DYK:
-that Pedro Martinez will be pitching yet another big game in Yankee Stadium in game 6 of the World Series. I'm a big time Pedro fan. He's definitely lost some of his nastiness over the past couple of years, but I still love him. In my opinion he's the best pitcher to take the mound during my lifetime. There are others who have a good argument and there are others who dominated for a longer period of time. However, nobody dominated like Pedro did during his peak years. He struck fear into every team he faced. What makes it even better is that he is about Kendall's size. I loved watching him in his prime, and I still hold out hope that he can deliver one more magical night in NYC in game 6. I don't even like the Phillies. I just like Pedro. He even had his own midget at one time. Remember when Boston was on their World Series run and Pedro always had that midget hanging out with him in the locker room and at press conferences? At that point in my life I had never thought of it, but I quickly realized that you haven't really made it until you have your own midget.
-that Tim Lincecum is the closest thing to the young version of Pedro in today's game. Even Pedro said so after Lincecum faced the Phillies late this season. Lincecum has several of the same qualities as a young Pedro. In fact, Pedro said that Lincecum is better than he was at the same age, significantly. Plus Lincecum is a little dorky guy. That makes me love his dominance even more. The only thing left is for Lincecum to get his own midget and assault Don Zimmer.
-that it's been 3 weeks since I hired "The Git" to write UK sports updates for the blog. He's all over it!!!!!!
-that Bunch is a good looking black guy
-that my fantasy football team, Porcinis After Hours, is undefeated in the Revolting Fantasy Football League. I think my luck is about to run out though. My best player isn't playing this week and I'm facing my long time nemesis Hop, and his skull crushers. The weird thing is that the team who has come closest to defeating the Porcinis machine is the last place team in the league, Team Dingleberries. Of course any team lead by Muddyfoot Harper is gonna give me fits.
-that somebody in my house has been sick every day for over a month. Maddie started us off right with her pig flu battle. Then Aubrey had her reflux episodes hit all time highs. Lately it's been Me, Jordan, and Aubrey all 3 with a stuffy head and sinus problems. Actually, if I'm counting Aubrey's reflux in this it's been 3 months. The poor thing has battled it since birth. She is on a couple of medicines now that have helped tremendously. As soon as the medicines starting helping her reflux, she got the head congestion junk. She can't catch a break. She's got a cool dad though, so she's always had that going for her.
-that Ho Huff is an aspiring tri-athlete. Is that what they call people who participate in triathlons?
-that Maddie was Lola for Halloween. That's Miley's best friend Lilly's alter ego on Hannah Montana. Aubrey was a wiggle worm. Abe was Captain America. I once knew a legendary Captain. His name was similar. You just have to drop the merica. Now that Captain could definitely deliver the shots!!!!!!
-that new blog writer Brian Bullock has always loved to tell his Mulkey story to anyone who would listen. Nobody appreciates the history of wrestling more than the man they call Bob Gas.
-that writing about Captain's and wrestling makes me remember that we lost Captain Lou a few weeks back. He was a classic, and one of my all time favorite managers. He made the "rubber band in the gelt look" famous.
-that I get mad when people from other states talk down on the intelligence of Kentuckians. We have some very intelligent folks from our state. However, there was a guy on catspause.com a few weeks back who doesn't fit into this category. First let me tell you that Mcdonald's sponsors a UK basketball team poster each season, which you can pick up at Mcdonalds. Makes sense doesn't it? This guy started a discussion on the message board asking where he could get one of the Mcdonalds UK posters. There were some pretty good responses.
-that this old dude went into a bar one time and found a good looking woman sitting alone. He asked her "would you have sex with me for $1,ooo,ooo?". The woman said, "of course". He then asked if she would do it for $20. The woman got angry and said, "Hell no, do you think I'm some kind of whore?". The old dude calmly said, "maam we've already established what you are, now we're just haggling over the price".
Have a nice day!!!!!!! Cheer on the Cats Friday night as they battle the mighty Clarion Caliparis. It's the John Wall debut!!!!!! Hopefully they will look better. If you can't catch the game, check out the blog Saturday for Kendall's recap. I'm sure it will be interesting. Actually I'm sure it won't exist, but you can always stare at your computer and dream.
