Jake really held it down though. Love Shaq, Oregon is sick and I'd obvi be Wolverine is I could be an X-Men. Actually prolly Magneto cause I'd want to be a bad guy. Because of my absence yesterday, and my 9 hours in flight and in airports, I have a lot on my mind. For that, I will supply you with 2 posts today.
First, there is a lot of crazy stuff happening int he sports world, starting with Curt Schilling wanting to run for the late Ted Kennedy's seat in the Senate.
This is what he had to say:
"[Running] would be fun. The whole spotlight media crap, not so much," the former major league pitcher, who helped the Boston Red Sox win the World Series in 2004 and 2007, told Boston radio station WEEI on Thursday. "But [a run] would be a lot of fun because pretty much anybody that you're fighting against in office right now doesn't really have much of a leg to stand on right now.
"There's nobody you can go up against that you couldn't probably drag out a laundry list of stuff and say, 'Listen, this person's already proven that they're status quo, that they're business as usual, and we need anything but in every way shape and form moving forward."
Look at that pic. C'mon Curt, get outta hear with this. I know you sweat yourself and love politics, but A) you have zero experience outside of campaigning for George W., which is really just talking, B) this is the Senate we're talking about, there hasn't been a seat open in Mass. for like 15 years and C) you are a noted Republican, which clearly won't work in Mass.
-Another sports nugget I loved today was Jeff Jagodzinski getting fired as offensive coordinator of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers before the season starts. Jags, as most of you reading this far down in a sports post know, was the coach of BC football the past 2 years before a messy divorce this spring. The Jets wanted to interview Jags for their head coaching vacancy, but BC basically said we'll fire you if you do. Jags did anyway, got peaced by the Eagles and didn't get the job (it went to Rex Ryan). But then he hooked on with Tampa as an O Coordinator. Still better if you ask me. But now he's out of a job again with yet another dispute, this one "over coaches and players not agreeing with Jagodzinski's coaching philosophies and teaching methods."
LOL, slayta Jags. You must be a mega chooch.
-I'll leave you with this little gem. We all know that John Smoltz Pitching Machine has turned back into John Smoltz World Beater upon his return to the National League. Well now Brad Penny is up to same tricks. Penny had a sterling 7-8 record with a 5.61 ERA with the Red Sox. Numbers Jake could put up with his elbow dangling off. So Penny signs with the Giants and makes his debut last night against the defending world champion Philadelphia Phillies in Philly. This is the line he puts up:
8IP, 5H, 1BB, 2K, 0R
Are you kidding me? Zero friggin runs? If this doesn't cement the fact that the NL is the minor league of MLB than I don't know what does. Brad Penny throwing 8-inning shutouts against the best team they have to offer in said team's home park??? AL is winning it all this year.
