Seven Hundred Seventy Seven

Seven Hundred and Seventy Seven, that is a pretty high number. A number Barry Bonds is still shooting for a symmetrical number. So what does it mean for today? A day I get back from vacation and hit up one more enjoyable day of work. It means that's how many posts have been made on the websites that I have within my google reader and have missed on the five days I have been gone.

Since Thursday Evening at 5 when I left work I haven't checked much of anything so this morning when I logged in I expected the number of posts to be high but 777 is pretty astronomical for the 17 blogs that I subscribe to. In the lead of course are the of Fanhouse (246) and Deadspin (125) followed by the Triumvirate of Who At All the Pies (57), With Leather (46) and The Big Lead (45). Followed by the rest. So what does this exactly mean? Well nothing other than I have a lot of catching up to do.

Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...
