NEW YORK, NY – Hey there, sports fans! Welcome to another wonderful Wednesday in July. Hot enough for you? Only a few more days and we’re at MLB’s All-Star Break, a solemn time when we take pause a remember the only All-Star game that was ever any good, and how it was completely ruined, never to return. Oh well, let’s talk about some stuff.
Yankees Moving Jazz Chisholm Back to Second Base. No one cares.
Kevin Durant Says Time with Nets Was a “Great Vibe.” Someone really needs to check in on Kevin Durant. A statement like this sounds like a twisted cry for help. I think he spent too much time out in the desert or something. The Nets are not now, and have never been, “a great vibe.” New York could give a rats a$$ about the Nets. The rest of the country cares even less than that.
Kirk Cousins Felt He Was Misled By the Atlanta Falcons. Let’s get one thing straight Kirk Cousins has made—and continues to make—far more money than he ever should have. He really has nothing to complain about. He should maybe have his own reality show: Mediocre Multimillionaire. But I read one thing that really made the hair on the back of my neck stand on end. Captain Garbagetime said that had he known that both Atlanta and Minnesota were going to draft quarterbacks, all things being equal he would have stayed in Minnesota. So, in summation, crisis averted.
As I write this, the Mets are losing 1-0 to a Baltimore team that’s as boring/disappointing as a M. Night Shyamalan movie and the Yanks and Mariners are scoreless going into the bottom of the fourth, with rain moving in. These are the riveting sports updates that help stretch a column out to a somewhat respectable length. SPOILER ALERTS: Metsies came back to win in 10 innings, while the Mariners pen imploded in the 6th & 7th in a Yankees win.
In lieu of watching another boring All-Star Game next week, I would instead suggest you watch one or two of your favorite baseball movies. With that in mind…
Rank These Baseball Films. Here are a handful of classic baseball movies. Rank them from one through seven. Bad News Bears (1976 version), Bull Durham, The Natural, A League of Their Own, The Sandlot, Major League, and Field of Dreams.
Yeah, so anyway, I think I’m done. If something… anything… even remotely exciting develops, I’l try to add it in the morning or drop it in the comments section. Come back tomorrow for Buddy Diaz.
