So last night I was flipping the channels. I caught the opening of “So You Think You Can Dance: The Results Show.” They do a dance number; this one reminded me of the “Thriller” video. Then they showed the choreographer, and it was none other than Wade Robson. Wade was the choreographer for ‘N Sync and Britney Spears. He was even rumored to have hooked up with Brit while she was dating Justin Timberlake. Wade, like Justin wanted to be like Michael Jackson when he was a kid. Only Wade used to dress up like him (unlike Justin who continues to pretend he is Michael Jackson). MJ found out about this and invited Wade to the Never land Ranch. Totally true story! Anyway, apparently he turned out ok. And it appears that he is married. When this happened I don’t know, but the boy was wearing a wedding ring. This has been total blast from the past week, finding out Lance is gay…not really finding out…seeing Wade on TV. All I need now is to hear about is Jeff from 98 Degrees being arrested for drunk driving…again, and my week will be complete!
Sometimes people question why I love the Braves. Well, I love America and "The Atlanta Braves have marched to the playoffs each of the last 14 Octobers as division winner. No backdoor wild-card berth for them. It's the red carpet for America's Team." -Hal Bodley from USA Today
Braves Update:
It was a homerun derby for the Braves in their 6-5 win over the Marlins, a game which also saw the return of the Jones boys. Brian McCann, Andruw Jones, with a game tying shot, and Adam LaRoche, with the game winner, all went deep. It was nice to see after Tuesday’s break down, that Rochie was able to get back to biz-ness. (He’s hit 7 homeruns in the month of July.) Just so Roche wouldn’t feel bad about getting kicked out of the game Tuesday; Bobby Cox got himself thrown out in the 8th inning. It was the 124th ejection of his managerial career. I love Bobby Cox, he really stands up for his players and isn’t afraid to get thrown out of games. He’s like a tamer Bobby Knight, because he doesn’t throw chairs or bats into the stands…yet! John Smoltz picked up the win and Bob Wickman picked up his second save as a Brave. I’m sure Smoltzy is excited to have a consistent closer in the bullpen after leaving six games this season with the win in hand only to watch the lead erased, and the Braves lose. The Braves cap off their series with the Marlins today at 1:05 on TBS.
Rumors: Wilson Betemit to the Yankees for reliever Scott Proctor. (Yeah we need pitching, relief pitching for sure, but I’m not convinced that Chipper Jones and Marcus Giles are going to be healthy for the rest of the season, and Pete Orr is just not a good enough back up if heaven forbid we need him for longer than a game or two.)
Games to .500: 4
Games behind Cincinnati Reds: 4.5
Games behind New York Mets: 11.5
Random Quote: "I'm a cramper. I've always been a cramper." - Tim Hudson, Pitcher for the Braves on leaving the game early on Tuesday.
NASCAR Update:
Headline: “Yate's ride pique Craven's interest in Cup return”...but I don't know if Craven's interest piqued Doug or Robert Yates.
Bobby Ginn, a Florida developer, has purchased a majority share of MB2. Both Joe Nemechek and Sterling Marlin currently drive for the MB2 in the Nextel Cup Series. Former drivers include current Truck Series driver, Johnny Benson, current driver of the #10 Valvoline Dodge for Evernham Motorsports, Scott Riggs, and Jerry Nadeau who was injured in a practice crash in Richmond in 2003 and has not driven in the Cup Series since.
News from all over:
A councilwoman in Middletown, NY found a severed head in her swimming pool. I really don't like Gov. Corzine, but I don't think that I would ever do that. First of all, where do you find a severed horse head? And you know it's got to be fresh because you want the blood swimming around in the pool. And then you have to somehow transport said head...I'm really getting grossed out thinking about this.
Exxon reported profits of $10 billion, coming a few days after BP reported profits of $7.3 billion. Yeah, I know there are various factors that go into the price of gas, fighting in the Middle East, rebels taking over the government in South American and African countries, taxes…but seriously can’t you do like a cash back or something. The government does is all the time, it’s called rebates. Hell, even Bank of America does it; they take money from your checking and put into your savings and pretend like your saving more money! Come on, Exxon, Brandon Davis just came back from rehab so his cocaine and liquor bills will be lower for the next two months until he gets back to hanging out with firecroch and start doing lines in the bathroom at Butter or wherever these crazy kids hang out these days.
Celebrity Tid Bits:
For all of you that were worrying, George Michael’s wedding will go on as scheduled. The fact that he is a seriously wealthy guy seems to overshadow his midnight behavior in the park. Remember when he was in Wham? What ever happened to that other guy, Andrew something? I bet he’d marry George, if George’s finance backs out at the last minute, ala Scott Wolf to Alyssa Milano.
The Hoff is a single man! Dreams do come true, I just hope this time he doesn't throw me out of his car because I live so far away.
Birthday wishes go out to A-Rod who turns 31 today. So when he makes an error or strikes out with runners in scoring position you can’t boo him, just cover your eyes and make a wincing face, because it’s his birthday and all. Tomorrow you can go back to booing or yelling, “Trade-Rod!” Four more days until the trade deadline…
It’s been fun blogging with you,
Kate
