Well, well, well. Let’s see here. I’ve got a lot of topics to cover and so little time. What that really means is I’ve been watching a lot of TV and have formed opinions about things that I probably have no business discussing. Perhaps I’ll take a page from my colleague and use some rapid fire. COMING ATCHA!!! BAM! I hate Joe Buck. He’s an absolute moron. Not only do I find him pretentious and arrogant, but he’s also completely biased when it comes to Philly sports, and that, will not stand. Buck was commentating for the All-Star game…
1.) Man, glad that trial is over! Just kidding, to be honest, I didn’t even know what trial everyone was talking about. I logged onto Facebook, saw a bunch of people pissed off about some verdict, screaming things like: “How could they! I’m STUNNED!” “First OJ and now THIS!” And I was instantly curious. I went over to Yahoo, saw some crazy lady smiling in a courtroom and deduced that this was what all the hub-bub was about. I wanted to learn more, so I read a few articles about this circus, and you know what the craziest part…
Baseball umpires are ejecting people like crazy. There have been 15 ejections in the past 5 days. A majority of these are coming because of the poor calls umpires are making, themselves. Although this may be a little excessive, the baseball officiating system is still about as terrible as it ever was. People like the human element of baseball. It’s why so many people fight technology when the issue gets brought up. Of course it sucks when a strike zone is all over the place. I want to blow my brains out when a game ends on a looking…
Yea! It’s that time of the year again, time to pack up the old Suby and hit the slower lower for some BBQ, beaches and pine cone baseball! If you don’t know what pine cone baseball is, then I don’t know what to tell you. On to the thoughts! 1.) I read an article in Details magazine titled “Shia LeBeouf: Hollywood’s Last Badboy.” That title is kind of like saying, “The Sun: The Galaxy’s Last Moon.” What is badass about LeBeouf you ask? Well, he is happy to tell you! Apparently, he went to Taco Bell (or some other…
The Phillies are 50, in wins that is. As the first team to 50 wins, I feel we deserve a parade or something. A ‘just for being awesome’ cake is in order. Can we talk about Vance Worley for a second? The man is becoming a small legend in Philadelphia this summer. Filling in for Joe Blanton (and now Oswalt for a brief duration,) Worley is looking like a seasoned veteran on the mound. At only 23, he has produced in 3 of his 4 quality starts opportunities with a 2.43 ERA and 26 Ks. Throwing him into a…
1.) I had oatmeal for breakfast this morning. This was a mistake. Oatmeal is not a meal. It’s what horses eat. Well, the oats part at least. But hey, like the picture says, “Eat your damn Oatmeal!” Quick aside: Did anyone ever catch that SNL skit with John Goodman as Wilford Brimley? All you need to know is that he sat on a horse and said things like this: “When I said I watch my diet, I guess I mean I watch the minivan from Buddy’s Barbecue pull up and unload about $200 worth of pork ribs onto my…
It’s so hard (cue Boyz II Men) to say goodbye, to Ig-uo-da-laaaaaaaaaa. Sadly, it appears as though this summer will be the last spent with Andre. With the NBA Draft starting tomorrow, rumors are flying all over the place about that man’s destination. The Clippers, the Warriors, even the Lakers?? I, for one, am going to be sad to see him go. Sure, he was never the clutch, high-flying star we all wanted him to be, but he did give you a healthy amount of assists almost every night and played great defense. Was it a mistake to throw…
