Well, I'm not sure why I signed up to write a blog if I'm not writing anything. But here goes. . .

Why did ESPN promote "The Bronx is Burning" so heavily and then run it the same night as the Home Run Derby? I wanted to watch it a little after reading the reviews, but when I turned it on all I saw was Vladimir Guerrero smiling: he must have known the viewer was getting screwed. But whatever. I'll probably watch it at some point to see if John Turturro can pull off Billy Martin. I have my doubts, being that Turturro seems like a foot taller than Martin, but maybe he's kneeling.

Too bad the Phillies can't find a pitching staff or else they might make some noise this year. Chase Utley is a throwback and right now is my favorite player in any sport. Love the club's offense, but the pitching will always keep the other team in the game.

Hey, I noticed that Gus Hansen is right there at the World Series of Poker, so I hope he makes the final table.

Am I the only one who doesn't play with a cell phone or blackberry?

Ciao!
