Pickoff Moves
A Curse On You, Red Sox: Red Sox 2, Rockies 1
The Red Sox have been involved in two of the dullest World Series of recent memory, including this one; once Jason Varitek hit a sac fly to center to just tie affairs, you just knew this game was over, because Ubaldo Jimenez was getting less and less effective as time wore on, while Schilling was just getting better. I mean, seriously, the Rocks got their only run without the benefit of a hit (on Todd Helton's scoring groundout)? Ugh. If there's not enough reason to crown the Red Sox as the new Yankees, I don't know what would be.Well, who knows. If one good thing comes out of this series (assuming a sweep, which I think all but inevitable) maybe it won't be having to listen to Curt Schilling prattle on about his bloody sock in a Red Sox uniform anymore.
OT: Speaking Of Things You Didn't Want To See: Slut Day
I'm not a big Joel Stein fan, but this is hilarious.That's why, after much research and consultation, I have founded our nation's newest holiday: Slut Day.It will take place the first Saturday of every August, a time both barren of holidays and plenty hot enough for really degrading costumes. Slut Day festivities include costume parties with themed drinks such as the Lindsay Lohan (just whatever in a giant glass) and, if possible, flat-screen TVs showing the latest celebrity sex tapes and select parts of "Meerkat Manor." Or anything else. Flat-screen TVs are just sexy.
In addition to fixing the Halloween problem, Slut Day also can replace the "Pimps N Hos" parties scattered across the calendar, which are racist and sexist, with an event that is only sexist. That's a 50% reduction in offensiveness.
OT: Total Loss
Uncle Jim's house finally showed up today among those listed in the total losses, but we knew yesterday from one of the people who stayed behind to fight the fire themselves rather than evacuate. Jim and his wife are okay (they were in downtown San Diego at the time), but ouch. That remodel is going to be a bit more expensive than they had planned for.Bringing this back to baseball, the Dodgers are sponsoring a fire relief effort at the Elysian Park gate from 5:00 AM (!!) to 11 PM tonight.
Dodgers At The Coliseum, Maybe
The Dodgers might play an exhibition game at the Coliseum next year. The Freeway Series will consist of only one game next year, so they've got lots of openings. Heck, I'd pay to see that, and given the huge number of seats available, tickets would be plentiful.Wonder Which Presidential Candidates Arte And Frank Donated Money To?
Wonder no more. Arte Moreno and his wife sent $4,600 each to neofascist Rudy "9/11! 9/11! 9/11!" Giuliani, while Frank and Jamie McCourt sent $2,300 each to Hillary "I'm Not Bill, Unless You Want Me To Be" Clinton. Giuliani is the huge favorite for baseball owner dollars, netting $78,000 total. Giuliani is a vile, vile man, and I find it appalling the owners are giving him such money. I have to say I like Arte as an owner, but his political leanings are scary (has anybody listened to the talk radio garbage that plays on 830 AM these days?).Labels: angels, dodgers, offtopic, postseason, recaps, red sox, rockies
