I'm waiting for an American Idol contestant to cover Patti Smith's version of "Gloria."
I wish there was a MLB team dumb enough to trade for David Wells, because I want him off the Sox. I know he's a "quality" left-hander, but he's also a loud-mouth guy in probably his last year, who obviously doesn't want to be here and could give a crap about this team. Let's see? Did I miss anything? Oh, yeah. He's got a bum knee. The way his contract is set up, he can't afford to miss any starts. So he'll go out every five days and pitch kinda good against crappy teams, kinda OK against good teams, and get shelled four or five times out. But he'll be more notable for the stupid stuff he say. Already this spring he's slammed Bud Selig and Francona, and there are still two weeks before the season even starts. Does the team need this sideshow for another year? I don't think so.
Even though I am an American and can't even really think about not living in America, I still get a little jolt of satisfaction when USA gets eliminated in international competition (basketball, hockey, and now, WBC). It's the same as when a high seed gets offed in the NCAA tourament.
The Gretzky gambling thing would be huge if anyone cared about hockey.
I thought I only dreamt that Grady Little was the manager of the Dodgers. And he's got Nomar to boot.
Speaking of which, has any athlete fallen off the radar faster than Ramon-spelled-backwards? I mean, jeez, wasn't he on a straight-line trajectory to Cooperstown?
Does Tom Menino really think that people aren't dying to leave Boston? Let's see....rediculous taxes, rising prices, rising crime, junkies everywhere and terrible police? I don't live in Boston, but it's clear to me that the city and the Commonwealth are failing everyone who isn't a millionaire living at the Ritz Towers. The powers-that-be seem to think we should be grateful to live in the reflected glory of the Big Schools, but even a cursory look outside MA reveals big-time quality-of-life bargains and with the savings I'll buy NESN on the dish and listen to EEI on-line.
