I'm so official all I need is a whistle

Greinke let down again. Perfect game ruined by a guy who looks like he should be at a bike rally or weighing in at a truck stop. The man made of glass retires quietly...guess we shoulda seen that coming, as he fell asleep in the dugout earlier this year. And I found out that Boulevard, my favorite brewing company on earth, made a beer for Nebraska only. What's this? No love for the MO!? Weak, decrepit weak, walker with tennis balls weak. Oh well, I'll just have to try it when I'm up there for the CWS! Can anyone comprehend the fact that both Gordo and Kila are in AAA? They are both killing it, (so is Parraz...with TPJ like fashion) and we are strugglin' to score runs, let the Greinkotron down again. This guy is getting hosed and the royals are like 2-12 in his starts. Absurd. The most gifted starting pitcher in the AL should have at least five victories and not feel like he has to do everything himself when he goes out there, the job Banni and the bullpen did Tuesday was The Masters on CBS...but although we are 10-9 since Yost took over, it seems we are lacking that certain firepower....that certain gumption. Why not take a chance and let Guillen play RF, put Scotty doesn't know in CF and Sandlot in LF (where he was outstanding last yr, he has no busi in RF with his below-average arm) Call up Hawaiiain Punch and see what he has got. I realize this season is lost, but we need to know what we have, whether it's the second-coming of Ken Harvey, or Brandon Berger, or the Futures-Game all-star who everyone said was can't miss prospect Justin Huber, the 2005 Futures MVP, is he Ryan Shealy? He could be Bob "The Hammer" Hamelin....I am sick of watching us let guys play in AAA while they are blocked by aging/mediocre/etc players. Why not call him up and give him som AB's, see what he has got. Then if you don't like it, send him back down and let him work things out, or give him something to work on. They walk Hawaiian Punch like crazy and it's just absurd. Gordo's been playing really well also. Why are we letting glorified utilitymen be everyday players when we have guys running around with potential and we don't know if they are the real deal or not....remember when we ruined JP Howell and rushed him through the majors? Then traded him for Joey Gathright....they should have been patient and not pushy with JP and just watched the Gathright YouTube vid of him jumping over cars instead. I am interested to see who we pick up in the draft on Monday with Arty and the Joker there representing. Pomeranz or the catcher from Miami would get me into cackle mode. Quick.

Game of the Week:

Super Mario Galaxy 2 for Wii

Wow. This is the first one. With Yoshi. And new suits. Therefore it is Lake Superior.

Beer of the Week:

Zon by Boulevard.

This is when you know summer is here. The coriander and light taste of a Belgian Witbeer. Get it and enjoy it on a deck or a rooftop near you. Outstanding. I'd love to catch this on tap somewhere here in St Lou....let me know if you run across it. Enjoy and Happy Summer!

Movie of the Week:

Without a doubt it was Shrek Forever After. I've hung with Shrek, in a social setting, not in his deeded swamp. He's a pretty cool guy, and that Fiona, helluva good cook. I'd recommed viewing it in IMAX 3D, it makes a huge diff. I've seen four movies in 3D now, on some it is more of a gimmick as its the new trendy thing to do. But on this (and Avatar or FurnWars or StarGully or whatever you'd prefer to call it) it is an absolute must. It seemed like more of an afterthought on Alice in Wonderland and Clash of the Titans only took advantage of it in certain moments. Far Far Away. I wasn't extremely impressed with Shrek the Third, but this is above and beyond that, you shouldn't hezzy to plop it down with some popcorn and eyecandy and prepared to be entertained. I have attached a pic with myself, Shrek, and Fiona for your viewing pleasure. Despite what you may believe...they are not Lakers fans. Fiona even told me I was brave to wear that shirt. Haha.

Jam of the Week:

This was a close call, I'm going to go with the resurgence of Lupe Fiasco. "Past my Shades" by B.O.B. featuring Lupe Fiasco is pretty solid. The hook really gets into your head, and it makes me grin a bit when I'm rollin' around town thinkin...hey...you can't see past my shades...solid and so true

Prediction of the Week:

Lakers in Six. I was originally going to say five. I realize these old dogs have figured out how to play at home. Which is fine, I'd love to beat them in Boston to cap it off. Just like we did to the Suns.

Loomism:

If you didn't catch it above, if something is far better than something else, normal humans would say superior...I throw out Lake Superior....get your geography on, son.
