BLEED IN YOUR OWN LIGHT
Way to go, Roger!
A few notes on tonight's All-Star Game, which after the 1st inning was a snoozefest.
---I'm sick and tired of "American Idol". It's Texas, where is Jessica Simpson? Yes, she's annoying as hell. Nick Lachey will probably get out of dodge before too long. But do I need to explain why she would be better than Fantasia, Macy Gray's second cousin?
---Good god it's Mo Vaughn singing "God Bless America"!!!
---Rocket got rocked. Life is good.
---Joe Walsh would kick Ruben and Fantasia's ass.
---"Don Henley's gonna tell me how to vote. I don't f***ing think so, ok? I got two words for Don Henley, Joe F***ing Walsh, ok!? Thanks for calling, Don! How long's your pony tail now? Ok!" Denis Leary "No Cure For Cancer"
---OK, enough of the Joe Walsh references.
---Alfonso Soriano is good. God help Seattle if he stays in Texas. Soriano is a member of the exclusive Mariner Killer Alliance (alliance, club, whatever).
---Ron Belliard got to play in the game but Carlos Guillen didn't? Pathetic.
---Ex-Mariners 6, Current Mariners 1 (Guillen, Alex Rodriguez, David Ortiz, Ken Griffey, Jr., Randy Johnson, Armando Benitez)
---Yes, Benitez counts. So does Ortiz, who was a Mariner prospect. More on this later.
---But the All-Star Game doesn't.
---Houston is a horrible city. Of course, I've never been there. But what's so fun about a city with major traffic and massive humidity?
---Safeco Field > Minute Maid Park. I will not debate this.
---I did not see the David Ortiz home run in the 6th inning. A big fat thank you to the folks at my cable company, who shall remain nameless, for making me and a few folks miss the 5th through 7th innings.
---David Ortiz (Arias) for Dave Hollins. A forgotten fact about that deal is that Ortiz was a PTBNL. I have no problem putting this trade in my top 3 of Worst Mariner Trades.
---Jimy Williams will be fired on Wednesday. But the Astros are thinking about Phil Garner and Grady Little as possible replacements for Jimy? Yikes.
---Houston, get ready for Yao and Tracy.
---The All-Star Game is in Detroit next season. And the Super Bowl follows in February 2006. Simply stunning.
--- --- --- --- ---
Second half starts Thursday. It will end soon enough.
One more thing...
I want to strangle "Scooter".
