10 Quick Hitters With The Sip
The Mets look good. The Yanks look good. The NBA playoffs have been great. And Spider-Man 3 is breaking box office records.
Here's some quick hitters to make your Thursday a little bit more enlightened.
1. ABI Back in Full Force
Ahhhh...Armando Benitez. It's great to see ya, old friend.
Me and my cousin used to talk ABI: Armando Benitez Insurance. ABI was the amount of runs we needed to feel comfortable when Armando would come in the game. The guy broke our hearts a million times over and let's just say, I'm happy when we face him. Thank you Armando.
ABI '07- Ambriorix Burgos Insurance
2. Pedro Feliciano
This guy made Barry Bonds look bad on Tuesday. This year he dropped his delivery down a little bit closer to 180 degree and for the most part has been unhittable. Not to jinx him, but I am happy to argue that Feliciano is the best lefty setup man in the game.
3. All-Star Pitching Preview on Wednesday
Johnny Maine threw for the Mets. Danny Haren threw for the A's. Both pitched OK relatively speaking, but any way you look at it, Sip is sitting pretty.
His favorite pitcher, Action Danny Haren. And his Mets project, John Maine.
4. Delgado and Wright
These guys are heating up a little bit and that is scary. As great as it is to have Shawn Green mashing, it is a lot scarier for opposing pitchers to face a scary Delgado than a scary Green. The psychological factor of having a mashing thumper in the middle of your lineup really messes with a pitcher's head. When Delgado goes, the Mets offense is scary.
5. These NBA Playoffs
They are pretty damn sweet. Every night there is something great to watch. I HATE the NBA regular season but for my buck, the postseason is theater at its best.
This Warriors vs. Jazz series is about as watchable as any in sports. Even if you don't like basketball, this series will entertain you.
And if that doesn't do it for you then you should watch the series for Stephen Jackson. You remember the guy from the brawl in Detroit. Or the guy who after an altercation at a night club decided the best move was to pull out his gun and just start firing.
Well this dude is totally nuts and nothing has changed. For my money, watching him yell into the crowd at a heckling fan, "I make 10 million dollars a year," is about as good as it gets.
6. Tyler Perry's New Show
For those of you who do tune in to the NBA playoffs every night you will have seen about a million-billion ads for this new show by Tyler Perry, who apparently made a couple of movies that I have never heard of that were a huge success.
I wasn't going to watch this show to begin with, but now I encourage all not to watch as well. There are simply too many advertisements for this show and they are starting to drive me absolutely nuts.
We all get it. The show is coming soon. Anyone who doesn't know, will never know. Now please show me more ads for Dumb and Dumber on TBS. Thank you.
7. Derek Fisher
For those unaware, the Jazz guard Derek Fisher has missed the start of this series because his daughter has a rare form of cancer. Wednesday night, Fisher came into the game midway through the third quarter having showed up at the Arena around halftime. He greeted his teammates on the Jazz and his former teammates from the Warriors. He got a roaring ovation from the crowd.
All I can say is that it was a really really nice moment in sports. Sip got the chills, almost shed a tear.
8. White people in Utah
They are everywhere. I didn't see a single black person in the entire arena on Wednesday night.
Which leads to a question that I asked my buddy the other day.
If you could have your perfect job and make your perfect salary but have to live in Utah for the rest of your life, Would you?
I juggle this one in my head all the time.
9. Spidey 3
Box office records. I spoke to my agent last week and let him know I felt.
If Tobey wants out, then Sip wants in. I'll take a pay cut. I'll do it for $3 mil. Just sayin'.
10. Ugh
Time to watch the Yanks run off a lot of wins in a row. That's just what I think.
VCD,
Sip

After reading the last line there, I double-checked the banner at the top of the site to make sure it still says "intense Yankee bashing," because after reading the last few entries, I'm starting to wonder if it's gonna change to "gushing Yankee praise"? God, Sip, enough on how you think the yanks are so great now that they acquired their ancient #4 starter at bargain-basement rates!
Some interesting points made about your (apparent) favorite player in the last few posts, but I seem to remember him as a head-hunting, broken-bat-tossing bastard who only managed to win a world series after joining a team that had won 114 games the year before without him. Oh yeah, and the last time he had the pinstripes on? I seem to remember him slumping off the mound in the 3rd or 4th inning after getting roughed up by the Sox.
Can someone please say something insulting about those pinstriped bastards soon? Ben? AFOMG? Please?
I am one post away from never reading this blog again. I come here to hate the Yankees. I think YOU are a closet Yankee FAN. You never have anything bad to say about them! A true Yankee hater finds something to hate even when everything seems great. If the Yankees are in first place, then you find something they did in their personal life, something they did to cheat, anything! Are the Yankees in first? NO! They suck and they are paying top dollar to suck! There are tons of things to hate about this team.
Either you start hating the Yankees or I'm gone.
