Wyclef Jean just released the Fugee remix of his song Fast Car and it’s got Lupe Fiasco, too! I like it a lot. Definitely deserves a listen.
I saw the craziest thing today when I was driving to work: some guy driving a pickup truck had headphones on. Headphones! While he was driving! Just boggles the mind that we have people that stupid living and doing federally-approved activities in this country.
In other news, the Sox won tonight. They beat the Astros 6-1. Drew had a real nice shot at a crucial point. Dice looked good even he only went five. Then Hansen, Delcarmen, Oki, and Papelbon came in and shut the door. I realized tonight it just really isn’t fair when you can essentially end a baseball game in the fifth inning if you have a lead.
Tonight was also the second time in a row that Papelbon saved a game with a five run lead. The rule regarding saves is that there must be at most a three run lead or the tying run must be on deck. Last game, the bases were loaded and, therefore, the guy in the on-deck circle was the difference maker. But Papelbon did his job. Tonight he entered with a three run lead and two outs in the eighth. We scored two in the top of the ninth to make it a five run margin but Papelbon entered while it was still a save.
In other news, the NBA Draft proved again that drafts are interesting but obsessively over-covered. Hearing Andy Katz (or one of the other planks up there) declare that, “Derrick Rose is going. To. Chicago.” made me wonderwhat talking to him about taxes must be like. I mean, he’s supposed to love basketball.
Brooke Lopez was also in free-fall mode. Russel Westbrook made out like a bandit. And Portland is looking like a dynasty in the making.
And I’ll predict it now: Beasley will win Rookie of the Year solely because of his offensive stats and Miami’s turnaround next year while playing near-league-worst defense in the weaker conference. And he’ll get arrested at least three times before his first contract is up.
Either that or he’ll get traded to Seattle (because evidently Durant <3’s him) or Portland (just because nothing can go wrong there).
