Gratuitous Good Wishes!
Grab a beer, put on a funny hat and get out the birfday cake, y’all, ‘cuz today is Mr. Krause’s 3rd annual 29th birthday!
That’s right… 29 years and 1095 days ago, my crotchety and oft curt colleague, Mr. Krause, came into the world wielding a Chet Lemon inscribed Louisville Slugger and a Kirk Gibson mustache (at least, that’s how the story goes).
And since Mr. Krause is always giving me a hard time for posting gratuitous pics of scantily clad beauties on a baseball-politico blog, I thought I would take some time to post gratuitous pictures that he would like:
And let us not forget… if it has reason behind it, it ain’t that gratuitous, which should give me a free pass to post pictures of hot chicks here for as long as I deem necessary.
I think.
Anyway, holla at Al. Tell him you love him (if you love him, that is). And make sure you dig on that gnarly photograph I recently snagged from his folks’ place.
Hate me. Don’t hate Al. Not today anyway.
Peace,
Jeff

Happy BD. Is that a Speed Racer checkered flag sweater you are wearing?

Jeff,
I bet is he heck-bent for Winsor by 5 pm with a fistful of georgies and looking for…birthday kisses.
You know you brought the party to a sudden halt with a photo of Ohio State cheerleaders. Guess our birthday boy will just have to Photoshop them in maize and blue.
I wish I was in the Motor City tonight, I would then boogie on down to the MGM Casino and put my chips on 29.
BTW, did you buy him “Mr. Baseball” on Blu-Ray yet?

Happy Birthday Al! I raise my wine glass to you – at least that’s this evening’s excuse for one of the glasses
Great job on the photos Jeff, especially Magnum. Best. Tigers fan. Ever.

How cute is that pic of Allen? Nice job stealing it from his parents’ house, Jeff, and Happy Birthday, Allen! May you be 29 forever.

He lies about his age? That’s a chick thing.

Happy belated birthday, Al. I hope you had a great day, and enjoyed a cold beer while watching ‘For Love Of The Game’.
