Random Thoughts: Wanna Send the Milwaukee Brewers On A Hitting Rampage? No Hit Them.

Random thoughts while wondering whatever happened to Jesus Pena:
  • If the Milwaukee Brewers win the NL Central this season, they probably should send Detroit pitcher Justin Verlander a fruit basket or something.  Since Verlander no-hit the Brewers on Tuesday night, the Crew is 3-0 and back with a vengence.  The no-hitter may have been the wake-up call for the Brewers offense.
  • Shhhh!  Don't look now, but here come the Cubs.
  • For those of you who enjoy watching car wrecks in our reading audience, we offer this for your Saturday night entertainment.
  • When I was one the air in Nashville, we had a caller named Steve who was a Cleveland Browns fan.  He often talked about how mad he was that Art Modell spiriteds the Brownies away to Baltimore, but how happy he was that the league had decieded to field a new Cleveland Browns team.  I don't know if Steve is still in Nashville, but I can tell you one thing for sure: The Nashville Predators potential move to Hamilton, ON is not about the average fan.  The Preds have legions of average fans.  It's about sky boxes and corporate sponsorships, which the Preds have had problems with obtaining.  I know Pred nation pretty well, and the saddest thing that will happen if the Preds do leave town is all the redneck morons saying "See, I told you we don't like hockey down here."
  • Well now, it looks like the NHL isn't the only sport no one wants to watch
  • Hey, look.  Joe Gibbs Racing IS still fielding a number 18 car. And I thought they put it on blocks when Bobby LaBonte left.
  • What occupation (besides radio Program Director) has a shorter shelf life than a national hockey league head coach?  Personally, I think the reason the Bruins fired Dave Lewis was because he refused to take off the false mustache and glasses behind the bench.  Hopefully, they will return his stapler.
  • Speaking of short shelf lives, guess who wants to be dealt back into the NBA?
  • Cliff Floyd came home to play ball.  Now he not only does that, he helps care for his ailing father.  It;s very rare you hear about selflessness from athletes.  Nicely done, sir.
  • Around the blogs, Can't Stop the Bleeding has a semi-humorous story on how Baseball Prospectus inadvertantly slandered Red Sox player Kevin Youlkalis and Fire Mark May has a wicked sendoff on Alabama Head Coach Nick Satan Saban.
  • Rule number one of playing paintball: ALWAYS PROTECT THE BOYS.  ALWAYS.
  • For those of you that follow both sports and are closet foodies, one of my favorites was recently at US Phonebooth field.  Had I been more aware, I would have gone because I would love to meet him.
  • Dolly Parton has been named an honorary girl scout for life.  In recognition of this, GSA is putting out a new kind of cookie next year in Dolly's honor.  The cookie will be moutains of coconut smothered in white chocolate with a dab of strawberry in the the middle.  They will be marketed as "Bodacious Tatas".
  • It would be fasinating to me to see how Fred Goldman would behave if he and had son actually had a relationship.  It has made it clear over the last 12 years that with Fred, it's not about preventing this from happening again or the rights of families who have been victimized by a loss.  It's about generating income on the head of your dead son.  Fred is as big a scumbag as O.J.
  • Bob Barker must have left "The Price is Right" because he was suffering from dementia.  He says Rosie O'Donnell could replace him as host of that show.  Except she wants the line changed to "go on down."
  • If you think that the black out at the end of the last Soprano's episode was Tony getting whacked, you may be right.
  • El Gubernator lo tiene derecho. si usted puebla siempre desee hablar inglés, usted apagará Telemundo y verá la TV americana. Las óperas del jabón son justas como buenas, aunque las mujeres tienen pechos más pequeños.
  • Ever had a bad hair day?  Here's some criminals that have worse hair than rap sheets.
