The weekend that was.......
Let's see if my fingers can keep up with my brain. Soo much over the weekend, Soo little time.
NFL
Seau signs another 1 year deal with New England. Well, no kidding. At this point i think he would basically play for free given the Pats are a lock for a run at the Super Bowl. Can you think of one other team right now, except mabey, MABEY, the colts who have this good a shot? Any takers? (Waiting.............) Didn't think so.
I should start keeping a running police blotter for the NFL. (actually i think www.thesmokinggun.com already has one.)
#1 - Chris Henry (suppostially) fails a drug test.
#2 - Jets KR Justin Miller was charged with domestic violence.
As i have said before. WTF? Hello? You in the public eye? Look even if you a back up long snapper for the Houston Texans your under the microscope. If your name end up in the police blotter and you play for an NFL team, your gonna make headlines.
NBA
I actually watched a little of the spurs/Jazz game last night. That's about all i ahve to say about that. They look about as enthused to play that game as Jason Giambi is to give another interview.... ZZZZZZZZ...................................
NHL
Ducks shock the Wings in OT last night (nobody saw this coming) and take a 3-2 series lead. HOLY CRAP!
Again Scott Niedermayer (in front of a national audience) scores the game winner. Is this a contract year for him? All i hear is CHA-CHING!
MLB
The yankee's are the talk of every radio show between here and Mars.
It's a little earlie to start talking about firing Torre (or is it?) I like Joe, but Yankee fans are like a dogs following a steak. That thing drops a half and inch and there snapping at it. Who you gonna replace him with? Larry Bowa? Donnie Baseball? Come on. You want ot risk not getting Clemens? Rogers main reason for coming back is Torre. I do not blame Joe. I blame..........
#1 - The injury bug. Usually it effects one person in a varity of positions. This time it targeted the entire pitching staff. (Some where Randy johnson is laughing his ass off).
#2 - The attutude. Have you watched any of the games this year? Almost all of the team look like there already thinking about tee times. the only one who still looks interested is Jeter. A-rod has hit a wall and looks like he's back to his old self. Giambi looks ready for a streight jacket (or better yet HAND CUFFS!). Cano looks baked, Posada looks tired after only 40 games, and Bobby Abreu looks so not-interested at the plate the pitcher could call out the pitch he's gonna throw and Bobby would still miss it.
Gabbard throw for the win agenst the braves and gets sent back down to the minors. Beckett should be ready to go again in about 5 days. The kid looked good. Keep him around, your gonna need him.
Woods to throw this week for the Cubs. (Holy crap. Is this ground hog day? We have a Kerry Woods sighting.)
Now, I know i should have said this earlier but i think Jason Giambi has entered the Curt Schilling zone. Some time it is good to just keep your mouth shut. This would be one of them. Now you give the Yanks reason to yank your contract. If Jason wanted out of new york hwe should have just asked. next thing you know he's gonna start a blog and call out Barry Bonds after he breaks the record. (wait, he called him out already and he has not broken the record yet, DAMIT!).
Finally,
Hats off to Randy Johnson. 71/4ip, 10k's 0 BB's/ His 206th 10plus strike out game. Question. If he does not get 300 wins (which he will) are those hall of fame numbers?
Back tomorrow.

Mid week shuffle
I may bounce around a little
JR. Was docked a 100 driver points. And Tony (Eury jr.) was fined $100,000.00 for improperly mounted wing on the COT. Tony's taking the blame and Dale is offering to pay the fine. Were they tryong to get away with something? Mabey. But you can almost here them saying F-IT in there interviews. What are they going to do? FIRE HIM? I expect more of this. Especially if he starts droping in the standings. Owners are trying to find a way to push the envelope for the COT, the only way to do that is to cheat and see what you can get away with. Got cought, whoops!. Cheated and NASACAR didn't catch it? Better!. I'm just saying. Everyone loves Jr. Why not ask him to do it? (Remember the kid in high school who really didn;t give a crap and you asked him to do everything 1st in case you got A) hurt, B) cought, C) both? Well right now that's Dale.)
NBA
As expected David Stern suspended Amare Stoudemire and Boris Diaw for the Suns and Robert Horry for the spurs. BUT. Amare and Boris got suspended for tonight game (in pheonix) and Horry got suspended for 2 games (tonight and game 6). A couple things here.
#1 - When Amare is out Boris is his replacement under normal circumstances. With both of them under suspension this basically kills them for tonight (you would think). My suggestion, put in the smallest and quickest line up you can and run them off the floor. The Spurs are a team that likes to slow the temp. Run Duncan and Parker off the floor. No way the can keep up with alittle run-n-gun offence.
#2- STAY ON THE BENCH!
The NBA rules are clear. During an altercation, if you were not on the floor to begin with, stay on the bench or get suspended. The 97 knicks game and "The Brawl" should have tought you that lesson. PERIOD.
#3 - If the Suns loose tonight the killed themselves. big shot Rob is only good for 5 to 10 points a night, off the bench. Stoudemire is the Suns leading scorer with about 29/8/3 and Diaw is good for about 15/3/1. Again this goes to #2 - STAY ON THE BENCH.
NFL BAD BOYS
Tank Johnson meet with Goodell yesterday. As of this morning no news on how the meeting went. Tracking............
Mike Vick.
Virginia investigators say the have evidence of Vick not only knowing about the dog fight, but being video taped watching one of them!. He's done. Wait until PETA get a hold of this story. The'll not olny run him into jail and out of football and possible out of the country. What do you compare this to? If this is true what kind of punishment should the NFL hand out (besides jail time)? All the reports i have read (espn/fox news / yahoo sports) all tell the same story. #1- HE KNEW. #2 - HE CAME #3 - HE WATCHED.
MLB -
Speaking of morons.
Lastings Millage, one of the best major league "ready now" prospects and one of the better names in baseball. Was features on a rap CD degrading women and using the N-word. NIMROD PLEASE!
L-MILLZ as he is know on the album and the song "bend ya kneez" features vulgar language twards women, several sexual referances and repeted use of the N-word.
Have we learned nothing from Don Imus? What was he doing? Sitting on the Dl and thinking to himself "You know i can play this game for a long time or totally screw up my future by making an obsene rap CD". "Wonder what i should do?". Was this a coin toss? Was Matt Hasselbeck the one tossing the coin and told him to "Take the ball and score"? What the Hell. I will never, ever, ever understand professional athlete's.
I grew up watching and playing baseball. Would have given my left nut to play professionally or even semi pro, or even been good enought to have a collage "look" at me. Motocross was not paying well at the time and the UFC did not exist so i got a job like everyone else. We as regualr people bitch about our jobs, lives, wives, ect. But baseball players complain about the long flights, long days, double headers and six figure salaries, for playing a sport they once loved to play. Mabey thats the problem. They play it so much it takes all of the joy out of it. Mabey we should have an 8 year rule like we do the president of the united states. After 8 years your done. I can think of the players right now i enjoy watching and who actually enjoy the game. David Wright(mets) Johnathan Papplebon (red sox) Dontell Willis (Marlins) Ryan Howard (philly). Know what they all have in common? Less than 5 years in the league. Sure there are some exceptions for the older players (Chipper Jones, Greg Maddux, john Smoltz, Omar Vizquel, and even Randy jiohnson seems to be having fun again) but think about the bitter players still playing the game because of pride or money, Bonds(pride), David Wells(money), Roger Clemens(pride and money), Beiggo (3,000 hit club). Sure they still contribute to there ball club (Wells piched a hell of a game the other night and lost due to lack of offence) but baseball is a "kids game to play and a "grow-ups" game to watch, atleast professionally. If your male and over 35 play softball. that's why the game was invented. I was at a game the other night and saw two kinds of players. #1 - The serious kind. Who kept yelling at his teamates and the ump for the screw ups. (In the words of Norm Edwards "YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME!). Then there was #2 - Mabey not the most athletic guy in the world but was having fun with it. Made some good play in the field, was alway supportive of his teamate when something bad happened and came into the dug out saying "Lets get um back guys!" after the other team rallied. That's the guy you want to play the game with. (in the word of Allen Iverson "We talking about PRACTICE!")
Look, barring a miracle, none of us will ever become Roy hobbs and make a major league comeback at age 36 (but the dream is still there) so what ever you do have fun with it. Every morning you wake up as a rookie again. Play like one, but act like an old pro.
And finally - News of the weird.
Congrats for Howard David Ludwig for getting his offical state of Ill gun permitt after his grandfather bought him a 12 guage Beretta shot gun as a gift. On the certificate is his picture with his age, height and weight. It list as follows.
Howard David Ludwig
Age: 10 months.
Height: 2ft 3in.
Weight: 20lb.
Look it up. True story.

Tueday 05-15-07
NFL
Farve will not be at minicamp to attend his daughter graduation. Since when do graduations last 3 days? This is a mandatory mini camp. I can see the whole family thing taking president but, why not at least go for a day to meet your new offensive players. (Wait, They didn't draft any. No wonder he skipping out.) That and the fact he waiting for some other big mouth to take all the focus off of him. Speaking of T.O.
T.O. says he learned "nothing" from old caoch Bill P. Now, i know the old saying about "if you can;t say anything nice, don't say anything at all" and i think he should keep him mouth shut. (We'll call this the "schilling rule"). Being in the lighting industry we learn to never - EVER - bad mouth anyone, especially after they have left a job because you never know where there going to land next. Same could happen to T.O. What would happen in two or three years when an aging T.O. is looking for his last stand and The Tuna got lured out of retirement to coach, say, TEXAS. Would Parcells take him on? (Hmmmmm, NO!.)
And in other news. Not a word on Vick this week. Looks like Bobby has the whole place on lockdown.
NHL
Buffalo is down 3-0 to Ottawa. Sorry guys. You done.
NBA
Jersey should start making tee times.
Golden state has to win tonight or that's that. IF they do knock one off tonight i'll be accepting reservations for room back on the bandwagon.
Spur's / Pheonix is starting to really heat up. If they keep up like this neither will have anything left for the next round. They should be handing down suspensions this afternoon for last nights altercation. (Which i think is total B/S. Let them play, let um fight, let um bleed.)
Dirk will be getting his MVP award today. (Can you hear the ackward silence?)
MLB
Congrats to Greg Maddux. Throws a 96 pitch, 5 hit, complete game
As opposed to
Dice K. 126 pitch complete game.
Remember Maddux is 14 years older than DK.
Also, Jason Bergmann for the Nats. Had a no hitter into the 8th until it was broken up by a homer. (DOH!)
And to the METS. They screwed Glavine, but still got the win in the 9th (on a walk!)
On a ramdon note.
Has anyone been watching Dancing with the stars?
Laila Ali is smoking hot for a boxer chick. (Can not tell if it's she hot or rich, or both.) I was walking threw the living room last night and my girlfriend had it on the tube. Speaking of smokin hot, check out the chick Apollo (think you spell it like that) is dancing with. Kim Johnson is her name i think. She's 18 and she's DROP DEAD HOT. If i was him i would be trying to tag that every night of the week. They say there "like brother and sister". Ever play "house" with your hot 2nd cousin? (NO? - try it, / YES? Then you know what i'm talking about). He has to be. He's a young kid. Plow it like a blizzard.
More tomorrow.

Weekend and JR
Stud(s) of the weekend.
Fred Lewis. Giants called him up for two weeks while Dave Roberts is on the DL. In his 1st game up this season he hit for the cycle. on mothers day!
Baron Davis and his Sick dunk over Kirilenko. (www.youtube.com is all over it.)
Dud(S) of the weekend
The Orioles. Blowing a 5 run lead in the bottom of the 9th. I watched almost no TV this weekend and only saw the highlites(more on that later) but that was just SILLY....
Ryan Howard to the DL.
Bode Miller quites the US Ski team. (more later)
NBA
Mark my words.
Chicago is done.
Jersey is done.
Pheonix is done.
Golden State (too bad.) is D-O-N-E
NASCAR
Jeff wins. (sucks for my pool). JR comes in 8th. And no one is paying attention to any other story. The HMS dominance is a story all in itself, but it's not really the main story. If you look at all of the COT races the won, something happened to help them win. Someone else had a bad pit, Wrong adjustments and the car went to shit, ect.....
No one is talking about the following.
The season Jamie Mcmurry is having.
The come back Kurt Busch and Ryan Newman are having.
Matt Kenseth's robot is back behind the wheel.
I'm offically knick-naming Denny Hamlin "Almost". Well we almost won, AGAIN !
JR -
You have alot of time to think when you go fishin. the fact that Dale is leaving DEI should not come as that much of a shock to all. The writing was on the wall along time ago.
#1 - Hires Martin Truex JR. One of the most sought after roockies in the sport and DEI lands him? during the interview process you can almost see Dale telling him "One day, This will all be yours."
#2 - Almost to the day after Truex is hired he start "dropping hints" about A) Bad crew decisions B) Lack of equiptment C) Not having a 3rd team to "learn" from.
#3 - Start his own Busch program to develope drivers.
#4- He also gradually got more and more vocal about wanting ownership of his fathers team. I am in total agreement with everyone that Theresa E. is a total nutjob, bitch, slut. money hungry whore for not giving him what he wants and his fathers company. It would be something totally diffrent if T. was actually Dale's mom and had given birth to him, then I might have seen this diffrent. Her name will never be looked at the same in this industry (One of my friends has already started calling her "Fuk-me-sa", don't worry did not make sence to me either), especially by the diehard fans. Shake your head all you want but now there is no turning back for Little E.
So where's he gonna land?
RCR is the obvious choice. #1 - no 4th driver. #2 - Still own the right to car number #3 and #3 - a chevy house. I would love to see him get into the #3, Get really, really, really pissed and start dressing like Johnny Cash, and driving like his father.
Rumor has it Budwiser might not follow him.
No big thing. With his popularity the would be nuts not to. But the again stranger things have happened. (JR leaving DEI). If he signes with another brand of beer just immagine the what would happen. say he signs with... (let me think)..... Wait, i got it. He signs with Segrams Wine Coolers. That would be hillarious. Imagine 5 million rednecks switching from BUD to Wine Coolers? (Where's the redneck comedy tour when you need them). Package store around the country ordering thousand of cases of coolers? That's off the wall. Paying for in on there
VISA CARD
Visa is the supposite from rummer for his main sponsor. that's a far cry from the "welcome to the new generation of Wrangler". I could not wait for those commercials to start. Especially of they come out with some of the "priceless" commercials.
$200.00 for wine coolers
$50.00 for ice.
$75.00 gas for motor home.
Throwing up peach cobbler cooler during the checkered flag: Priceless......
Let the bidding war begin
Dale say's "It's not about the biggest pay check". Yes, and no. Of course it about a big paycheck. Who ever wins the cup gets what, Like 3.5 million or so? He wants to win, PERIOD. Why not take in a six or seven figure paycheck in the process? There is no open market comparision to him anywhere is sports. Mabey the only one close is Payton Manning with all the products he pedels. No one else comes even close.

Baron Davis and his Sick dunk over Kirilenko. (www.youtube.com is all over it.)
Dud(S) of the weekend
The Orioles. Blowing a 5 run lead in the bottom of the 9th. I watched almost no TV this weekend and only saw the highlites(more on that later) but that was just SILLY....
Ryan Howard to the DL.
Bode Miller quites the US Ski team. (more later)
NBA
Mark my words.
Chicago is done.
Jersey is done.
Pheonix is done.
Golden State (too bad.) is D-O-N-E
NASCAR
Jeff wins. (sucks for my pool). JR comes in 8th. And no one is paying attention to any other story. The HMS dominance is a story all in itself, but it's not really the main story. If you look at all of the COT races the won, something happened to help them win. Someone else had a bad pit, Wrong adjustments and the car went to shit, ect.....
No one is talking about the following.
The season Jamie Mcmurry is having.
The come back Kurt Busch and Ryan Newman are having.
Matt Kenseth's robot is back behind the wheel.
I'm offically knick-naming Denny Hamlin "Almost". Well we almost won, AGAIN !
JR -
You have alot of time to think when you go fishin. the fact that Dale is leaving DEI should not come as that much of a shock to all. The writing was on the wall along time ago.
#1 - Hires Martin Truex JR. One of the most sought after roockies in the sport and DEI lands him? during the interview process you can almost see Dale telling him "One day, This will all be yours."
#2 - Almost to the day after Truex is hired he start "dropping hints" about A) Bad crew decisions B) Lack of equiptment C) Not having a 3rd team to "learn" from.
#3 - Start his own Busch program to develope drivers.
#4- He also gradually got more and more vocal about wanting ownership of his fathers team. I am in total agreement with everyone that Theresa E. is a total nutjob, bitch, slut. money hungry whore for not giving him what he wants and his fathers company. It would be something totally diffrent if T. was actually Dale's mom and had given birth to him, then I might have seen this diffrent. Her name will never be looked at the same in this industry (One of my friends has already started calling her "Fuk-me-sa", don't worry did not make sence to me either), especially by the diehard fans. Shake your head all you want but now there is no turning back for Little E.
So where's he gonna land?
RCR is the obvious choice. #1 - no 4th driver. #2 - Still own the right to car number #3 and #3 - a chevy house. I would love to see him get into the #3, Get really, really, really pissed and start dressing like Johnny Cash, and driving like his father.
Rumor has it Budwiser might not follow him.
No big thing. With his popularity the would be nuts not to. But the again stranger things have happened. (JR leaving DEI). If he signes with another brand of beer just immagine the what would happen. say he signs with... (let me think)..... Wait, i got it. He signs with Segrams Wine Coolers. That would be hillarious. Imagine 5 million rednecks switching from BUD to Wine Coolers? (Where's the redneck comedy tour when you need them). Package store around the country ordering thousand of cases of coolers? That's off the wall. Paying for in on there
VISA CARD
Visa is the supposite from rummer for his main sponsor. that's a far cry from the "welcome to the new generation of Wrangler". I could not wait for those commercials to start. Especially of they come out with some of the "priceless" commercials.
$200.00 for wine coolers
$50.00 for ice.
$75.00 gas for motor home.
Throwing up peach cobbler cooler during the checkered flag: Priceless......
Let the bidding war begin
Dale say's "It's not about the biggest pay check". Yes, and no. Of course it about a big paycheck. Who ever wins the cup gets what, Like 3.5 million or so? He wants to win, PERIOD. Why not take in a six or seven figure paycheck in the process? There is no open market comparision to him anywhere is sports. Mabey the only one close is Payton Manning with all the products he pedels. No one else comes even close.

J.R. , MLB, VICK, PACMAN, LANDIS
Soo much to cover.
NHL
Ottawa/Buffalo series is the hardest hitting, best skating, shot selection series i have seen in a long time. Thank god for espn and youtube or i never see any of the game. That's crap that MSG network is not even covering the game. Sucks living here in the east this time of year. Everything is yankee's / red sox for the next 4 months.
NBA
The Bulls holding a 19 point at the half loose the game buy 7. What the F ? The Bulls are D-O-N-E ! Same with Golden state. Jump off the bandwagon everyone. Utah's Boozer is just destroying everyone in the paint, and Byron Davis just does not look right. Someone should give him a full body x-ray and find out what's wrong with him.
LANDIS.
Was offered a cake walk if he gave up dirt on Lance Armstrong. I don't hear him singing yet. And i only say YET for 2 reasons. #1 - He does not have any. or (and i hope it's this one) He won't give it up, no matter what. I'm in the we'll-wait-and-see mode on this one.
NFL
Pacman to meet with goodell today. I'd love to be a fly on the wall for this one. Pacamn spent the night at a "gentelmans club" last night. All this the day before he meets to appeal his suspension (for being at a strip club where someone either A) got shot B) Got into a fight or C) go arrested for both.) Since the sespension was handed down he has done NOTHING to ever remotely try to change his immage. He was a gun toating thug that was making millions of dollars. Now he's just a gun toating thug. PERIOD. Which brings me too.....
MICHAEL VICK.
SI reports that Mike's "friends" are coming out and saying he knew of the dog fighting. As an animal love and pet owner i am appauled if that is true. As a football fan i am disgusted with his behavior. If even 10% of the accusations are true he should be fined, suspended and jailed. If he just "didn't know" what was going on, he should still be fined. Then sit him down and explain to him about keeping his house clean. (by that i mean, you gotta know what's going on with your property, money and everything you own, touch, and breath on if you under the mocroscope as much as Vick has been.)
MLB
Halladay gets knocked around for 11 hits, 8 runs in 5 innings. Unless Vernon Wells picks up the whole team by hitting a home runs every time he get to the plate and learns how to throw a curve ball the BlueJays are done.
The redsox do not seam to be slowing down. And i am going to say that is because of Kevin Youkilis. The bald head, the FU-MAN-CHU stash and the way he runs the bases. (Like a truck driver chasing a hooker who just stole his wallet.) It's awesome to watch him play. He get me early vote for the sox MVP.
The yankee's look like they might be starting to get healthy. Although there seams to be something missing. Haven't figured it out yet. Thinking.............
Matchups to watch this weekend.
SAT - Orioles(Trachsel) / Redsox(Mr. Big mouth / Schilling)
SAT - Diamondbacks (Hernandez) vs. Astro's (Oswalt)
Sun - Brewers (Capuano) vs Mets (Perez)
(for those of you have not seen Capuano pitch. Try and catch the game. When he's "on" he un-f'ing-beleivable")
Sun - Tigers (Bonderman) vs Twins (Bonser)
(to many jokes for that one.
SCHILLING
#1 - I'm glad Terry told him to shut up. Sometime we open his mouth and i think Ortiz could fit in there. The redsox are on a roll, there winning, WHY would you say something stupid and take the focus off your teasm and put it on yourself (Wait, sorry, forgot i was talkong about Curt). Sometimes i think someone should just duck tap his mouth and fingers shut. But that's just me. Next week he'll do something good and i feel diffrent about him again. (king of like a gorlfreind who's great in bed but you can not stand having a conversation with her.)
SABBATINI
Rory Sabbatini says that Tiger Woods is "beatable". Again this goes along with the Schilling deal. Why would you want to wake a sleeping giant (or Tiger in this case). We have not seen Tiger playing pissed off in a while. Last time that happened he destroyed Michelson by about 15 strokes. I expect be weekend's end we'll see tiger on top of the leader board and Rory hanging around the bottom 50 or so. (you don;t pull on supermans cape, you don't spit into the wind and you DO NOT piss of Tiger).
Have a good weekend everyone.
Wait..............................................
DALE JR.
This is for a colom all by itself. I'm going to wait for the weekends race to get over with, take in all the gossip and cross talk and give my views on the whole weekend on Monday morning.

QUICK UPDATE
NOT ALOT OF TIME TODAY.
And there will not be a post on 05-09-07
NBA
The Jazz ran the Warriors off the court last night. Not sure if one game can take away your MoJo, but if it can, it happened to golden state last night.
The Bulls are done. PERIOD.
NHL
Everyone will probley watch the Detroit / Anahem series. But, in my opinion, the one to watch is the Buffalo / Ottawa. ALOT of bad blood between these two.
Example. Buffalo is mike mini-me canada, except with more teeth. They both love hockey and fighting, so why not one another. No one pays attebtion to either of them unless there in the playoff's or get 10 feet of snow, even then we hardle notice them. This will be the better series.
MLB
Enought with Roger already. I read more more article on him i'm gonna have to run some old lady off the road to make me feel better. (more on him later)
Brad Penny (LA) 14K's in 8 innings. Wasn't NY looking at him last year? Ya, they were. I think Cashman said he was "too fragile"
Do you realize that this year we could have 4 more players join the 500 homer club? Frank Thomas, Jim Thome, Alex Rodriguez, Manny Ramirez. Manny is a bit of a long shot away (33) but if he get on a tear he could make it this year. The way Alex started out the season i would have thought he would have been there by now. (It's been 12 games since he hit a home run. Are we slumping? Looks lime my May 12th call for when he starts his down hill slide was a little off, He started earlie!).
After listening t0 alot of baseball people i am now in the agreement that the yankee's are overpaying Roger. Rogert says "it's not about the money". Horse shit. If it's not about the money make $600,0000.00 Like the riickie pitchers already on the payroll and TRAVEL WITH YOUR TEAM! David Wells and Greg Maddox both came out and said that ot was not right. (translation: That's crap, we can't get away with that shit around here.) We'll see what happens over the next few days.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST
Robert Baswell from west palm beach, fla is a homeless man who fell asleep in a dumpster to stay out of the rain and wound up inside a garbage truck getting crushed. 7 times! "He was screaming and trying to protect himself with a dead opossum". Atleast he'll get a few day hospital stay out of it He suffered a broken leg and a few ribs.
I'm outta here.....................

Yankee Stadium
I went to the "Clemens game" on sunday. With everything that happened before the 7th inning it will always be remembered for that inning. Here's what happened the whole day.
I woke up at 6am ready to start on my way to new york. first problem that happened was that i could hardly move a bone in my body. I had superset while lifting the day before and guess i worked out harder than i thought. It even hurt to go pee. But we have stuff to take care of that. A hot shower, alittle streatching and were good to go. So after my 30 minute Lava shower i grab somthing to eat and hit the road. RTE15 in connecticut is a beautiful drive even after you leave and hit New York. there is a rest area every 15 or so mile to stop and streatch your leggs or to take a leak. I was fine until the yahoo direction i printed out did not keep up with New York construction and also the change of road names. I need ot get a gps or something. After a short 15 minute detor, which was a good thing cause i had to take a piss every 30 minutes,i was back on the road headed in the right dirrection. UNTIL I HIT THE BRONX.
My luck there was a road race in the bronx. FING GREAT. I go past Yankee Staduim to meet my buddie Dave at his hotel. That was mistake #1. Half the city was blocked off for the race and i had no clue as to where i was half the time. (I't not like a blackjack table where you can bluff your way threw a bad hand. this is NYC. When you screwed, your screwed.) So after 30 minutes of driving no where i start heading back to the highway and the stadium. (i think). I try to follow my nose (which by this time is 1/2 way up my ass). 4 times in 15 minutes i stop for dirrections. the 1st three times i think they saw my CT plates and decided to send me in the totally wrong direction. (Thanks guys. I LOVE NEW YORK!). So i actually find my was back to the highway and start heading into the stadium. Stuck in traffic again i realized i really should have taken the train. I get in line like a good ct boy and everyone and there brother starts cutting in front of me. Something happened. I turned into Tony Stewart chasing a hamberger. (Remember in Days of Thunder When there racing to dinner beating the crap out of the rental cars? I did all that except i do not have any dents on my car.) But i made it to the parking garage with out getting killed or killing someone else.
THE GAME
Was good. I am not a yankee's fan, but judging by the croud 1/2 the Yankee fans arn't Yankee fans either. LEMME EXPLAIN...........
THE PEOPLE IN THE BOX BEHIND ME....................
Had more bad things to say about Jeter, A-rob and Giambi then i have head a redsox games. (so i'm told) Jeters 1st at bat i hear from behond me "JETER'S A FAG!", A-rod's 1st at bat, i hear from behind me, "A-ROD DOES STERIODS!", Jason's 1st a bat (again from behind me) "FAT F!@#! - HIT THE DAMN BALL". I look and there wearing Yankee shirts. Nice. what comes out of there mouth when the stink? This happen threw most of the game until the gentleman a few seats down asked the usher (are the usher's?) to ask the kids to stop. Wait, did i forget to mention they were 10 YEARS OLD? Sorry, must have slipped my mind. Classic. I'll never forget that as lonfg as i live.
THEN THERE"S THE JAPANESE FAMILY NEXT TO US.
Screaming at the top of there lungs each time Hideki or Ichiro take the field or are at bat. The one girl actually looked like she thought they could hear her. Everytime either one one of them looked even remotely twards our section she freaked out like a 17yr old at an Elvis concert. Ichiro, Hideki, i wuv you! Not once did the even acknowledge rthe fact Kenji Johjima was playing in the game. (for the record he's got a better batting average them both of them and plays a more demanding position, catcher.) Now to the point. They were not Yankee or Seattle fans. They were Japanese baseball fans who routed for the japanese players.(two out of three of them atleast). And whn Clemens came out well..............
THE GUY A FEW ROWS AHEAD OF US SCREAMS "YOU SUCK!"
Then the croud quited down and Roger gave the "They got me out of Texas and i'm coming back" line. The croud went bullshit. ROGER, ROGER, ROGER! And mister "YOU SUCK" was leading the chant for his section. The Japanese had this "who the hell is he?" look on there faces and the kids behind us were making some sort of comments about Roger taking it in the ass. (I LOVE NEW YORK!) It had everyting you wanted in a baseball game. Even two guys duking it out in the bathroom on a piss soaked floor. (That ride home must have been awesome. But come to think of it some guy did pass me on 95 doing like 100mph).
Then we get to the bench clearing non fight. From 500 feet away it look like a group of guys discussing where there going to dinner. Not much to report there. I saw the highlites on ESPN. They made it look much worse than it actually was. My only comment is that washburn should have plunked him in the ass.
The ride home was even worse, Although i had a really good time playing football with the guys on the top parking deck while waiting for the traffice to clear. (Thanks guys. Also next time we are not using my car as an "out of bounds" marker. I still have Mike's face print on my hood.)
I got lost on the way home. That was not soo bad. But getting lost in new york and having to take the biggest leak of your life is an adventure in itself. Worst part of the trip home was i thought my bladder was going to jump threw my brain. I finally spot a D&D and pull in to go. I start undressing on my way into the store because i know i'm barely going to make it, i turn the corner to the bathroom and i can not beleive my eye's. "OUT OF ORDER" Nooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And i almost killed myself running across the streeet threw traffic making it to the McDonalds.
All and all a great day. Dave, Thanks for the ticket, I had a ball.
I will commect on the Hoops, NLF and everything else tomorrow.

This should be fun
I'm happy, and i'm pissed.
I'm Happy
Golden State knocked of the Mav's last night. Wait, the did not just win, the destroyed Dallas. Beware of the warriors in round #2.
If Dirk wins the MVP it will be a shame. The voting for the MVP award should be after the playoffs. Now you can argue that Dirk season is not that of an MVP no the he stunk up the joint in the playoffs while Nash and Pheonix are still running strong (kind of).
I'm Happy
Manny got his swing back. (Not happy he found it agenst my Mariners). I like Manny, always have, even when everyone wanted to ship him out of Boston. Every once in a while the "Manny being Manny" thing get old but it is usually entertaining. Last night was classic. Manny hits a BOMB to left and watches it leave the park. IN THE 8TH INNING AND ONLY UP BY ONE RUN. The ball was in the stands and he was only 10ft away from the plate. Watching the replays after he connected he knew he had nailed it. Why not watch? Good thing they won the game though. If they had lost there would be a 100 sports writers calling for his head.
I'm Happy
The yankee's are on a roll and have won a few in a row. I'm going to sundays game at the stadium so i can really feel the mood 1st hand. One thing that did pop into my brain last night. I know Giambi is just the DH and all but can someone get him a uniform that fits? Every time i see him at the plate it looks like he just woke up from a nap.
I'm Happy
The Duck beat the Canucks. (i love that line)
Does Scott Niedermayer only show up during the playoff's? Mabey it east coast bias but we hear nothing from him during the regular season. (kind of like "big shot rob") Then he gets some good T.V. time and goes off. Is this a contract year for him?
I'm Happy
Gabe Ruediger was kicked off the ultimate fighter 5. The thing that upsets me is that someone (anyone) didn't take him out back and beat the crap out of him. All he did was talk shit and go the doctors to get a tub shoved up his ass. I do not care if he calls it a Kolonic (or how ever you say it) i call it anal sex. If he didn;t make a comment about the nurse being hot i would be 100% sure he a fag. Now i'm only 99% sure. Look i'm starting Mauy Thai next month and can not wait for my 1st fight. (even if i get knock on my ass) If i have 2 months notice that i was going to be on the show and be in front of millions of viewers you can best your ass i would show up in the best shape of my life and ready to fight. (like Rob, Cory and Nick) He came to the show at 179lb and the show is for the 155lb class. 24lb over weight? ARE YOU FUCKIN KIDDING ME? Then he does nothing but slack off for the 1st three weeks, cry like a little pussy, eat everything in site, bitch and moan the whole time, and bring down his team in the process. (I also have a problem with B.J. Penn for not calling his ass out and riding the whole team until gabe was in shape. Lil'Evil has his team rocking right now and in the beginning NO ONE wanted to work with Jans.) And now that i'm all rilled up, that brings me to
I'm really, really, really pissed............
David Hasselhoff was video taped by his daughters eating a cheeseburger, drunk off his ass, and admonishing him for being drunk in the process. In a statement David said the he is a recovering alcholic and that he relapsed and that "relapse is a part of recovery". (Face getting red and hands are burning). What an assinine statement. I am a recovering alcholic (20 months sober) and relapse is the furthers thing from recovery. Good thing he doesn't have alot of fans left in the United States. Call alcholism what you will, a disease, and moral breakdown, what ever. As a recovering alcholic i am appaled by his remark and wonder if he was drinking when he said it. We strive not to drink, not to use, to be honest, to be a friend a friend would like to have, better our life, better out family, better our community, all by being clean and sober. And a statement like that totally demoralises who we are and what we are today. 50 years ago people looked at an alcholic as someone who was beyond help. Today we look at them as someone who can have a chance to turn there life around and become a productive member of todays society. Recovering alcholics and addicts are some of the most productive members in society and the work force. (trust me, I know alot of them). I made alot of mistakes and lost alot to alcholism (two marriges to start off with and my drivers licence for 10 years) but i have taken the steps to turn things around and get back to good. David, to me, use the "recovering Alcholic" card to get a sympthoy vote. Rehab is for people who need help and want to turn there life around, but latelly it seams to be a safe haven for the rich and famous. Britney, Lohan, An d now "the Hoff" will join the group. He''l probley be on Larry King live tonight or something tonight vowing he'll turn his life around. Either that or a bigger star will feel left out now that David is getting all this attention and do something to top him...(cue Britney Spears.........)

I was wrong
TV doesn't suck. Atleast for the 4 minutes and 32 seconds Blake Lewis was on American Idol last night. I came in the house last night from working out and was walking threw the living room. I looked at the TV and saw Paula, Randy and Simon. Bon Jovi was the guest "mentor" for the evening and growing up in the 80's i was a little interested in watching. Brought back fond memories of the big hair band days and actually gettiong layed in the pack seat of a car. (cars were big enough back then to have sex in.) His performance of "you give love a bad name" was AWESOME.... I already watched i again on www.youtube.com (There's a new sheffir in town, and his name is Blake Lewis) I cant' beleive i'm this giddy over one performence (and by a guy!). I have seen bits and peices of his other performance's. The only other one i like this much was in the beginning when he did " all messed up" by 311. Doughtry had the "other it" factor last year and Blake took a strangle hold on it last night. The "other it" factor is the fact these people will never be normal singers. Daughtry had the bald head, Ronnie James Dio voice, and the hot older wife, and turned evey song he sang into a rock tune. Blake got the Tat's, Beatbox, and the F-IT attutude, and quite frankly, i beleive he's plowing Paula every chance he gets.
Then when i turned the channel
I got to see papelbon blow a two run lead in the 9th. (Yankee fans are screamong right now, SEE I TOLD YOU HE SUCKED!). 1st blown save of the year and no one is redsox nation is on panic mode (yet).
Meanwhile the Yankee's got 6-1/3 out of Hughes (who was outstanding) before he tweeked his hammy. Did not see the back page on the NY Post today but i can only imagine what they had to say.
And out on the west coast my Mariners are stuck in the middle. Not doing too bad, but certianially not putting upi the numbers they should. I have decided that all the unpires have give Richie Sexton a 6ft strike zone. (Same thing happen to Jordan when he tried playing baseball).
NASCAR
14 fans were banned for like from Talladega, but, and FOX reported, that does not mean a 3rd party can't buy the tickets. WHAT? They warned you at the beginning of the race that if you were cought the penelties would harsh, but only if you don't have any freinds?
There is an Eagles fan somewhere screaming "WHAT KIND OF SHIT IS THIS?". A few years ago (mabey more) a bunch of Eagles fans got banned for life from the stadium for throwing batteries (at the Giants i beleive) and the stadium put there pictures up at the front gates for a few years after that. NASCAR should do the same thing. But this time use the internet like america's most wanted does. Letting these people back at the track would be like letting Pacman back in the NFL is he wears a diffrent number. Grow some balls and stick to your guns.
Speaking of the NFL
Reports are that Tom Brady has restructured his contract so that the pats could sign Moss. Keyshawn is looking for a job as well. Do we have room for another posession receive with goos hands and a big mouth? Everyone already has the Pats penciled in for the superbowl if they sign Keyshawn you can pretty much confirm your reservations.
NHL
The rangers came into the garden with a 2-0 lead in the series. The Sabers have now evened the series in there house. Not looking good. Are you hands tightening around your own neck?
NBA
Dallas may have won last night but there done. Remeber, Jessica Alba is Golden state's #1 fan. Dirk loves David Hasselhoff music. No contest...........

T.V. Sucks
I do not watch alot of T.V. I am basically resigned to watching sports and "HERO"S". Alittle ultimate fighting and an occasional espisode of Bull Run. My problem with t.v. is everytime you turn around your seeing the same shit over and over again.
C.S.I. has what? 4 of them? Miami, Vegas, NYC and the military one with the teacher from the
"summer school" movie.
We have a ton of hospital shows. E.R. , Grey's body parts, and a bunch of other chick shows.
The we get into reality T.V.
My girlfriend watches this show where this military doctor is banging like 20 women until he finds his "true love". Nice. Who thought up that shit up. Ron Jeremy and the dude from Grey anatomy? If i wanted that i'll watch showtime after 11pm on weekends.
Which brings me to my point. Guys like sports, porno and fighting. Period. (unless your gay. Then we made the Travel Channel for you).
The Red Wings and San Jose game. I case you missed it. A hockey game broke out last night between all the hitting and the body checks. Nabokov - 29 saves. (best nickname for an arena in sports "the shark tank")
Emery shuts down the Devils last night and now Ottowa leads the series 2 to 1
Is any body but me watching hockey?
NBA
The only series remotely entertaining is the Golden State series. The Mavs are done. They already pointing fingers at one another and bitching back a forth. There a bad rotation away from being the Yankee's. And again, Jessica Alba is golden state's #1 fan.
MLB
I am not saying the Cardnials mailed in the game last night, but how could you be expected to play less than 48 hours after one of you teammate died? They should have postponed the game for alteast one more day.
Tim Hudson (atlanta) is on a roll. Looks like the braves are back everyone. The Mets know. They've been swaping 1st place back and forth for the last three weeks. Let me make a few points on Tim Hudson. #1 - He's not that good. He a quality pitcher, does not throw alot of "junk" pitches. Goes late into games. (you listening New York?) Which would you rather have? A pitched who goes 5 innings and throw 100 pitches or one who goes 7-8 innings and throw 110 pitches per start? (I'm Timmmmmyyyyy!!!!!)
Gary Sheffield is back , and he's pissed. An angry, pissed Shef on the tigers is better than any ball player alive. Think his swing was voilent in Altanta, New York, and with the local call girl, just watch him now. He swings at the ball with "very bad intensions". If you missed the highlites of last nights game i am sure you can see them on www.espn.com
NFL
Elisabeth Hasselbeck is pregnant. I guess Matt finally "got the ball and scored". (The other obvious joke is "Is it Rosie's?)
Big Shot Rob.
Does it again last night. There is probley a post on espn or www.youtube.com by now.
