Astros Fans, Consider Yourselves Hypocrites
Barry Bonds may have gotten plunked, but Astros fans, you just got punked. By yourselves.
See, surely you were cheering the insane antics of your idiot pitcher Russ Springer, who threw one pitch behind Barry, the next pitch at his feet, the next two up and in on the hands, and then the fifth one right off his right shoulder blade. Nice work, punkass. Three plate appearances by Barry against him, and they go like this:
Home run
Hit by pitch
Hit by pitch
Nice work, punkass.
And Astros fans, you stood and cheered after all this. Because you think Barry deserves it because he's a cheater and he is a terrible role model.
But Astros fans, what does that say about you, that you cheered on your headhunting pitcher after he hit the greatest hitter ever on purpose?
How's that for being a role model? Cheering a potential injury. Nice work, punkasses.
American Idol-ing: It was a nice ride for Elliott Yamin, who, we are glad to say, got the props and the votes he richly deserved. When he was on his game, there was no one better. His renditions of "Moody's Mood For Love" and "A Song For You" were one-of-a-kind (okay, that's actually two-of-a-kind, I guess). And I have to say, when his first album comes out, I will be getting it.
So now we're left with the hot hot hot Katharine McPhee, and our audition-rounds pick to win it all, Taylor Hicks, who will indeed win. We suck at predicting sports, but this one we had all the way, except for those weeks when Ace was the favorite, and then when Paris was being touted as the one to beat, and then when Chris suddenly became the front-runner...
