there's snow on the roof...

...but there's fire in the cellar!!!! that might be the funniest thing i've ever heard. i hearby declare the last week of june dan pashman week. not only did he provide us with that great youtube video, but he also does real work - for npr. check out his latest report on the 80th birthday of the cyclone, the old wooden roller coaster at coney island. if you have the time, and who doesnt have 2+ min, watch the video and listen for the laughing - that's dan. he also let's out a "wow" as the coaster is rising and a "holy..." as it peaks. im happy to say that after 12 years id recognise that laugh ANYWHERE. good times...

cubs - wow. monday night's game and this afternoon's game make me think something special is unfolding right in front of us. that's 3 comeback wins in the past week - pretty remarkable for a team that looked lifeless just 3 weeks ago. they need to take at least 1 of the next 2, though a sweep would really help the cause.

celtics - im speechless. danny ainge is retarded. i realize that's an insult to anyone who's retarded, but i dont know what else to say. he has single handedly put that franchise in a helpless position for 15 years (the past 5 years and the next decade). he is just awful, his decisions defy logic and you'd think that he's never seen a team play basketball despite the fact he was a STARTER on one of the greatest teams ever. unbelievable. thank god im not living in boston any more - weei must be short circuiting with irate townies...

wha wha WHAT!?!?!?

cubs - cubs enter the 9th up 8-3. eyre does his best to screw it up, ends up giving up a run, second and third no outs and lou yanks him, in comes de facto closer howry. first pitch base hit to left, run scores. second pitch base hit to right, run scores. now it's 8-6, first and second, no outs. len kasper, who might be one of the worst announcers in the history of announcing, describes what just happened as this: boy, bob howry doing what he can to stop this rockies freight-train in the 9th inning - the first 5 have gotten on base. WHAT!?!?!? he's not stopping anything. oh, by the way, next pitch - 3 run homer to troy tulowitzki. 9-8 rockies, 6 runs in the 9th, NO OUTS. un-freaking-believable... and now some stupid fan runs out to the mound with his arms out stretched as if he's asking bob howry "can you PLEASE get ONE OUT?!!?!?". and now he's being led off by the neck - awesome...

celtics - danny ainge is apparently considering trading their second best player AND the number 5 pick, in one of the deepest drafts in years, for a washed up locker room cancer jermaine o'neal?!?!!? the same jermaine o'neal who hasnt really played a full season in over 3 years? the same jermaine o'neal who has "potential" but is just an average center in the worst conference in sports??? unbelievable. can someone tell me how ainge has a job? seriously, he has absolutely run the proudest franchise into the ground. the only GM who's done a worse job during his tenure is matt millen. that might be the only time you ever hear the celtics and lions compared in the same sentence. ever. will someone please fire ainge? please. what he's doing is not working, and if you fire him today, it will still take 4 years to overcome what he's done.

cubs update - after the first 6 rockies come to the plate and score, howry retires the next 3 in order. way to be there when it counts bob...

update - holy sh!t - cubs score 2 with 2 outs in the 9th to win. one of the most unbelieveable innings ive ever seen... how im going to sleep now i have no idea...
