HAPPY FATHER'S DAY EVERYONE
Hope you're enjoying your weekend. Do yourself a favor and give your Dad an extra hug today - or a handshake. If your relationship with your dad is similar to mine, a simple ice cold bottle of Bud Select and "Happy Father's Day" offering should do the trick.
DEAR NEWSCHANNEL 5
Take your severe thunderstorm warning and shove it up your ass.
I am so sick of being forcefed KSDK's warnings during a sporting event. If viewers can't figure out there is severe weather outside the location of their television viewing experience, they deserve to get struck by lightning or blown away by a tornado. Quit trying to overshadow everything. You suck out loud.
DEAR MIKE MATHENY, DEREK LILLIQUIST AND FRIENDS
Overall, I still really like the approach you guys have with the management of the team. HOWEVAH ... there is no need to remove Eduardo Sanchez from the game after facing one batter in the 7th inning. Also, tell Marc Rzepczynski to stop serving up beach balls, as a wise man has described. Finally, stop with the defensive shifts. Had it not been for Tyler Greene's fielding error followed by Eric Hosmer's single (due to the constant shifting), Joe Kelly (AKA Cody Rhodes) would have earned his first win. Thanks.
FATHER'S DAY BONANZA
From the Alou's to the Griffey's and Hull's and the Bonds' ... the top Father/Son duos in sports.
Another list that has a few different entrants.
The worst father/son duos in MLB history. #1 perplexes me.
Rad Dads in honor of the X-Games and in honor of ESPN's obsession with promoting itself. Unfortunately, there is no reference to Cru Jones from the film Rad.
OTHER THINGS
Washington Nationals fans/bloggers/writers have an appreciation for Rick Ankiel.
Just in case you missed it while the White Sox were in town: everyone hates AJ Pierzynski.
Who does Rams head coach Jeff Fisher compare Chris Long to?
Here's what Steven Jackson has to say to rookie WR Brian Quick: "He's a big target, but he has a little ways to go," Jackson said. "What I mean by that is he's coming from Appalachian State. Nothing against it, but it's a (big) difference. It's a difference coming on this field and it's a difference having the mentality of a pro."
To all of you who daydream: it is beneficial.
The Guiness QR Cup: me likes.
