September 28, 2006

Last night, Rachel, Christa and I made it a socialite kind of night. We headed over to the Cole Haan store at the Shops at Columbus Circle to help raise money for the School of American Ballet. Well, really I went there for the 15% discount, oh and some of the money did go to SAB. So I feel really good about buying those cute Mary Janes. We also got to see a 15 minute ballet performance. After this event, I realized, I was not cut out to be a socialite. So much pressure. What should I wear? Who am I allowed to talk to? How can I be photographed the most? The event was hosted by Town & Country Magazine, so look out for pictures in an upcoming issue.

Premiering tonight:
8-9PM
Smallville (the CW)
Ugly Betty (ABC) Must watch pick
9-10PM
Supernatural (the CW)

Braves Update:
The hits just kept on coming for the Braves as the beat the Mets 13-1. Jeff Francoeur and Brian McCann hit back to back homers in the third and Frenchy and Scott Thorman hit back to back homers in the sixth. Chipper Jones also homered in the game. Chip has only played in 106 games and he’s amassed 25 homers and 83 RBIs, not bad at all! Most players would take that as their full year stats. Hudson allowed only one run in six innings pitched and even picked up a RBI. The Braves finish up their series with Kyle Davies on the mound tonight at 7:35 on TBS.

Games to .500: 4
Games behind Los Angeles Dodgers: 7
Games behind New York Mets: 16

Braves notes: Jeff Francoeur tailed his 100th RBI of the season last night…Andruw Jones says that he wants to stay in Atlanta. Cross your fingers on that one, he’s got one hell of an ass as an agent.

Around Sports:
Baseball:
The St. Louis Cardinals ended their seven game losing streak last night winning 4-2 over the San Diego Padres. After Houston’s extra innings win over the Pirates, the Cardinals hold a game and a half lead in the Central. The Padres are one up on the Los Angeles Dodgers, after their loss.

Football:
In Oscoda, Michigan High School Football season is over. The small northern Michigan town has not only gone 0-4, they haven’t even scored a point. The School District upheld a ruling canceling the rest of the season citing risk of injury to the players. Of course players and parents are unhappy with the ruling, but it’s only a matter of time until one of these players goes all Chris Simms and ruptures a spleen.

Popo in my Crib News:
Chicago Bear, Ricky Manning, Jr., plead no contest to a felony assault charge from an April 23rd incident involving himself and two former UCLA players, Tyler Ebell and Maurice Drew. The three were accused of kicking a man at a Denny’s Restaurant. I’m pretty sure that’s not what he meant when he ordered a grand slam. Watch out Ricky, because the popo are on your tail!

Jeff Timmons, former member of 98 Degrees was sentenced to probation stemming from an April 2006 reckless driving and refusal to sign a citation charge. Timmons was also ordered to undergo alcohol treatment as well as do 50 hours of community service. Watch out Jeff, because the popo are on your tail!
