for the record

Yoshi and I have spoken little during the off season. Aside from a picture of a waffle he posted on Facebook yesterday which inspired a few comments, Yoshi has been silent. Bears hibernate. Maybe Yoshis do too. Or maybe Yoshi chooses to remain silent because there's nothing interesting to talk about.

Off season trades are done. Post season awards are done. Spring training starts in a month and all of baseball is focusing on one thing: vacation. But baseball writers have to justify their salaries so they kick out c-r-a-p stories like this (I recommend not clicking on the link because it's so boring): http://www.boston.com/sports/columnists/massarotti/2011/01/this_offseason_red_sox_owned_u.htmlhave . And that is what you'll never get at "Greg and Yoshi" -- meaningless drivel. You just won't see it here.

Here's some other stuff you won't see:

1. A video I made (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRcAul7hMHo) of my Mom's kitty playing in a basket. Just won't see it. Not here. No matter how touching it is. This is Greg and Yoshi talk about the Red Sox not Greg and Yoshi Show Sweet Videos of Kitties Playing in Baskets.

2. Pictures of waffles. What Yoshi wants to do in his free time is his biz. Pictures of breakfast items are rad. No doubt. But I'm pretty sure this isn't called Greg and Yoshi talk about Pictures of Breakfast Items. So no. Not here.

3. Me talking about my girlfriend's blog: apresfete.blogspot.com. Sure, it's great. Blah, blah, blah... She's a really good cook and her catering business/private chef service is something you would have to be brain dead not inquire about if you live in the greater Los Angeles area. But this isn't called Greg and Yoshi Promote Greg's Girlfriend. So no. Not here.

4. Technology. 'Nuff said. We just won't talk about it. I mean, what were we talking about? I can't remember, but definitely not technology.

5. The upcoming ski trip I'm going on with my brother, Cary. Yesterday we talked about Cary because it (I mean "it" in the nicest possible way) related to a story about Adrian Gonzalez. But unless Yoshi is going ride the chair lift with Cary and I and talk about the Red Sox, then no, you won't hear about our ski trip to Utah where we are going to rip figure eights in knee-high fresh pow pow. And even if Yoshi does show-up and ride the lift with us, we still won't include that conversation on this blog because I'm pretty sure it's not called Greg and Yoshi and Cary Ride the Chair Lift and Talk about the Red Sox. Though, I agree, not a bad idea for a spin-off.

6. Long blogs. Just won't happen. Out of respect. Spoiler Alert! There will be a blog this season that is only one word long. And it'll be awesome.

Tell your friends,

Greg & Yoshi

(and again, for the record, Yoshi contributed nothing to this post. nothing. zero. the opposite of everything.)
