You’re the real thing. Yeah, the real thing. You’re the real thing. Even better than the real thing. -U2
Public Service Announcement: Rookie rookie, who gets the cookie? I’m gonna ask you a simple question and I want you to listen to me. Who’s the big winner here tonight at the casino? Huh? Buster, that’s who. Buster’s the big winner. Buster wins. Buster won last night. Last night, Gerald “Buster” Demp Posey III, the pride of Leesburg Georgia, opened the scoring with an RBI-single in the first inning of the Giants’ 3-0 win over the Diamondbacks. Hooray Giants! Hooray Gerald “Buster” Demp Posey III! Read More »

When the dog bites, when the bee stings, when I’m feeling sad, I simply remember my favorite things and then I don’t feel…so bad. -Sound of Music
Public Service Announcement: I love baseball as much as the next guy. Probably moreso. But in these dog days of summer, I sure do miss football. First a disclaimer. I am in no way, shape or form stating that these five cats are the five best running backs of all time. OK? Got it? In no way, shape or form. I am just saying these are the five cats I enjoyed watching running the rock the most. Are we clear here? Good. Now let’s get to this. Like we always knew this. Like my main man Marvin Lewis. You know you can’t resist. All the way from Bankok to Budapest. Dropping science like a nuclear physicist. My five very favoritest. Read More »

Everybody got gangs. Everybody got clicks. But they ain’t like this. The Infamous. -Mobb Deep
Public Service Announcement: Roll out the barrel. We’ll have a barrel of fun. Roll out the barrel. We’ve got the blues on the run. These days the Brewers are the ones on the run. Ex-Milwaukee Brewer Manager Dave Bristol once said: “There’ll be two buses leaving the hotel for the park tomorrow. The two o’clock bus will be for those of you who need a little extra work. The empty bus will leave at five o’clock.” The way Milwaukee’s pitchers have been throwing lately, Ken Macha might want to have even another bus leaving a little bit earlier. Read More »

Back to life, back to reality. Back to life, back to the here and now. Yeah. Show me how, decide what you want from me. -Soul II Soul
Public Service Announcement: Jimmy Johnson won two Super Bowls with the Dallas Cowboys. Jimmy Johnson won a National Championship at The U. Now, Jimmy Johnson has another prize in mind. Now, Jimmy Johnson is going for the ever elusive Immunity Idol. That’s right folks, one of the most decorated football coaches of all time is going on Survivor. In honor of this monumentous occassion, I’ve decided to share with you, my dear readers, some other monumentous occassions. I’ve decided to share with you, my dear readers, some of the best Athlete/Reality appearances ever. Spolier Alert: I know Erik Estrada is not an athlete, but it was just to good to resist.

‘Cos you’re the joke of the neighborhood. Why should you care if you’re feeling good? Take the long way home. Take the long way home. -Supertramp
Public Service Announcement: Before we get rolling here, let’s make one thing perfectly clear. The Pittsburgh Pirates stink. Their string of losing seasons will be 15 if this one keeps on keepin’ on, and that will be just one shy of the sport’s all-time record of 16 set by the 1933-48 Philadelphia Phillies. However, last night, rookie Pedro Alvarez hit two bombss, including his first career granny, as the Buccos scored nine times in the first inning and held on to edge the Milwaukee Brewers, 11-9, in the second of a four-game set at PNC Park.

The stars at night, are big and bright, deep in the heart of Texas. The prairie sky is wide and high, deep in the heart of Texas.
Public Service Announcement: The Dallas Morning News has just reported (Which I think is odd. It’s the afternoon already. Late afternoon at that.) that “Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban was named as being an undisclosed but prospective bidder for the Texas Rangers.” If I’m a Rangers fan, I love this. I’m jumping for joy about this. I’m like XTC about this: “Happy. I’m floating around on my feet now. You make me go dizzy. I’m weak at the knees now. I feel like I’m walking around ten feet tall.” Read More »
