Two quick things.
1. It's now in the subscription-only portion of baseballamerica.com, but i saw possibly the funniest lead to a story ever today. I knew i should have saved it when i saw it, so i'm kicking myself now for not having it. Here's sort of a paraphrase, the term non sequitur springs to mind.
Watching So-and-So mow down Triple A hitters, you might think he's never had an any adversity in his life.
yeah, um, what?
Wow, Bob, I can't get over how well Steve is pitching today.
I agree, Stan, there's a man whose life has obviously been adversity-free. His life's lack of adversity will clearly be an asset to the team in the postseason.
2. Speaking of things that don't make sense, a mock dispute over a trophy on the radio show Mike and Mike this morning was referred to as trophygate.
I for one, am very happy that it wasn't the Doubletree Nixon's folks broke into. Watergate is so much easier to bastardize into a cliche. "Trophytree" just doesn't have the same ring to it.
i can only wonder how much longer it will be before people think that Watergate was not a hotel, but a scandal (a "gate" if you will) about water. Or maybe they'll just start calling it Watergategate.
Random Mitch Hedberg thought for the day:
I was walking down the street the other day and saw a wino eating grapes. I was like "man, you gotta wait."
