Random Shots: God Bless Canada
Random shots while wondering whatever happened to Melido Perez:
- The White Sox meet the Angels tonight at U.S. Commiskey Park. They take a 1½ game lead into the series, thanks to the Toronto Blue Jays. Hopefully, Ozzie Guillen has sent him a fruit basket.
- Carlos Quentin may be back in the lineup as early as tonight. Maybe. Who knows? It seems like the Sox want to keep everyone guessing on the severity of his injury, because without him, the Sox are a very average team.
- Jerry Owens, according to the fish wrappers has "matured." Now if he could just hit and throw.
- For the 9,000th freakin' time, can we please let this crap go? Nobody has won anything yet.
- The Milwaukee Brewers are in danger of their second straight collapse in September. Sooner or later, even the big boy is going to lose one. If Ned Yost can't get this team to cross the finish line, he should be fired. Period.
- Bears Quarterback Kyle Orton swears he's improved. So, that makes him, what, David Carr good?
- Even with Tommie Harris, do you really think the Bears are going to slow the Colts down? They couldn't do it in the Super Bowl when they were actually younger and better, so don't expect any miracles Sunday night.
- ESPN has finally figured out what guys want is less entertainment and more football. Duh. All this "man talk" and "manfotainment" crap has been what has been killing sports talk radio for years. (Awful Announcing)
- People act surprised that the Jets wouldn't make the Elderly Hillbilly a captain. The guy has been around so long, most of the team was out in the backyard as kids pretending to be him. It's almost like a Chicago election.
- Meanwhile, the Onion weighs in on the Brett Favre Packer fans know and love.
- Here's a great story: You play professional baseball for nineteen years, most of which has been riding buses in the minors. You are called up and at age 36, finally hit your first home run. Nicely done, Scott McLain.
- The smirk on Darth Visor's face has been replaced by egg. And to my friends in Nashville who are long suffering Vandy fans, this one was a long time in coming.
- If a tree falls in a forest and no one hears it does it make a sound?
- Chunky Soup is getting rid of the NFL moms ad campaign. Someone had a different idea. (Bugs & Cranks)
- This would scare me. A lot. I think she's a Stepford Wife. (Can't Stop The Bleeding)
- Here's a guy who just doesn't get it. Of course the White Sox announcers are homers. So are the Indians announcers. So are the Braves and D-Backs and Yankees announcers. This is why they are on LOCAL stations. Duh.
- For those of you who missed Rocky Wednesday afternoon, poof:
