to their cloud for streaming.

Google Play Music All Access is not free. For $9.99 a month you are given access to (nearly) all of Google Music's Catalog, and you can combine that with your 20k uploads to supplement what's not in their catalog. I've had it since June for $7.99 and have had to purchase one album in that time out side of GPMAA - every other album I've wanted I've been able to add to my collection on release day.

Smackie thought he would get bored of the yoga pant as daily wear craze.

Turns out he has not. He still REALLY enjoys this trend.

Backed. I enjoy them as well.

My wife in her yoga pants is basically what gets me to the gym every morning at 6:30.

I have two pairs of Lululemon. The Studio Training and the Post Gravity. Both are perfect for lounging and walking the dog.
