Rickey B Rickey in the HOF

Rocket Science

Apparently, there is a movie about high school debaters, called Rocket Science. It looks pretty good. Would it be too pathetic for me to go see a 9:30 movie by myself? Especially since this movie has a kind of chick flick feel to it...? It is an R movie so that means my main reason for not going to movies(Kids, yes kids. Why are they allowed outside?) is not a factor. And it has been commended as "sweetly nostalgic" and a must see for former debaters, like me. You did not know that level of geekiness was possible in such a sophisticated gentleman as myself, but alas it is true I was a high school debater. It was cool and made the hell of high school almost bearable. At any rate this is all the excitement in my life, besides watching the Yankees-Sox and the implosion of the Mets.

Speaking of the Mets... Ok, You're right let's not speak of the Mets.( Single tear runs down cheek.)

Here is the low down on the last night's game and 7EO antics. BBA left out the hilarious Rickey Henderson commentating on everything discussion. It went something like this...

Rickey as Weatherman: "Rickey says that this storm is gonna fuck your shit up."
RBR as Court TV guy: "Rickey doesn't believe Mike Vick is guilty, Rickey thinks he is getting railroaded. Rickey says, 'FREE OOKIE.'" Raises fist in air.
RBR as RBR: "Rickey believes Rickey can still be effective, Rickey is no Coco Crisp, but Rickey can still get down, ya dig?"
Or something like that.

Funny random video.



That's it brothers and sisters, until the next episode...

Rickey B Rickey update

As I predicted Rickey B is back with the Mets. Okay, so its as a coach and not a player, but don't pick nits with me. Here is a funny column on Rickey.

Miscellany

• Lozo has odds on who whacks Tony Soprano.
• NOISB has some support for Shef, who has taking a lot of heat for saying Black players are not sought after in the MLB because latin players are more pliable. Although he is not the most articulate guy, he has a point. How else can you explain Julio Franco still having a job, while Rickey B does not?
• Yglesias has the Knocked Up critique of Brokeback Mountain. Never seen either movie but it sounds reasonable to me.
• pants plz This site is just funny and dominated by cats, my favorite animal.
  
• Lasting Milledge Facts. Thats for all you Mets' Fans

That is all I have right now and I don't know why I am typing in bold print, but as my favorite bartendress says, "Not my problem!"

Rickey B Rickey

Prediction of the week, Rickey Henderson comes back and plays for Mets. Mets win another ring. Write it down.
