Catch-Up

I've been slackin on my pimpin with the blog so I'll get you up to speed. The 48-hour extravaganza thrown by J-Mac, Scotty B, and Clutch was fun. We brought some corn on the cob (don't sleep on corn) and smashed on some grilled burgers. The fun continued as I had about 5 beers and a couple of bombs. Now...we play Home Run Derby on the PS2. I want to use Ryan Howard but I have to use David Ortiz instead. I advance to the finals despite my timing being thrown off but then I reach a developing situation...

THE WALL IN RIGHT FIELD OF AT&T PARK IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CLEAR REPEATEDLY.

There's no way a left hander was going to win the Home Run Derby. I hit 3 or 4 bombs that hit off the top of the wall 421 feet away. Meanwhile, I watch Manny Ramirez (a.k.a. Jeremy Lundblad) smash balls to left.

That brings us to the home run derby. I stand by my pick of no lefties so I go with Albert Pujols.
Unfortunately he fell 1 HR shy of advancing to the finals but he put on a good show. I did feel vindicated however as NO LEFTIES ADVANCED TO THE 2ND ROUND. That's right. NO MORNEAU, NO HOWARD, NO FIELDER. As for the Derby itself. I grade it a C+. It was pretty boring for the most part. Vlad put on a show, finally hitting 1 over 500 feet. But it was more of a blah contest; my corn on the cob was a lot more appealing.

Keep on the look out of some Disney World pics coming very soon.

My Chauncey jersey still lives!

The Pistons re-signed Chauncey Billups...finally. As you can see, the Pistons are NOT blowing this thing up like many people wanted. I also told people that Chauncey would not leave...here are the differences between him and Ben Wallace


Ben Wallace

Age: 32

Skill: Athleticism

Salary: 4-yr/$60M

Habits: Not coming back into games

Quotes: Ya'll know where my heart is, in my chest (later signs with Bulls)

Result: Traitor



Chauncey Billups

Age: 30

Skill: Can actually make shots

Salary: 5-year/$60.5M

Habits: Making big shots

Quotes: I want to stay in Detroit

Result: Face of franchise


In other words. Ben Wallace is a sellout and I'm glad he's gone. The Pistons will still be competitive without you. The Pistons would've been a very mediocre team without Chauncey. I hope you retire a Piston Mr. Billups.
