since i know nothing, i won't pretend to.

this is randy foye. he was drafted by the t-wolves last night. er, um i mean he was drafted by the celtics, traded to the trailblazers then traded to the wolves. do the wolves really want to add this guy who has bounced around the league this much? i mean c'mon.
all right all right.
my knowledge of college basketball is very slim. i know that they play a tournament in march and during it, i kinda like to get drunk. other than that, i'm pretty much hopeless. what i've read about this guy today they say he can play right away and he can play defense. hopefully he'll be a good fit. for the real knowledge though i'll turn to local guru kevin mchale. he said "he's a basketball player." well, that's good. no matter what happens at least he's not mario williams.

santana's goin for the sweep

johan santana's on the mound today at noon as the twins go for the sweep at home against the dodgers. odalis perez is scheduled to pitch for the dodgers. mauer will probably not catch today, but he will probably dh. three players who will be the shit today are as follows johan santana, joe mauer (if he plays), and i'm gonna go out on a limb and say luis castillo, he's due. there's no reason the twins shouldn't complete the sweep today winning their seventh straight.

it should be easy. i love afternoon baseball. it makes work go so much faster. if i was smart i would have found a way to skip out and go to the game. but it's impossible today. go twins. vote mauer.

i don't even want to know

yes, today is the nba draft and as an alleged timberwolves fan, i hope that i can divert my attention to this afternoon's twins/dodgers game. i know i can't though. the wolves, as you may know have the sixth pick. the effectiveness of mccants is really yet to be seen. and so i go back to the last wolves 1st round pick none other than ndudi ebi, pictured here. just look at his great career numbers
notice the players he's best compared to. also notice that josh howard was taken three spots later. of course every other team passed on howard too, so that's not really fair. but c'mon, i think i've earned the right to complain about everything mchale does these days. the latest i've heard is a trade sending marko jaric and ricky davis to denver for kenyon martin. yeah, great idea. he's just a locker room problem who's signed to a huge contract until 2011. the same year kevin garnett turns 35. hey mchale, did kg do something? this seems personal. or are you just feeling threatened by isaiah thomas?

hey joe, would you mind telling me what the fuck is going on?

first off let me say that i like, no love this picture. maybe if jeter would have spent less time blowing bubbles he coulda scored.



ok that's not important. what i'm meaning to talk about is this year's all star voting. how is joe mauer this far behind? granted he has moved from fifth to third in the last few days but still he's batting .377! not to be lame and invoke the name, but it's true, this is fucking bullshit.
if he was second behind rodriguez, it wouldn't be as bad. nobody expected detroit to win 50 games all year, let alone by the end of june. so ok.
but both of them are behind jason varitek. i could sit here and tell you just how much better mauer's stats are than varitek's, but i'm not gonna. if you're curious, find out for yourself. just know this, the only reason varitek's up so far is because he plays for the boston red sox. a team that people still seem to love as the underdog. guess what? they aren't underdogs anymore. they won the world series, their payroll is second only to the yankees and their bandwagon fans are at least as annoying as the yanks'. someday maybe i'll write about how much i absolutely hate the red sox, but not today. this is a plea.
i know i've got 16,000 readers out there. please vote online for joe mauer for catcher. if all 16,000 of you vote the allowed 25 times, we'll have just enough to catch varitek. that greasy can't read a kids book bastard.

where to start?

well, here it is.
this is the first post on 'this is fucking bullshit!'.
i don't have a whole hell of a lot to say about it.
please remember that i live in minnesota, and have no cable right now.
please enjoy my ranting about sports and whatever other bullshit i can think of.
this starts now
this is fucking bullshit...really
