Twinkies: Round 2


Ah, it is pretty goddamn hard to get excited about the Crew (29-40) taking on the Twinkies (40-29). I'm not going to lie. Getting one would be a victory. I'm going via drunk bus on Saturday. Fun will be had by all.


Onto more fun things: June 17, 1994, the 30 for 30 movie, was fucking awesome. I had forgotten how insane it was. I do remember where I was watching that NBA Finals game (parent's basement, undoubtedly dreaming up this shitty blog that I would be writing 16 years later, even though the internets hadn't been invented in rural Northeast Wisconsin yet). I don't remember people SPRINTING down the streets of L.A. following the Bronco and the police. It was insane. And then crowding around the Brentwood Estate. All while it was known that O.J. had a gun and was threatening suicide (which I also didn't remember, or did I remember Kardashian reading the suicide note on live T.V.) and there were about 1,000 police officers with guns too. The GUY WAS ACCUSED OF DOUBLE HOMICIDE!!! And people were cheering and crowding a (low speed) chase. Watching again was the craziest thing ever. As with all the 30 for 30 (greatest thing ESPN has ever done), I highly, highly recommend it.


-Went to a bar in rural Northeast Wisconsin for a surprise birthday party. I was designated driver (which sucks). A random dude with a sleeveless t-shirt on walked INTO the bar with an open can of beer. Also, I got hit with a sandwich from about 25 feet away. I was not happy. Or drunk.


-The U.S. Open was kind of entertaining yesterday. I like watching pros suck balls (which looks a lot funnier than I meant it to be).

Another unoriginal post - Border war III

GET DOWN!!!

This weekend brings another exciting edition of Twins-Brewers, taking place at the giant garbage pit in downtown Minneapolis (aka The Metrodome). Here are my predictions:


Game 1: McClung v. Blackburn - This one has the makings of a 13-12 type of score to it. Twins win in the 9th when Carlos Gomez steals home.



Game 2: Parra v. Hernandez - Hernandez will have another one of those outstanding 15 hit, 1 run outings. I have never heard of Parra, but I'm impressed he is 7-2? Is he one of those guys who started out in the bullpen and picked up a couple of lucky wins in relief so Yost just says "Screw it, let's move him into the rotation." Twins win 6-3.



Game 3: Mr. soon to be coveted free agent v. Slowey (who?). This has the feel to one of those games where the Twins have recently crawled back into first place and you start to feel confident, only to see them get absolutely dominated and realize "there is no way in hell we are making the playoffs, and if we do, we will get dominated with pitchers like Kevin Slowey." Brewers win

7-0 including twoPrince Fielder homes (one inside the park homer when Gomez slides and allows a fly ball past him.)



P.S. I predict Juice takes at least 8 strokes on the 69 yard par 3 and says "fuck" at least 5 times.



P.P.S. O.J. Simpson was in fucking Fargo, ND of all places. And yes, people are here are soaking that shit up because they are crazy for something interesting to happen (that does NOT include me).
