Cheers and Jeers: Rained Out Version

Well weather seems to be the enemy of weekends, the Big Unit and my attempts at running so rain gets a big Jeer today. A quick run down of some of the other cheering and jeering

Quote of the day:

Phillip A Simon, paralegal, 1931 describing the Supreme Court (ok from Jon Stewart's America)

"The interior chamber is near dark. In the middle of the room, the justices float in a huge tank of brine. Their decisions and dissents are issued in whale-song and hastily recorded and interpreted by clerks."

Cheers - John Smoltz. He is one tough hombre. Arm problems. Fatigue. Whatever. He doesn't give excuses. He just goes out and pitches lights out to give his team hope.

Jeers - Chicago White Soxs. On principle. Manager Ozzie Guillen, who has the emotional intelligence of a 5 year old, has vowed to quit if the White Sox win the World Series. Hey if I had to deal with Ozzie day after day you damn sure I would play all out to get rid of him.

Jeers - To MJ. His inability to find a fire breathing dragon to lay waste to the Abomination, known as the White Sox v. BoSox series has put a crimp in everyone's day. We demand dragons or at least car sized meteorites.

Cheers - USC v. Charlie Weiss. We'll see what Weiss is made of. He has had two weeks to dissect the USC defense. USC has looked mortal for the first half in the last two games. Second half they have looked like a mixture of Superman, the Incrediable Hulk and the Godfather (Its not personal just business). I'm interested to see how Charlie stacks up against the elite team.

Cheers - 37% approval rating

Cheers - To thinking about what Maurice Clarett is up to these days. "Would you like fries with that?" is among my favorites.
