Eye Opener – 2 October 2009

2 goals for Ovie, some things never change

This guy couldn’t afford the new Yankee Stadium either.

Here are some things you might have slept through on this Autumn morning.

• The NHL opened their season last night, your winners were the Capitals, Les Habitants, Avalanche and the Flames.
• The Colorado Rockies advanced into baseball’s post-season last night with a victory over the Brewers, and with the Dodgers loss, they are still alive for the NL West division title.
• The Detroit Tigers, however, could not overcome the Twins to end the endless battle in the AL Central.  The game included a bit of a beanball war, culminating in Delmon Young gesturing angrily towards his own bench.  Be afraid, Twins pitchers.  The wrath of Delmon is both terrible and horrifying to behold.
• Garret Anderson got his 2500th hit, Ted Williams’ frozen head was used as a bowling ball, and Chris Carpenter hit a grand slam and pitched a shutout for his 17th win.
• Tiger Woods is the first billionaire athlete.
• LaGarrette Blount may not be finished at Oregon, there are reports this morning that he might be reinstated.  Run for the hills, Byron.
• The Land Baron is insisting that revenge is not a factor in this week’s game.  Please.  Stop.  Talking.
• Noel Devine had 220 yards against the hapless Colorado Buffaloes in West Virginia’s 35-24 win.
• President Obama continued his “Chicago in 2016″ campaign in Copenhagen.
• Gru-dog likes the Wildcat, but doesn’t think it fits with the Eagles.  More good news for the Vick camp, then.
• PEEZY HAS A BAD HAMMY.  FIX YO HAMMY PEEZY!
• The Zook isn’t panicking.  He’s telling panic to stick it.
• The NBA begins it’s preseason with replacement refs.  Again I say, can’t we just keep these guys?  It worked with Air Traffic Controllers, once.
• Rafa Nadal will be back next month in China.  Get the General Tso’s, Rafa!  It’s fantastic.
• Leitch covers the horrifying “season” of Jose Reyes.  Fascinating and scary at the same time.

Okay, it’s Friday.  Try not to get punched in the face, people.  It hurts.

Ouch. Stop it. Stop hitting me.

Raise a Glass

Put the Glass Down
