Let’s begin this post by giving a well-deserved shoutout to Allie Seymour for asking if the 4th of July was a national holiday. It’s OK, she’s an engineer.
Madison was pretty dull on Sunday. Wish I were home to celebrate the birth of our great nation in The Ham.
What the hell is with this Red Sox lineup? I worked for NESN for Christ’s sake and I don’t know anyone batting after Beltre. It will be a miracle if they can stay within five games of the Rays and Yankees with the entire squad limping around the clubhouse as they trot this JV team between the lines every night. Thank god for the All-Star break.
Speaking of baseball, the Stephen Strasburg All-Star game debate needs to be settled. So I’ll do it. Of course if you ask the players, they’ll say he doesn’t deserve to be voted in after making just six starts. Of course there are players more deserving of him. But baseball, as you should have learned over the past decade, is a business through and through. And what will entice the most eyeballs toward the Midsummer Classic, you ask? Strasburg pitching to A-Rod, Ichiro, Jeter and the like. He doesn’t deserve it over, say San Diego’s Matt Latos, but shit, this is entertainment and at the end of the day, it’s all about marketing and revenue. So Bud, once again, you’re an idiot (not the first time I’ve called out Selig in an article, by the way). Let the fans vote for Strasburg, and watch the ratings/buzz go through the roof after he strikes out the side against the AL’s best. It’s a no brainer. Unless of course you have no brain…
If LeBron goes back to Cleveland I may just boycott the NBA for a few years. But boy would it be funny for the Knicks and Bulls to both get screwed. Until ‘Melo’s on the market, that is.
Who would be dumber, Selig for not promoting Strasburg in the All-Star game, or David Stern for letting LeBron go back to the state of Ohio? And these are supposed to be business people?
If Bosh, Dirk and Amare are all spoken for, who’s going to play with LeBron anyway, David Lee? What a disaster. OK, enough about the NBA.
If you don’t have a Groupon account for your current city, get one; it’s pretty legit and saves you money on pretty much everything you’d want to do. And no, I’m not getting paid to promote the company.
Just locked up an apartment in Lincoln Park, Ill. (pending our application; keep your fingers crossed) and a flight/hotel to Portillo, Chile in one morning. All while “working.” What a day!
Back to Framingham in a week. Getting pretty sick of Madison, to be honest. Boy I’m going to regret that statement.
