Kali Speta my friends. Today marks the annual “thank god yesterday is finally over” chant, because we all know the day after the MLB All-Star is the worst sports day in the world. How did Nick the Greek spend his no-sports Wednesday night? Of course, I watched the ESPN replay of the homerun derby while taking a second spin with Richie’s HRD drinking game. Here is the verdict, you get just as wasted the second time, and I am still hearing the voice of Harry Caray loud and clear from the grave.
Ding: Speaking of the grave, that jackass David Wright is still dead to me. Let’s see he hits 4 homers in 4 games from June 7-10, then he hits 4 homers in the 26 games. All-Star my ass. I would take Aramis Rameriz over him any day (and you all know how much I love the Cubs).
Ding: I heard this discussion on the radio recently, and I hadn’t given much thought about it but is certainly deserves mention on this blog. What if Barry Bonds breaks the record at Wrigley, does the fan who catches the ball follow tradition and throw it back (and a definite six, if not seven, figure pay day)? If he (or she) doesn’t throw it back, will the Wrigley crowd give him (or her) a pass? or does a parade of beers get tossed on the offender? It is certainly possible that it will happen. Roidboy needs 4 homers and after hosting the Dodgers for 3 games starting today, the Giants invade the friendly confines for a 4 game set. Chances are Barry only plays 3 games given that two games are day games (the last two). Anyway, leave some comments, let me know what you think. Will it be thrown back or not? Discuss the merits.
Ding: In case you were wondering, I would keep the ball and sell it to the highest bidder.
Ding: Congrats to Triple Crown, Master-Batters and the Great Hambino for their award winning performances in the first half. Triple C, just so you know, last year’s first half winner didn’t keep the pace for the 2nd Half. I should know, it was yours truly.
Ding: Second Half prediction, First half punching bag, Komodos, will over taking one time first half leader El Guapos. “Whereever there is suffering…”
Ding: This week’s look at former girlfriends of the Cap’n, Derek Jeter features Miss Universe (and by default Miss India) 2000, Lara Dutta. She is not high on my list of lookers for Derek, but hey, even the Cap’n goes 1-5 some games.
Well that’s it for today. I hope you all hit a homer today and good luck in the second half. More Lara after the jump.
