Frozen Four is tonight, I'm going with Wisconsin and Miami...and it's on ESPN! 'Bout damn time.
Rarely do I agree with any official, but Joe West, feel free to starting calling balls and strikes if guys want to delay the game of baseball....maybe that will get them to stop adjusting and fidgeting. Is anyone else curious is someone with OCD freaks out watching a baseball game?
Fine, it's just me then.
Oh, and to Red Sox fans....breathe, damn it! It was the beginning of the season. It's 3 games against the biggest payroll in the game. Relax. There is no need to freak out-as I'm sure is happening on talk radio right now. Allow me to sum up the 3 games:
Game 1-Beckett can't hit his spots, the offense comes back, NYY bullpen sucks.
Game 2-Too many walks to the NYY offense equals bad night. And an error, for shame. It happens, not the end of the world.Game 3-Youk gets hit, and in the next inning, newcomer John Lackey earns his new teammates trust by hitting Jeter in the arm, right where he was supposed to. Game went into extra innings, and Papelbon gave up a solo HR. And?What, that Big Papi can't hit right now? That he's starting off slow? 3 games, 1 RBI. The only thing I will concede on this is the bat speed. It is slowing down. Bound to happen once a player gets to a certain age and at bats. Just try and remember those numbers from 2003-2007, and clam up and see what happens by the end of the month. Hell, wait until tax day before jumping off the bandwagon.This means nothing. I really am not thrilled that MLB couldn't give us a week of buildup before this crap started, but they are whores to the almighty dollar, so that's what we get.
Last thing about baseball for today, I think we're all hoping this kid Jason Heyward isn't too good to be true. Who knows, maybe people in Atlanta will go to a baseball game this summer instead of dressing up like empty seats. Hope I'm not reaching on that one...
Did anyone else see this new Tiger Woods commercial? You stay classy, Eldrick. Here's hoping your old man whoops your ass in another lifetime-for simply allowing Nike to use a dead man's voice to make you seem like less of a sleazebag. I really don't care that he cheated on his wife, that's between them, but I'm tired of the corporate shills and the massive PR firms trying to plate this man back as the platinum standard when he just wants to bang whores and cheat on his wife. That's his deal. Thank goodness I don't idolize athletes anymore, or else I'd be really let down. Glad I kept my head buried in the sand.
And lastly, speaking of class, welcome back LT2!!
did you forget that? I didn't! It's an edict for life, if someone says that they are something, chances are they are exactly the opposite of what they are claiming to be. How many times have you heard a woman say she isn't easy? Or a guy say he isn't a pig? What happens? LaDanian, after the above outburst, got blasted by Deion Sanders:
and that allowed this to happen:

And now he's decided to put his former team on blast. He's now blaming he play calling? What freaking planet is this guy on? Classy, really screams class here. Classy players don't put down their former employers after they give a guy a fat contract and more red zone carries than are warranted. KC Joyner already did the math. Want more? Here it is, from Football Outsiders:
"Although San Diego had a historically great passing offense that led the league in DVOA, their -11.2% DVOA when running the ball was dead last. They were the worst team in the league running in short-yardage power situations, 31st in second-level yards, and again worst in open field yards. (An explanation of those statistics can be found here.) They barely combined to run for 1,000 yards as a unit."
LT2, I mean this with the utmost in sincerity-I'm soooooo glad you're now a New York Jet. Watching you bitch on the sideline while sitting behind a guy that punked you in the playoffs last year is going to be hilarious. Oh, and why did you say nothing about the Jets mocking your move, but the Patriots are classless?
Happy Thursday

Sadly, Badgers won - and I mean WON. Looks like Ia m clearing for BC on Saturday.
How about the UND/Fighting Sioux ruling? Crazy stuff!
