In conjunction with their new affiliation with the Kansas City Royals, the Single-A Lexington Legends unveiled new uniforms. Here’s their new road hat:
If New Era hats fit my head better, I’d probably be miffed that this thing was already sold out and searching for one in my size on eBay. But I find American Needle caps better suited for my massive melon.

I’d write more but I’m busy and there’s really nothing else to say. Maybe Brian Schottenheimer wasn’t so bad after all.
Well, most teams. But still:

I saw this last week and forgot to post it, but Rob V reminded me yesterday. In case you weren’t convinced by Bryce Harper’s thorough pwnage of Cole Hamels in the old-school baseball episode earlier this season, Harper’s general distaste for clown questions, his pioneering work in finding new and obnoxious ways to keep the sun’s glare out of his eyes, and the obscene force he can exert on a baseball, Harper tweeted his home’s treat selection on Halloween:

Full-sized candy bars! That’s a huge score for area trick-or-treaters, and well worth whatever aggravation they might have to put up with the other 364 days of the year for living near Bryce Harper. (Presumably he makes a racket in his home batting cage at all sorts of odd hours. And Hamels, hiding behind designer sunglasses and jamming out on Daughtry with his little white dog in his car parked down the block, really creeps the hell out of the neighbors.)
Oh, and how did Harper greet the eager locals? As a clown, bro:

Bryce Harper: Magnanimous, jocular, eschewer of pants.
Tom Brady took a break from his usual hobbies of bedding models atop piles of money and being frustratingly awesome at football to take in an Aerosmith concert in Boston on Monday afternoon with Patriots owner Robert Kraft, among others. Brady braved Boston’s November chill in a belted black peacoat with a half-popped collar and, alarmingly, no evidence of a shirt underneath:
It’s strange, but I’m not sure it even cracks the Top 10 most embarrassing photos of Tom Brady. Hell, for all we know, Brady was just paying tribute to Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry, who, as a point of fact, does not even own a shirt.
Also, because I found it while Google Imaging “Joe Perry shirtless” (I really hope my web activity here at the office is being screened by someone), here’s a photo of Joe Perry and Roger Clemens. Via Matador Records:
I’m trying to imagine how a conversation between Joe Perry and Roger Clemens might go, but I can’t get past two exchanges in my mind before they just start yelling, “No, I’m the worst!” and going back and forth like that ad infinitum.

I’ve spent enough time on the Internet today to say with some certainty that you’re not going to find anything more entertaining than this mesmerizing gallery of animated GIFs showing people in infomercials demonstrating whatever problem will be addressed by the product the infomercial is hawking. And who among us hasn’t spilled his giant bowl of cheese puffs while reaching for the remote control?

I actually didn’t realize it was Halloween until about 10 minutes ago. I celebrated at a party on Friday and continued my longstanding tradition of dressing up as notable mustache men. I have been Burt Reynolds, Magnum P.I., Colonel Sanders and Wilford Brimley in the past.
This year, without having done much to prepare as of Thursday, I took Adam Rotter’s suggestion and went as Ned Flanders. I had a green sweater, pink collared shirt, glasses and fake mustache already, so the whole costume cost me $2.50 for the yellow makeup.
The only thing I failed to consider is that Ned Flanders in real life would look absolutely terrifying. Okely-dokely AHHH!:
I got two votes for “scariest costume” at the party from people who didn’t know I was supposed to be Ned Flanders. They just wrote “yellow mustache pervert” or whatever.
Twitterer Tomm Bauer passed along another costume in a similar vein this morning.
