Random Thoughts: %@#$ing Piranhas
Random thoughts while wondering whatever happened to Jamie Navarro:
This is clearly unaccepable. So is this. Gavin Floyd, please pick-up your parting gifts at the bus station on your way back to Charlotte. Enough said.- Jim Thome needs to get a grip.
- Okay, let me get this straight. The Sox can't sign their best pitcher, the guy next store, a guy who started cleaning out his locker yesterday but they are interested in shipping someone to Tampa Bay to bring in a guy who is big on talent but bigger on trouble? Kenny Williams, please relinquish possession of the crack pipe immediately.
- The Milwaukee Brewers, without the services of centerfielder Billy Hall, went to Washington and vetoed the Nationals. Meanwhile, the Cubs were derailed by the surging Pirates.
- Brewers broadcaster Bob Uecker has made some new friends in Pittsburgh. I listened to Uke and Jim Powell talk about this on my way to work on Wednesday and Powell apparently has no sense of humor.
- Rain at Daytona washed out qualifying for the Pepsi 400, so Jeff Gordon gets the poll. Before you scream unfair, remember that this is a restricter plate race and that they can only go so fast.
Ken Griffey Junior ties Frank Robinson on the all-time home run list with 586. If it wasn't for injuries, we'd be talking about Junior's assault on Hank Aaron's record. And if we were, everyone, including Hank, would be happy.- Chicago Blackhawks GM Dale Tallon and Head Coach of the day Denis Savard are thrilled with their crop of young players. Yeah, and the people that ran the Titanic were thrilled with the band.
- Alabama has reported some secondary violations in it's football program. And no, we're not talking about pass interference or illegal chucking.
Is this the year that Vandy can get over the hump? I covered them during the "Woodyball" days and I swear, I never saw a team shoot themselves in the foot more ways than some of those Vandy teams. I'd like to see them have one decent season for the fans that stayed loyal to them. - The idiot who sued the dry cleaners over his pants for $54 million dollars and lost refuses to exit the playing field quietly. Since Roy Pearson is a judge, I think some judge organization needs to sit him down and tell him that if he continues to embarrass himself by being a knucklehead, in addition to missing his pants, he'll be missing his robe.
- Only in Wisconsin: A drunk woman drives her car into a cheese factory. You got it, she wanted some cheese with her wine.
- Fred Thompson is raising more money by not announcing he is running than he would be if he did.
- Hillary is officially kicking Barack Obama's ass in the polls. Canadian border security is doubled to prepare for the mass exodus should Hillary get elected.
- Those free guitar lesson videos you were watching on YouTube. The RIAA was watching them too and they don't give a damn whether you learn to play guitar or not. I'm waiting for the day where someone is humming in their car and an RIAA representitive pops out from the backseat and tells the person humming that they have to pay to hum that song. They'd be doing it if they could get away with it, believe me.
- Sometimes listeners are smarter than the suits that run radio stations.
- A Denver man was arrested for harassment after hitting on a couple of women. Still want to send that babe across the way a drink? I didn't think so.
- The great American dream: I own property, therefore it's my property and I have the freedom to do what I want with it. No so fast my friend. The next house that I buy will be out in the boonies with no neighbors.
- Some guy in California got so frustrated with the parking situation in his neighborhood, he drew lines in the street to show people where to park. Instead of a ticker tape parade, the guy got a ticket.
- He shoots, he scores! From 180 feet!
