FRIDAY FLICKS
It's Friday. It's warm. It's humid. I'm fired up.
--- So Howard Lincoln is speaking to the media. Of course, it's Jim Street who's doing the interview. There's really nothing new from this piece, considering that Lincoln has used this same material for the last 4 seasons.
Ho hum.
--- What might have been if Eddie Guardado had been a Mariner before this season?
--- Carlos Guillen has to be the American League's starting shortstop in the All-Star Game. A few weeks ago, I would have said Miguel Tejada. But it's hard to ignore Guillen's numbers.
Unfortunately, it looks like Derek Jeter will be voted in instead. Just another example of how dumb the fans can be sometimes.
--- If the Tigers finish the 2004 season above .500 or near .500, Alan Trammell has to be the A.L. Manager of the Year. The Tigers are a nice story, folks.
--- I commented on Tuesday that I wouldn't be surprised to see Freddy Garcia in Detroit in 2005. But if he were to become a Tiger before the deadline, I sure as hell hope that the M's don't acquire Brandon Inge for him.
--- I'm afraid of what Bill Bavasi has in store for this ballclub.
--- Condolences go out to Utah Jazz head coach Jerry Sloan today. His wife, Bobbye, died today of cancer at the age of 61.
RIP, Mrs. Sloan.
--- "Dodgeball" is in theaters today. Unfortunately, the game of dodgeball is dying a slow, quick death. As far as I'm concerned, the kids of America should be allowed to play dodgeball. But in this age of political correctness, the game of dodgeball is being eliminated from school playgrounds. A damn shame, that's what that is.
--- The College World Series has officially begun.
As of the time I'm posting this (3:00 CDT), Georgia was leading Arizona 7-6 in the 4th inning.
To be on the good side of Arkansans who read Sports and Bremertonians (I'm not sure how many), I hope Arkansas wins the CWS. But watch out for South Carolina. The Gamecocks won the SEC, which features 4 teams in the CWS (Arkansas, Georgia, LSU, South Carolina). That's half of the 8 team field in Omaha.
Anybody but Texas.
--- A few musical selections for this weekend, i.e. music that should be cranked up.
Dropbox "Wishbone"
Lo-Pro "Sunday"
Jimmie's Chicken Shack "Falling Out"
