Again, I’ll try to keep this short because I have nothing to write about for the second day in a row, besides the fact that my teacher screwed up a test grade in the computer… she gave me a 76 when I really had a 94. Oh well, failure always tastes sweeter when it’s faked.
But anyway I realize the Miami Heat won Game 1 of the Finals by eight points. News flash: eight points is about thirty seconds of scoring in professional basketball. It means nothing besides the fact that LeBron will get even closer to a championship before it is snatched away from him by Dirk and the Mavericks… who by the way deserve it ten times more than the cheating Heat ever will. I hear all of you claiming that everything the Heat did was completely legal, and then I ask you if you remember that year the Patriots cheated to go undefeated and then got karma-tized by the Giants with a fourth-down Hail Mary. You all look at me as if I’m making it up. I realize how you’re all going to laugh at this, but sports has a component of destiny. the 07 Giants. The 08 Phillies. The 10 Packers. Underdogs win more often than favorites… that’s just how it works. And when Dirk comes out and scores 45 tomorrow night to steal away the home court you will all shake your heads and say “Wow, Chris was right.” Mavericks in seven. Take it or feel the pain of being wrong.
Now after that little sports eruption it’s time for another… specifically WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THE DAMN PHILLIES?! You guys were supposed to be good! I don’t care if you have one of the best records in the league, you lost a series to the NATIONALS! You scored ONE RUN against a pitcher who has NEVER WON against you before! The Big 4 aren’t looking so hot now, really the only one that hasn’t been disappointing to me is Hamels. Halladay is good five times out of six, but on that sixth it’s just bad. Something is off with Lee… he’s not the same pitcher who almost single-handedly won the World Series two years ago. And Oswalt, he hasn’t been up to snuff all season. Not to mention the subtle lack of any hitting whatsoever. Get rid of Ibañez, stick Dom Brown in left. He could use the time and he’s a better hitter and fielder anyway. And either get a good right fielder or throw Mayberry there more often… Francisco has been killing me all year. He’s a fourth outfielder. He’s a utility player. He’s NOT a starter. And as for everyone else… where are you Howard? Utley? Chooch? Come on Phillies, WAKE UP!
Alright I’m done. No really. Power’s gone. Depleted. So I’ll leave you with my song of the day… which is what I’ll be calling it now as the few people who read this blog seem to expect / enjoy them very much.
SONG OF THE DAY: THE STATIC AGE
This is one of my all-time favorites, second only to Lonesome Day (see Sunday). It’s so true, and yet manages to be an engaging song anyway. Green Day rocks. السلام
