~James Blake actually didn't choke in the 5th set last night that is friggin great. Cost me a about an hour of sleep but it was worth it watching Santoro's 1980s beach polo. Santoro is also pretty fun to watch because he's french and well a pussy, he can't hit the ball hard so all he does is slice and lob and act like a human mosquito. It would be overly annoying to play that guy. ~100% Injury Rate which always seems to dig up solid stories uncovered the fact that their is a Vick-esque dog fighting incident in Ireland right now. Gerard Calvin a Gaelic Football star got busted for his own Dog Fighting ring. Good thing he's from Northern Ireland so I can disassociate myself from him
~So who wants to play beer pong digitally, on the Wii of course. Does the Wii have solid internet connection, like will you be able to play a buddy in beer pong on the web? That's insanity, and overly anti-social.
~Remember when Billy Wagner choked non stop for the Phillies a few years back when they needed him to make the postseason? Remember how Armando Benitez sucked in September and October for the Mets? Well Billy seems to be combining his play with the Phillies and pieces of Armando.
~More on the Mets, they are playing the Braves this weekend and well the Braves own them and the Braves have the advantage in every single pitching matchup. Their offense better get in gear big time because they easily could find themselves not in first place in either the East or the Wildcard come monday.
~I found this funny, the Cubs have the largest division lead in the National League.
~Why the hell would Major League Baseball be that concerned with Terry Francona wearing the correct uniform under his pullover jacket? Asking him during the game? What the hell is the big friggin deal? Sometimes you have to wonder about these friggin rules.
~The Yanks have the Red Sox and Mariners series remaining. The rest of the series are KC, TB, Toronto and Baltimore. It's time they stop sucking against Baltimore.
~Hooray for the NCAA they did something sensible by allowing Oklahoma to pay for a recruit's funeral after he was shot to death on friday. Initially Oklahoma told their booster to stop because they thought they might be subject to NCAA violation because the brother of the deceased is a Sophomore Running back.
~If you were going to take a guess as to which soccer team was wearing a white jersey with a singular red cross you would have to guess England right? Well if you know anything about international flags you would. And well you would be wrong, that is Serie A Italian Powerhouse Inter Milan who typically wears blue and black stripes. Apparently they have a patron saint. Umm, ok.~I really need photoshop, paint works most of the time but it needs the ability to rotate pictures at degrees not divisible by 90.
~Here are my EC columns this week, one about the lame Mets call on Wednesday night and one on Babalu. Check them out if you are so inclined.
