Welcome Back!

Man, you leave for a week and oh how the sports world has changed!  Just kidding, everything is pretty much the same. So let’s get into it, shall we? 1.) The Phillies re-signed Cole Hamels while I was away, which I would be ok with if they didn’t already have 100,000,000,000 dollars tied up in their other two pitchers (one of whom has exactly one win all season).  So all I will say is if they don’t trade Cliff Lee today, than signing Hamels was a stupid move. Amaro should’ve learned that it doesn’t pay to overspend on pitching…

Painting & Pinot, Olympic Preview

I went to a free painting class last week with my fiancé, La Louve, at a place called Painting and Pinot – and not surprisingly I was one of only two dudes in the entire 30 person class. There are of course a few benefits to being a guy at one of these events, the first being that all of the women are deathly afraid to be the first to dig into the sweet treats, and the second being that you can pretty much just throw paint at the canvass and everyone will still say it’s great. Of course,…

The Dark Knight Rises

1.) I can’t remember being this conflicted about whether or not to see a movie. The Dark Knight Rises is going to be awesome. We all know this. Christopher Nolan is not capable of making a bad movie, I don’t think. The problem, however, is that this sucker is 2 hours and 45 minutes long. Holy goodness that is a long time to sit in a theatre. Factoring in the previews will likely add another 15-20 minutes, so your looking at a 3 hour sitting. Too long I say. Also, Bane has been getting great reviews, but in all…

Tim Kurkjian has Never Heard a Dr. Evil Impression

So last night, after a nice weekend at the beach, I get home and turn on some ESPN to get caught up on what happened in the world of sports when I was away. Much to my delight/chagrin, ESPN was running a clip of Tim Kurkjian where he interviewed Cubs pitcher Ryan Dempster and asked him to do some impressions and man oh man was it high comedy.  Just kidding. It was actually incredibly confusing/perplexing. The reason? Dempster busted out impressions of Dr. Evil, Fat Bastard and Harry Caray. Now, I get the Harry Caray one, since he plays…

Joe Paterno is a Piece of Trash

By now, there should be little doubt that Joe Paterno interfered with an investigation targeting his good friend and co-worker Jerry Sandusky, who was recently found guilty of child molestation. If you have been living under a rock, independent reports have now pretty much confirmed and provided evidence showing that Joe Paterno dismissed blatant evidence that Sandusky was guilty of this and corroborated with officials at the school to cover it up. Nothing new, really. There is something very prolific about how this entire story unfolded, however. Culminating at the end of his life, Paterno faced the heavy burden…

The Moon Rises, the Phillies Season Sets

1.) I finally got to see Wes Anderson’s new film “Moonrise Kingdom” yesterday and let me just say that it was well worth the wait. That movie was incredible, 4 stars 4 sure. But then again, I love practically all (I’m looking at you Darjeeling Limited) of Wes Anderson’s movies so maybe I’m not the best person to go to for an unbiased opinion. It’s too early to say that it’s definitely his best movie, but I think that it’s in the conversation. Royal Tenenbaums still probably holds the crown though in my opinion (it’s hard to beat lines…

All-Star Weekend Yippiee!!!!

It’s summer time folks. Officially. There’s something very pleasant about the MLB All-Star Weekend. It usually means I’ve been to the beach several times already and my body is so sun-burnt that wearing T-shirts have become nearly impossible. There’s just something really awesome about the All-Star week for baseball that blows the other All-Star weekends for sports out of the water. The NBA? Yea, half the athletes don’t want to be there and the dunk contest has a bunch of no-names. The celebrity game usually makes for a good hour of TV, but aside from that, it’s a snore…
