Vhat to do, Vhat to do
I decided not to start Moose today, despite being dared to do so. I think he ended up getting a win, but it wasn't a great outing, so no big deal. The fans of Taipei are on the edge of their seats with the possibility of their first Dizudo League Championship alive with a month left in the season. Now if only those pesky Kansas Whiteys would go away.
I was a little puzzled by the White Sox decision to start Neil Cotts today. Apparently, the plan was to start Buerhle, if they lost last night. Now, I know the goal is to "win series", and it's nice that they locked that up already, but if your good pitcher is ready, why not put him out? Hindsight is 20/20, but you ended up sending a rookie out to get shelled by one of the best teams in the major leagues. That can't be good for his confidence, which means a lot to a young pitcher. Not to mention, I'm pretty sure Buerhle wouldn't have given up 5 runs in the 1st inning, and had he been out there, we might be looking at a Sox sweep of the Skankees in New York. Maybe they just respect Detroit so much more, knowing that we have gotten hardcore owned by the Tigers this year. So it could be that Jerry Manuel is saving his best guys to be geared up for this upcoming series. Hmmm....
Something that sucks - It's possible I will have to come in to work for part of the day on Saturday. Not sure yet, but that would kind of negate Labor Day for me. SWEET
If one of my coworkers didn't mention it today, I wouldn't have known that tonight was the MTV Video Music Awards. I guess I haven't been paying attention to the commercials. The VMA's used to hold a special place in my heart, especially because of Britney. But now I don't seem to be as interested in that stuff. I'm not really a big fan of any of today's hot stars. I didn't even know who Hillary Duff was until very recently, and now she is everywhere. Still, I think I will try to catch some of the show tonight, mostly because Chras Rock is hosting, and I consider him to be one of the funniest people ever.
Speaking of which, a couple days ago I was going through my old files on my computer and I ended up watching a bunch of the videos I used to download. One of which was "No Sex In The Champagne Room" by Chris Rock, his parody of that one video, "Wear Sunscreen". My favorite line is "Why spend the next 20 years in jail because somebody smudged your Puma?"
