Looks like the White Sox have claimed the Al Central, beating the Twins 1-0 on a solo shot by Jim Thome. Jr. also threw a runner out at the plate to stop the tying run from scoring.

So...the only team NOT predicted to make the playoffs was the White Sox. Everything else was correct! Actual playoff schedules and predictions to come.

I am Hybrid.

The White Sox beat the Tigers in their last game of the season, a make-up game that was rained out, to force a one-game playoff in Chicago against the Twins. The winner will move on as AL East Champs.

In other news, the Feds shot down the bailout plan and but must continue trying to repair this flailing bank system.

I shipped out the iPod Touch and printer today, which I found sold when I woke up Sunday morning to watch the Chargers pull off a win against Oakland.

Still waiting on the replacement LCD screen to come in so I can get the Wing fixed, and I'll have to sell the new Sidekick LX for at least $400 to come out even from all the losses. Getting close though....

Brewers are in as the NL Wild Card. They beat the cubs 3-1 and the Mets lost to the Marlins 4-2 in the last game at Shea Stadium. NY chokes again!

It's all down to Chicago and Minnesota for the AL Central. As of now, Chicago has already beat Cleveland 5-1, so they are tied with Minnesota. The Twins are up on the Royals 6-0 in the 9th, so once they wrap that up, they'll move back to a half-game lead. Chicago then has to play their make-up game on Monday with Detroit. If they win, they move back to a tie and will host a one-game playoff against Minnesota to determine the AL Central.

I'm also watching the Chargers behind 15-0 against the Raiders. Oakland's defense looks good.

I went to get the Wing fixed and the cable was messed up inside, so they have to wait for that part to come in. I'm also waiting for the REAL touch screen to come from Fonlogix, who did not send me the right one.

I also got T-Mobile to sell me a Sidekick LX for $200, which is not bad. I have so much stuff to sell though now:

1x HP C4480 All-in-One Printer
1x iPod Touch 8 GB
1x Sidekick LX Blue

ALL Brand New!

Good convo. with Eli and the guys about politics, music, etc. Oh and Ruben showed up way drunk and poured more feelings out. Cool.

Looks like the Rays clinched the East tonight. Red Sox are the Wild Card team. The Mets are still a game behind the Phillies in the east and Milwaukee in the Wild Card. Minnesota is a half game up on Chicago.

I need to get my phone fixed tomorrow, no matter what. Busy day though. Meet with IDS 306 group in the morning, T-Mobile, and cell phone repair shop.

The Twins and Brewers both had walk-off wins. Minnesota is now a half game up on Chicago in the Central and Milwaukee remains tied with New York for first in the Wild Card.

I heard the new Killers single, ''Human''. Good. Seems like they're melding the Vegas disco sound of Hot Fuss with the dirty cowboy rock of Sam's Town. There was cover art for the single on Last.fm of a long haired human man, kinda trippy. I couldn't find a pic though.

Another band I'm really looking forward to hearing new stuff from, although it will never sound like it used to and it may take a while for it to grow on me. Hope it happens.

I forgot The Raconteurs are playing tonight at the SDSU Open Air Theater. I couldn't go, but I can hear them practicing!

Posted the iPod Touch and printer on both Amazon and Craigslist today. I low-priced the Amazon listings but got greedy on Craigslist. Within an hour, someone bought the iPod!

Still waiting/working for a new phone. The G1 was shown today and looks a little different than the previous picture:

The Chargers finally got win number 1, and it was big.

The G1 (or Dream) is being unveiled tomorrow in New York.

SD vs. Brett is underway! I gotta watch it here at school though... oh well. This is State, at least there's beer.

Just got home from Tucson. It was a great trip because it was short and sweet; the party was fun and it was great to see lots of family, which is kind of rare these days. 

About leave for the airport, going to Arizona for the grandparents' anniversary so I'll be back on Sunday. 

My new MacBook is arriving today, so I'm a 66.66% converted Apple user (I use one at work)... maybe a little more actually because of iPod II ;)
