WELCOME TO THUNDERDOME!!!

Hey all, if you're reading this then chances are you know who I am. If not, and you made a wrong turn somewhere looking for goat on goat action, I'm Crazy. I developed that nickname in college basically because there wasnt really anything I wouldn't say or do, which made me look slightly psychotic at times. I'm gonna be co-blogging here with my hetero-lifemate Big on all the things we like to keep track of (sports, music, politics, tv, etc).
Before I get into the main part of this post, I gotta disagree with Big on his Joba view. I concur, starting pitching is essential to win, but in a regular season as long as baseball is, an offense like the Yankees have could carry them into the wild card even without a killer ace. The playoffs, however, are won and lost in the bullpen. In this era of starters going no more than 7 innings, without a reliable 8th and 9th inning guy, you're opening yourself up to a myriad of late inning collapses. Ask the rockies, who've gone through 3 closers this year. Or the Braves of the mid to late 90s, who i watched every year lose games to scrubs because Mike Remlinger couldnt get a late inning out. The goal is to shorten the game as much as possible. When Mariano retires, you had his heir apparent waiting like they had in 1996. Now they're making a huge gamble and all they might end up with is another Jeff Weaver.
The real meat of this post is a little something I'm gonna do now and again where I just go through whats going on in the world and through a bit of the ol' two cents in. Here we go

  • Why is everyone so interested if Lindsey Lohan's a lesbian? So what if she's trying to set the record for the person whose given the clap to the most people? If she is, she's gotta diversify her portfolio.
  • When Heroes comes back in September, they're going to be having a three hour premiere night. How am I supposed to make it through 3 hours when I can barely make it through 1 of Milo's "I'm channeling Keanu" looks
  • Ashley Simpson got married.... NEXT
  • Usher's about to release his next album, with lines describing how he's gonna deliver "it" like FedEx, his wife and child must be proud
  • Ellen Degeneres is tying the knot to Portia De Rossi, and she wants all these politicans at her wedding... Hey Ellen, save it for the show while you can dance and I can dance with you.
I'm out... later biatches

good old crazy, nice couple of talking points there at the end. i definitely agree with you about joba though, why mess with a good thing, especially when the offense hasn't been productive as of late. did you get usher's new album? i like it, not as good as confessions (i mean what is), but still a solid pickup for '08.

this blog could use a little bling too, kinda plain.
