Random Thoughts
• Here's what Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes should have named their baby: "Overrated Baby."
• Handy tip: If you're ever approached by a TV news crew and you don't want your face to be shown on TV and they won't leave you alone, put up an extended middle finger right in front of your face and keep it there. If they want to broadcast that footage, they'll have to blur out the image of the flip-off, which means they'll have to blur out your face too.
• Come on Giants! You're supposed to beat the Diamondbacks, like, a bunch of times! Get it together and salvage a split tonight. Jamey Wright's going tonight; he's done well in his first two games as a Gigante. And we don't want to hear about how Barry can't hit homers anymore; have you seen the rockets he has set off? He just happens to have hit them to the deepest parts of the field lately.
• Did the Diamondbacks really have three pitchers named Brandon pitch last night? When was the last time a team had three or more pitchers throw in the same game all with the same name? Somebody: Do some research on this.
• Some people are saying a shoe created by Adidas is racist. Got news for you: Shoes can not be racist. Shoes are inanimate objects. They have no opinions or beliefs. Racism is a belief, and a human belief only.
• We're sticking with our pre-season pick of Philadelphia and Nashville in the Stanley Cup Finals, but we're going to go ahead and abandon all notions that the Indiana Pacers will make it to the NBA Finals to play San Antonio. It'll be Detroit instead. Yeah, yeah, we go out on a limb here. The NBA playoffs are way, way too drawn out. Four teams from each conference would be just fine. Come on: Does anyone really believe the Milwaukee Bucks, with a record of 40 wins and 42 losses, belong in the playoffs? Why does this have to happen? Why do the Pistons have to spend four games exerting effort and energy to eliminate a team like that from a tournament it has no buisness being in?
• Katharine McPhee is the most attractive woman on the planet. Welcome to the E.K. Nation Babe Hall Of fame, Katharine. Class of '06 baby!
• Speaking of American Idol, during the audition shows this past winter, we predicted (although not on this blog; it was in an e-mail to a friend) that Taylor Hicks would be crowned the new American Idol this season. That's a pretty good prediction as it stands, dontcha think? But to be fair we did say on this blog that Ace Young had a good chance to win. Now that he is gone, we're looking for Kellie to be voted out next week. It's time.
