i can't remember with whom i had the conversation about ugly baseball players, but i'm pretty sure that randy johnson came up -- 'specially randy johnson in the early, mulleted, big-mustached years. well, i'm sorry i ever maligned randy, because he threw a perfect game last night.

this does not, of course, change my contention that pitcher is the ugliest position, while shortstop is the most attractive. think about it: arod, derek jeter, nomar, vs., say, randy johnson, kerry wood, hideo nomo? no contest.

that's right, folks, another productive day at the office. and later i'm going to put my foot aaaaaalll the way up my insurance company's large, collective ass.
