Random Thoughts: Sox Show Up In The OC
Random thoughts while wondering whatever happened to Barry Jones:
- Hey! Good starting pitching, timely hitting, good defense. Look everybody, it's the Chicago White Sox! I'm still concerned about Jermaine Dye not swinging at 3-2 pitches and then acting indignant he did not get a walk. I also got a little annoyed over what he said in the paper this morning about how he knows if the Sox don't start winning, he'll get white flagged out. Jermaine, it's only May. Why don't you swing at a few 3-2 counts, put the ball in play and THEN we'll talk about it. Oh, BTW, here's the REAL reason Sox fans have been grumpy lately.
- In the chase for Lord Stanley's cup, In game 4, Detroit scored with :26 on the clock to tie the game, then won it in overtime. Yesterday, you saw the after effects with the Wings dominating the suddenly toothless Sharks 4-1. That said, I don't think the Rangers have much of a chance against Buffalo in their game 6. In the other game played yesterday, New Jersey collected it's Rice a Roni and SCP home game as Ottawa came from behind for a 3-2 win ending their series 4 games to 1.
- Hey there's a baseball team in Milwaukee! And it's not a bad team! They're even starting to notice in Chicago.
- The White Sox may be without their favorite batting practice pitcher for awhile.
- Rain in Richmond last night postponed the Nextel Cup race and complicated my Sunday.
- Do you think that Brett Favre would enjoy throwing this guy the damn ball? Ted Thompson, you are on the clock. Make the deal.
- In the sport of kings (and, apparently Queens) Street Sense pushed his way through the crowd to win the Kentucky Derby yesterday. At one point, he was 19th in a 20 horse race, but showed a huge bust of speed as down the stretch they came. Barbaro nods his approval from the big pasture in the sky.
- Lawyers for the University of Arkansas are trying to quash the subpoenas issued by attorneys for the Arkansas alum suing the school for misusing tax payer money in the Mitch Mustain affair. The only judge in the world that probably would allow this suit to see the light of day in court is that judge from India who thought Richard Gere was being obscene. This is supposed to be a taxpayer suit, yet no doubt taxpayers are footing the legal bills. Make it go away.
- Floyd Mayweather Junior beats Oscar De La Hoya in a twelve round split decision. Translation: Get ready for Floyd vs. Oscar II. It was a great fight for a sport that is in desperate need of a shot in the arm. Boxing, at one time, was relevant. Now, it's a (pun alert) punchline.
- A vendor at an Arkansas arena quit his job because his employer demand he do his job during the national anthem. If you can't honor our country and all our fighting men and women overseas by waiting ninety more seconds for you hot dog, you should relocate to Canada immediately.
- Oh what a tangled web we weave (in gold).
- Alec Baldwin isn't the first celebrity who made an ass of himself on voicemail.
- You may have read that Nightrider and Baywatch star David Hasselhoff fell off the wagon and was videotaped by his teenage daughter to remind him of it. Hasselhoff, while regretting the incident, says he was under a lot of stress including a divorce and other pressures. Well, that does not turn out to be totally true. Here's the real story:
