Gaaaaaaame Threeeeeeeee

Game Three is tonight in Ottawa. Ducks are completely sticking it to the Senators so far. Apparently, Ottawa newspapers were blaming bad ice for Ottawa's losses, but come on - the NHL is littered with bad ice, right, MSG? Think about it. It's JUNE and you're in Southern California. Is the ice gonna be bad? Of course it is. If Ottawa wants to do something about that, then they should make sure their home ice is in good condition. We'll find out tonight if they did or not. Either way, they NEED this game tonight or they're pretty much done before the hardware is handed out. But hell - given the way Pahlsson and Moen are playing against The Big Sens Line, they might be done already.

So Armando "Two Balk" Benitez was traded to the Marlins earlier this week. Hands up - who's shocked? OK, now put your hands down 'cause you're lying.

You know, I still love baseball. I also love the fact that five batters got plunked in Boston Friday night. But let's face it - if the Yankees (or, more accurately, Yankees fans) were mad about being plunked by Tim Wakefield - a knuckleballer - than they're morons. Just thought I'd say that for the record.

You know what we need? More bench clearing brawls. Those are amazing because nobody really knows what to do in those. I still love seeing a batter charge the mound being all "RAAH I'M ANGRY!" and then turn into "Oh, crap! NOW what do I do?!" when he actually gets there. It just doesn't get much better than that (except for throwing errors).

I get to play piano for who knows how long at an art exhibit opening tomorrow afternoon in downtown Rochester. The kinda fun part was putting a CD together to sell just in case people were curious enough to spend some money on my music. Since it's a bit of a compilation, I decided to call it "You're Just Making This Up As You Go, Aren't You?"

I'm playing for this person.
It's happing HERE starting at 2pm.
GAAAAAAH!!!
