~Jerry Yang is your 2007 World Series of Poker Champion. I have never heard of him and my guess is you haven't either so I'll give you a quick rundown. He's American but of Laos decent and he won 8.25 million dollars by winning the tournament and apparently that's what it looks like when you're leaning up against an 8.25 million dollar stack of money.~So Mike Vick is in a shitload of trouble. Not only is he being indicted on the dog fighting charges, but he's being indicted by the federal jury meaning they'll throw the kitchen sink at him. Plus, he's being targeted as the main culprit as the one who set everything up so this gives incentive for his co-defendants to rat him out for less jail time. And furthermore if you watched sportscenter this morning you would have heard how some of the dog's were 'put down' and let's just say it was a tad bit cruel. Here's an excellent article which describes just how much shit Vick is in.
~Daunte Culpepper finally was cut ending a terrific tenure in Miami. I have no idea where he will go, the rumors to Jacksonville make limited sense. I just don't see a starting job out there for Culpepper this season, so one will have to wait and see if he's willing to take a backup gig right now when he says he's healthy.
~Who's Now is lame and everyone is killing it, even Mike Francessa went on a big rant yesterday on the radio blasting how unwatchable sportscenter is.
~Jeremy Accardo needs to learn how to hold runners on. The biggest reason he blew a save last night was the Yankees ability to steal on his big leg kick, as Cairo stole 2nd prior to being thrown out on at the plate (the most hideous slide ever), the Melkman stole 3rd base immediately following, and finally he was so worried about Damon stealing second that he balked the tieing run home. Slide Step Jeremy, it's called a slide step.~Another example of the Yankees broadcasters being miserable, Suzyn Waldman stated that she had never seen Derek Jeter argue with an umpire following strike calls to end an at bat. Um, Suzyn he did the night before when Brandon League struck him out on balls that could have been deemed low.
~The Phillies had 26 hits last night against the Dodgers, 26 friggin hits, damn.
~Ryan Garko came off the bench last night for the Indians to hit a game tieing two run homer in the ninth and a game winning rbi single in the 11th. If he's on your waiver wire in your fantasy league go pick him up. In 5 games since the all star break the 26 year old is 10-16 with 3 homers.~In two games versus the Indians the White Sox almost blew an 11-2 lead and did blow a 5-3 lead in the 9th. Ozzie Guillen is probably nearing a heart attack.
~Oh and if you're bored at work play this baseball game. You'll be able to waste a solid 1/2 hour no problem.
