Who can't love this video of Troy Pola-however-you-spell-it (just kidding, it's Polamalu) pretending to be a wax figure? Great theater! Also, the White Sox hired Robin Ventura as their manager. He was a fine enough player, but I never imagined him back in the dugout. Besides, do you really want your manager to be most famous for getting taken to task by a 40-year-old Nolan Ryan? I mean, really, this was the third image result for Robin Ventura. I didn't even have to add Ryan to the search! And a hearty congratulations to the Tigers for taking out the Yankees. I'm very pleased to be wrong. I don't really understand what Girardi was thinking when he had CC Sabathia walk Miguel Cabrera to get to Victor Martinez. Sure, Miggy won the AL batting title and all, but V-Mart was CC's catcher for a pretty long time. He knows exactly what CC has and likes to do. And what happened? Well, thanks to the wonder of the internet, I don't have to tell you. Just click here. I would embed it, but you know, MLB isn't really forward thinking like that. I can embed Joaquin Benoit being forced to take off a bandage covering a pretty painful looking boil or something. It's the NL's turn tonight. I have to say, I'm an unabashed homer. I'm definitely pulling for the Central teams. I'll be a little sad if the first All-Central NLCS isn't Cubs-Cards, but I'm okay with my NL Pennant Winner Brewers moving on and seeing Philly and the insufferable fans (and media attention) getting knocked out early like the Yankees. Brew Crew starts at five today. I'm sure I'll be paying attention during my last hour at work before I'm released to the weekend.
In other sporting news before I go: the Blackhawks kick off tonight in Dallas. Then they bring Dallas back to Chicago to play tomorrow. I'm predicting a 2-0 start for the 'Hawks. Purdue starts B1G play tomorrow against Minnesota (I think we're going), which I also think they will win. Wabash hosts Washington,* which I'm also saying 'Bash wins. We played awful against Washington last year, we'll be looking for some vengeance this year. *That's the Washington Bears out of St. Louis, where they hold presidential debates. Not the Washington Huskies from the west coast. Shaping up to be a great sports weekend. I intend on soaking it up. Comments are closed.
