Something Squirrelly this Way Comes

Stay at home moms should really stay at home when they're kids are whiny and cranky and noisy. They should not be out shopping at lunchtime. They should definitely not be holding up the line because they're trying to get the cashier and other customers to coo at their baby. Yes we get that you think your baby is cute. That you think she/he/it is a sweet baby.

Face it honey. Your baby is so new it still resembles a pug or a shar pei puppy - all wrinkly. Very, very, very few babies are actually cute in that stage. Sadly, yours is not one of them. Nor do we feel your baby is sweet when he/she/it is wailing their little lungs out. Perhaps you should stop fishing for compliments, pay your bill and then see to your baby's need. I'm gonna guess that he/she/it needs a nap/drink/diaper change. Quite possibly all three.

This goes for all the other cranky kids that were in the store yesterday. Maybe I missed the special event welcoming moms with their whiny, cranky, obnoxious kids. Why would you have that at lunch time anyway? And why would moms bring their kids out for a marathon shopping event without food, drink and toys to distract them? Sheesh!

Glad we signed Cole. Really wish we had signed LaRose before the free agency began. Maybe we'll see what other teams offer Rosey and alter our offer and then he'll decide he'd rather stay in Raleigh.

Not really upset that Dennis is going (sorry bub). There are several other players I wouldn't be upset about seeing leave either. Unfortunately they're not on the market. Ah well...
