Random Notes
Continuing to back up our claim that we provide little, and in some cases, no useful information ever on this blog, we bring you this couple of golden nuggets...
• We fully expect something magical to happen tonight at Minute Maid Park as the Astros take on the Cardinals. Why? Because a couple of months ago we were planning on being in Texas at this very moment and we were going to go to this game. We have a ticket to it. It's sitting in the upstairs TV room by the computer. And it will go unused. This is why we expect something great to happen. Will Albert Pujols hit three, or maybe four, home runs? We expect it. If not that, maybe a no-hitter. Let's check who's pitching tonight...Chris Carpenter and Andy Pettitte? Oh, well, in that case then, it's a no-brainer. There will be a no-hitter tonight at the Juice Stand.
• As much as we love Katharine McPhee, and as stoked as we are to see that our predicted winner from a few months back during the audition shows, Taylor Hicks, is also in the final four, the truth is that the best singer in American Idol this year is Elliott Yamin. There have been really only two memorably outstanding performances this season, and Elliott has had both of them. Sadly, Elliott is probably on his way out next week. But he deserves to win as much as any of the others.
